Salad chopper and other kitchen gadgets



Recommended Posts

Just seen this on Amazon and thought it could be of use for people who are earlier out and having a difficult time tolerating lettuce. It looks kinda like a double pizza cutter with a big bowl but it is designed to chop salad down to much smaller pieces that would be easier on our tummies. Well it won’t let me copy the link but just search salad chopper. It’s called salad chopper blade and bowl. Actually there is another lettuce chopper that comes up too that’s only ten bucks that may be sufficient too and even salad scissors. Has anyone tried any of these? Or do you have any suggestions for favorite kitchen gadgets that make prepping healthier food easier??

One gadget i use everyday since i had surgery is the Nuwave Infrared oven. I cook everything in it (except eggs lol) Its quick too. I cook my chicken, fish, turkey in it. Just used it to cook some king salmon 20 minutes ago. Took only 4 minutes on each side. No oil no spraying.

I just searched it and watched the video for the new primo version. That looks pretty cool. I would have to get rid of my instapot so I would have somewhere to store it though. Still haven’t figured that one out. It supposedly makes really good tender meat too but I just haven’t played with it too much. Wonder if anyone has tried them both.

Works great for steamed veggies too. That’s all I have done so far.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
