Joie Strawberry Slicer, Perfectly Even Fruit Cutter Tool, Ideal for Cakes, Pies and Garnishes, Cute Berry Shaped Kitchen Gadget, Stainless Steel, BPA-Free

Perfect for slicing strawberries quick and easy.

I am a bit upset that the green color on top was not what I got. It was all the same red color. But it’s ok. I will keep what I got since it works the same.

I have to admit to liking kitchen gadgets, but when I first saw one of these I thought it was a little silly, I only bought because I did not have prime and I was bringing up my cart to enough for free shipping.Once I started using this, I wonder how I ever managed to get a quart of strawberries sliced before I owned one of these.It works well on small to large berries, the really large ones you will have to cut into a couple of pieces so they will fit in here.With this and the strawberry stem remover, I can prepare strawberries for shortcake in only a few minutes, and the mostly even slices make for a nicer looking presentation when I serve dessert.When chosing strawberries, I go by appearance first, and the aroma second, the strongerthe aroma of the berries, the better they will taste, and the less sugar needed to sweeten them. So if you see someone in the grocery "smelling" the strawberries, they are probablynot crazy. : )Just a note on the recipe, I had never seen strawberry shortcake on actual cake until I was in my 30'sMy mother always made strawberry shortcake on biscuits. My kids will probably never forget the daythat I saw Emeril Lagasse making strawberry shortcake on biscuits on his show and I shouted out tomy family "See, I'm not crazy!" : )I like strawberry shortcake on biscuits because the less sweet taste of the biscuits keeps the fresh fruit flavorof the berries from being overwhelmed by the taste of cake.My favorite shortcake:1 quart ripe strawberries.1 package Pillsbury Grands Honey Butter Biscuits2 to 4 teaspoons of sugar, brown, raw, or tableadjust level of sweetness to your taste, I useless of the sugar if I am adding the brown sugar.Real whipped cream. I usually use the refrigerated type in a can,for a lactose intolerant version use Cool Whip, thawed for about half an hour (see note at end)when preparing strawberries, I cut off any discolored areas, or any really mushy areaswith a paring knife once they have been washed and drained, and had the stems removed.Sometimes it is almost impossible to find almost perfect berries.I slice the strawberries directly into a medium sized mixing bowl, lightly sprinkle withsugar, mix gently with a spoon.Bake the biscuits according to package directionsLet the biscuits cool slightly after removing them from the oven.Split the biscuits in half, I generally use a total of 4 half biscuits per servingspoon the sliced sweetened berries over the biscuits and top with the whipped cream.Serve and enjoy!For toddlers and preschool age children, I break the biscuits into bite sized pieces andmix with some of the berries in a bowl and then top with the whipped cream.(note) I have gotten more lactose as I have gotten older, the Cool Whip is not as goodat least in my opinion, as the whipped cream, but if I am feeling a bit wild and crazyI mix the Cool Whipped and real whipped cream half and half for my serving, so I don'tenvy everyone that gets to eat theirs with real whipped so much

The blades on this product are metal rather than plastic as in the one I had before. This one seems much more sturdy.

nice product to slice strawberries

This product is great for little hands to help in the kitchen. My 21 month old loves cutting her own strawberries to prepare a snack. A piece of it broke off on first use and we reached out and they sent us a new one immediately which has been great. Overall great product, wonderful customer service and would recommend.

Everything about this item rocks except how long it took to get to me.z

For quick prep of a quantity of strawberries, as well as even slices for a nice presentation, this slicer is very helpful. I had been using an egg slicer, but strawberries eventually stretched the wire too much. While searching for a new egg slicer for this purpose, I found this product. From the look of the metal blades, I hoped it would last longer than wire.So far, I have been happy with its performance. As other reviewers have said, large berries do not fit and end up needing to be cut in half first, but most berries fit just fine for me. If they are firm, they slice cleanly, but soft berries don't do so well. It does also require a bit of force for slicing, as the blades are really not very sharp. If the blades were sharper, I have a feeling soft berries would do much better.I have also tried mushrooms with this slicer. While it does slice them, the mushrooms are not as sturdy and get smashed more easily. Again, if it were sharper, this would probably not be an issue.So overall, this has been a helpful little tool for me and I'm glad I picked it up. I do wish the blades were sharper for better performance, so I just have to be careful how I use it.

Este aparato sirve súper bien, yo hasta diría excelente. Yo lo uso para hacer laminas y ponerlas en uno de esos vasos con tubo agujereado dentro y hacer infusiones. Pero debería de servir divinamente pata decorar un pastel, por ejemplo.

muy útil, corte perfecto, buen diseño, buena calidad, comodo se lava facilmete .lo recomiendo me quedo encantada por lo practico que resulto

Cumple con las funciones prometidas así que pueden esperar un buen trabajo rebanando fresas, yo lo utilizo para una peletería

Excelente Producto

Parece como un juguete desechable, el plastico con bordes filosos, mal terminado, las navajas chuecas, muy corriente... el color es casi translucido, no se ve rojo
