This is a day to confess, dear friends. I fell for a new gadget of those "as seen on TV".
It is called sumo slicer and it is supposed to cut, slice and grate everything under the sun.
After I bought it (it will take some time to come) I had a moment of repentment. Why would I need something like that!
But it is done. And now that it is the season of fruits and veggies, I will make awesome salads while the veggies are in season.
Have you ever succumbed to these sort of temptations? In fact, I don´t spend much in clothes. But I love all these gadgets. And sometimes I don´t even use them.
Have a lovely day. I´m off now to my notifications.

I used to give to such temptations a decade back and then collected a lot of things I didn't use. Some I parted away as it came useful to others and few are still with me. Now I really think before I buy. Hope you make good use of it.

I have bought some not so expensive but not useful things now out of boredom. Better than to pay for a shrink online

@marguicha How do you find this new one? DO you think it was a good buy and is convenient and useful?

We´ll see. It will be a miracle if it is half as good as they say.

I wouldn't spend on gadget unless I need it so bad. I would spend more on clothes.

I have some clothes the are 25 years old. II´m not much interested in them although all of them are good clothes. But to have a gadget that slices thin slices of carrots! That´s a miracle

I have something similar to this and, really, it's a rotary grater more than a slicer. There is a slicing blade but it is not very effective, in my opinion. I use mine mostly for grating cheese (the fine grater is very good for hard cheese like Parmsan and Pecorino), carrot and for chopped nuts. For thin slicing, I prefer my mandoline which is sharper and does a much better job with cucumber, potato and so on.

It will all depend on the steel blade. I confess that I don´t have great faith in it as it is a chinese product.

Yes, one time I ordered a spaghetti combo with a lid to drain pasta water, and spiky spoon. It was of poor quality.

Fell to it a number of times but these items are always left in the cart.

Enjoy your new gadget. It sounds like it will come in handy for all your slicing and dicing.
I love gadgets too

Yes, we have had such gadgets which looked awesome and very useful but did not turn out as much.
Once I purchased a device that recharged AA cells. Yet I got to use it very rarely.
Now, I do not even rightly recall where in my house is that hidden!

Sounds very interesting. If you do not use them, since what do you do with them? I hope when it comes it will work out well and you will like it.
