And changing and slicing and dicing, using these handy little food prep gadgets from Salter. They’re all manually operated, ie no inconvenient power cables getting in the way, and they’re super-quick and handy for preparing all kinds of food. We particularly like the nifty little Pull Chopper, that can mince and dice garlic and ginger, or finely chop herbs for salads and sauces by simply pulling the easy-grip handle.
