It seems that many recipes call for chopping onion or garlic which can be time consuming. I have a large Cuisinart that is useful, but at the same time quite a lot to contend with depending on the size of the recipe. This product from Williams Sonoma is called the "Vegetable Chop & Measure". There are currently 84 reviews which for the most part are very favorable. I just got through watching the video. Tell me what you think if this is a worthwhile kitchen gadget or not? It did meet my first requirement that it is dishwasher safe! Price: $30. Available: here.
This new release from Williams Sonoma is made by J.K. Adams of Vermont. The wooden cutting boards are made from sustainable maple, thus providing the strength of hardwoods for cooking preparation. The boards are laser engraved to provide instant recognition whether you are prepping chicken, beef or vegetables. Cross-contamination is a easy way that your family can become ill and these icons help limit that possibility. Another helpful feature are the grooves on the poultry and beef cutting boards. This helps prevent spills during preparation from getting onto kitchen counters. Prices: $35-$50. Available: here.
