Customer Review: Pinzon round bamboo chopping block with inset mezzaluna
Summary: 1 Stars
I once had an excellent chopping set for the kitchen, and thought I'd finally found another. The original set consisted of a shallow wooden bowl, much like a small salad bowl, with a crescent-shaped chopper. It was the best tool I've found for coarsely chopping things like boiled vegetables or chicken giblets. I find that a food processor produces shreds and large chunks. With the original set, because it was manual, the user could direct the chopper to the larger chunks to reduce them to the desired size. The original bowl was about a foot in diameter and about three inches deep. The chopper was about an inch longer than the mezzaluna of this product, and its handle was set about two inches higher.
I thought at last I'd found that excellent set again, but not so. The shallow indentation of this block is too shallow to confine the food being chopped, which scatters. The mezzaluna is so dull it can hardly be said to chop the food so much as to press it apart. The food ends up mushy, through being crushed, rather than cleanly cut. The chopping block is very heavy, which is fine for a chopping block, but inconvenient for something that should be a light-weight wooden bowl, easily turned during the chopping.
I cannot recommend this set.
