The Crinkle Cutter
When I posted about the French fries I made with Cousin J-Yah's crinkle cutter, some of you expressed an interest in what it looks like.Here it is.
This picture doesn't show the heavy plastic cover for the very sharp blade! It's really just a wavy-edged cleaver with the handle on the top. It has significant weight and cuts through most veggies without effort. I use it carefully as I think it would make wavy-edged cuts on fingers just as easily!
I have used it mostly for shaping veggies more interestingly but it also makes unique butter pats and slices of ice cream. So far.
It is manufactured by Pampered Chef and you can find one here but Cousin J-Yah found mine for half that price at a garage sale.

Interesting! I have not seen one before. Thanks for showing it.
I know I have one of those somewhere! I bought one about 15 years ago at my first Pampered Chef party. Now I must go unearth is somewhere.
Those are fabulous kitchen tools; I have one which I think I got at a garage sale umpteen million years ago. It's an oldie but goodie and holds up a lot better than the newer stuff which tends to be made of light plastic. I use it for just about everything when I want a crinkle cut - celery, carrots, zucchini, even root vegetables.
Gadgets are da bomb. I love gadgets. I just bought a "canning funnel." (Should I ever attempt to can.)
Remember your zucchini post? This blog has a whole list of things to do with zucchini:

But how would you sharpen it?
Kitt, you're welcome!
Mrs. I, I didn't realize Pampered Chef did parties - were they like Tupperware parties?
Nancy, yes, mine is very heavy and has a satisfying "thunk" when it hits the cutting board. Beware your fingers!
Cookiecrumb, indeed! You're gonna can this year, I can feel it coming!
Nancy, thanks for the link to Kalyn but my zucchini plant has actually been sort of sad - only a few little zucchinis so far. I fertilized it last week, however, so I'm hopeful...
Morgan, good question! I guess I'd have to take it to a professional knife sharpener.
I've never been to a Tupperware party, but I have been to a Pampered Chef party. The salesperson demonstrates a bunch of different tools and makes some dishes using them, and then you place an order for what you want. The hostess gets a discount.
I got an apple peeler-corer-slicer and some bread molds.
Kitt, I live and learn! How are your gadgets working for you?
That is neat! DH would love that.
Mom Taxi Julie, thanks for stopping by!
The corer-peeler-slicer works great. I don't use it often, but when I do I'm glad to have it. The molds are interesting but I haven't done much with them. I'll have to try them with no-knead bread.
I hope you'll blog about it when you do!
