Forkful #5: Reinventing the Wheel

We’re getting down to the wire for Christmas shopping, so here’s a simple yet super-useful one: a handheld pizza cutter. Until we got one of these, I had only ever seen the old-style pizza cutters with the wheel on one end and an angled handle. Usually the blade wheel wobbled all over the place, and you could never get good leverage to cut through a thick crust.

This little guy beats that old pizza cutter, hands down! The blade doesn’t wobble one bit, your hand is down right on top of the cutter so you get tons of great leverage and control, and the housing swivels open to let you take the blade out for cleaning.

For something as simple as a pizza cutter it wouldn’t seem like there’d be much difference, but believe me this one is well worth the investment, especially since it comes in around $10.
