That must be me. I use mine about once a year, for what I don't
recall. Between my knives and my immersion blender, I can't imagine
what it's good for. No, wait ...I did use it to great success to
chop some meat. My garage sale meat grinder just doesn't have the
umph, so I did the Alton Brown partially frozen meat method for some
chuck/sirloin burgers. Worked surprisingly well. Oh, and I can't
forget my asparagus butter sauce for salmon. OK, twice a year.
