Gefu Flexicut Vegetable Splitter (Cutter) - G30
One of the most difficult categories of things to cut a lot of are round things. Think about it: Brussels sprouts, carrots, small potatoes, cherry tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers, kiwis, strawberries; the list goes on and on. They sit on the cutting board looking all innocent and fresh, but when you approach them with a knife, they are more likely to roll than stay quietly still waiting for your cut, putting both your fingers and the round object at risk. So while I am much more likely to pick up a Cool Tool than a knife when the Cool Tool does a better job, even Kennedy, the knife guy, will opt for a specialized Cool Tool when faced with a round thing that needs to be cut in even pieces. And have we got a Cool Tool for you…
The Flexicut Vegetable Splitter from Gefu (say that 10 times fast!) may be my favorite Cool Tool this year! A few companies have tried to tackle this problem, and we tested a number of candidates, but this one has the best features we’ve found:
-
It can cut your round things into quarters or eighths, with a simple with just the turn of a dial
-
The blades are wicked sharp, so it does the cutting with very little effort
-
There is an insert that holds smaller things in the center of the tube so you get better results
-
The insert also keeps your fingers away from the wicked sharp blades
-
There is a plunger that pushes your food against the blades (so your fingers don’t have to)
-
There is enough space under the blade for you cut fruit or vegetable to fall comfortably
-
It’s dishwasher safe
In short, since I got a sample of this to test, it has been in use almost every day. So do yourself and your fingers a favor, and cut round things with ease and in safety! This was a Global Innovation Award finalist and is the very essence of a Cool Tool.
