I have a similar widget and I haul it out periodically when I want to chop something really fine, such as onion for guacamole. I prefer just hammering on the chopper to trying to mince, scrape, repeat over and over again.

I've had them before, and they do great for things with that are firm, but trying to chop something soft like ripe tomatoes, well, you might as well be juicing them.

Am i broken? I handled a few Shun knives the other day and they feel like there's no substance to them. Is it me, or are they really that light?

I use this.

The downside is it takes the smaller cartridges. But it works.

All in all I think both are just overpriced and you should just get a Lodge or Wolfgang Puck or Cuisinart one from the local TJ Maxx or Homegoods.

My Lodge works fine, and serves as an impromptu wok on my lovely electric stove. No wok hai, but between heat retention and almost decent burners I can get a good temp going ,and keep it. I DO wish the bottom wasn't quite as rounded, for heating efficiency.

Use nitrile gloves instead of latex, it's more tear-resistant:

Also good in case he's cooking for someone with a latex allergy

I just picked up the Oster pro 500 for $11 on clearance at Walmart. Enter your zip and see if it's available near you. Seems to be good blending cheese and eggs together.
