A few years ago when I was at a flea market, I spotted a nut chopper that I remember my mom having when I was a child. My mom would mostly use it when she made holiday cookies. She would place walnuts in a shallow bowl and chop away with this tool. I purchased this only because it reminded me of my mom and when I was young. The plan was just to display it on my kitchen island with some other vintage kitchen items. Gradually, I began to use the tool to chop my nuts instead of my electric chopper. For such a small, simply-designed item it works wonderfully. It is very comfortable in my hand as I chop my nuts.
One day, I was making guacamole and I had to chop up the avocado in the bowl. I started to reach for a fork when I glanced at my kitchen island and saw the hand chopper. "Why not give this a try?", I thought. I am so happy that I did; it works perfectly for mashing up avocados. I think I will try using it the next time I make banana bread!
