Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Stainless Steel Onion Holder
Customer Review: Onions (without the blood, sweat and tears...)
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, it won't help the crying, but this little gizmo does make slicing onions and other vegetables oh so easy. Not, I must say, that slicing onions is a two-man (or woman) job in the first place, but getting perfectly thin slices, even as you get near the stem and there is nothing to grasp, can be challenging. My kitchen prep frequently ends up with determining whether the bleeding is arterial or capillarial, so I look for ways to make things less painful. One simply slices an onion in half and plops it flat side down on the cutting board. Jab in the prongs and away you go. The handle gives a good grip, the prongs grasp the onion securely. Slide the knife through the openings and Hey Presto, perfect slices, bloodlessly. No need to revive squeamish guests.
In an experimental mood, I used it to slice cucumbers, potatoes and tomatoes and the results were excellent (except for the tomatoes, which should have been a tad less ripe). The potatoes were the right size for an au gratin or similar dish, the other veggies perfect for salads. A mandoline produces slices that are too thin, not to mention the inevitable loss of fingertips. As you travel down life's highway, it's nice to find things that are uncomplicated and do what they are supposed to do. I give this a five.
