I received the Quisinart Mini-Prep as a Christmas gift and didn't really know how I was actually going to use it since it seemed so small. Once I started using it, I can't live without it.

It's great for quickly chopping herbs. However, my favorite way to use it is for making small batches of baby food for my daughter.
