Fighting with the Nicer Dicer.

Tweet

Today, among the things I bought, I finally decided to buy a Nicer Dicer. The idea is to have small dices of onions, potatoes, carrots you name it. You can also slice, grate and do other things with a minimum effort. This evening, alone, I decided to start an eggplant pickle. The first part was to dice and caramelize onions so I fetched my new toy. There were 2 sizes of dices and I preferred the smallest. BIG MISTAKE! I would have had to buy an elephant to sit on the gadget to make the onion go through the holes. So, after some time and cursing, I used the bigger holes. Fortunately, after caramelizing the onion dices, they did not look so big. Tomorrow I´ll dice the eggplant. Wish me luck. Although that, too can be done bigger and will look smaller when cooked. Leticia, who is wiser than I, told me why should I buy that if she could dice onions and other veggies as small as I wanted. But the truth is that we are not getting any younger and maybe in the future we will have to rely in these thingies. What do you think about new kitchen gadgets? Do you buy some, once in a while?
