I fix meals for at least 6 per day and this tool is quite the time saver for me.I love that I can throw an onion and a few garlics in and do them all at once.I also love that I do not end up smelling like a garlic or onion by the time I have finished.When I home can salsa I do all my jalapenos in this chopper with no problem,just put the waxy edge down and chop on the inside and it does a fine job.I have had my chopper for 2 years and it is still going strong....
