Pampered Chef Cut-N-Seal Review

As my husband will attest, I am not a cook.  In fact, I hate everything about the kitchen.  However, this little gadget has come in handy more than once and makes quick, fun work out of lunches and desserts.

My toddler loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but eats them with such abandon that I end up having to scrub most of the sandwich off of him by the time he's done.  With my Cut-N-Seal, I am able to make him a PB-N-J and he eats it without the mess.  I'm not sure what the magic is, but it works.  He also loves the fact that they are "Mommy's special circle sandwiches". 

I've even been able to use this gadget with other healthy snacks and sandwiches for him.  I loves the fact that whenever I pop it out, he's getting something special.  Plus it helped him learn what a circle was.  Nice side effect!

The only complaints I have with the Cut-N-Seal is that it wastes a ton of bread and is really sharp.  Even though my son wants to use it, I can't let him because I'm afraid of his little fingers getting in the way.  It's also not dishwasher safe.  I know it's small and I should just deal with it, but I HATE doing dishes no matter how small.

The Cut-N-Seal comes with recipes as well.  The one for tarts is wonderfully easy and quick to make for parties and potlucks. 

Bottom line, for nine bucks, it's a steal.  I use it at least twice a week and it makes my kid feel like I'm going out of my way for him.
