Is the slap chop any good?

Yeah, and one of the questions I had when that went down was, Is this a set up? she tried to bite out his tongue! Talk about a career ender!
I imagine there is more bad blood out there than we care to know about in the TV pitchman world.

At least she didn't pull a "Lorena Bobbit" on him! :shock:

Finally got the one from Willimas-Sonoma. Made very, very quick work of chopping an onion for Chicken Parm last night. Two whacks -- one for each half of the onion, and I had very nicely chopped onion. Big, BIG time-saver, and this on isn't all that expensive. Comes completely apart for dishwasher cleaning.

Good - no more crying or "pound pound pound" on the conventional chopper.

Only sissies can't chop onions with a good chef's knife. My sole concession to modernity is that I like to use one of those flexible, plastic sheets on which to do the chopping -- makes it easier to shuffle the onion mince (or dice) into whatever vessel is required.

My xyl (who is an admitted sissy) has one of those chop-a-slop gadgets. It mashes the onion mince, making a wet mass of mashed bits laced through with strings and strips of onion skins (the very thin membranes between the layers). One hell of a mess.

Yes. I agree with you. I use a regular knife and it works great. The same knife my grandparents used for chopping onions. The knife was about 70 years old when they got it. The way I see it, it's worked for well over 100 years and it works well now. Why should I switch and use some modern gadget when the old way was simple and produces better results.

yes, I agree. I don't like those new fangled food processors/choppers. They tend to turn the vegetables into a mass of mush. I'll stick to the old way. The good way. Just like when it comes to writing. I stick with a quill pen, a fountain pen , and a pencil. Worked good way back when, works good now.

So you are ready for the teaparty take over.

Too modern. It's a wedge-shaped stick and clay tablet for me.

Real hams don't mess with no sissy "preparation." They eat their food raw.

Some like to sift their dirt first for rocks. Save the rocks for later.

The rocks are the best part.
