Until I oredered my pampered chef my meals consisted of drivethru and food that I could open the box and boil. I didnt wanna be in the kitchen for more than five minutes at a strectch for any reason. I am a single mother of a three year old and I work full time. Lets face it I needed to better for my baby. She loves fruits and veggies but they are such a pain to cut up. I found the best things in my life the knife that came in the pampered chef kit. The first time I got it out I was trimming fat from a pack of steaks I had bought on sale. I started with steak number one and two. I trimmed the fat and cut them up and I didnt want to stop. I prepared the other 3 steaks in that pack and wrapped them to freeze.....I still didnt want to stop I opened the second family pack and trimmed all of them down and wrapped them as well. It cuts thru raw meat with such ease. Fruits and veggies are also no problem for these knives it just glides. my email is livinalo neipa@m yspace if you would like to know more.
