I think two years of good service is adequate, so I simply ordered another. I washed and shook the slicer dry every day, but didn't realize that leaving it upright in my dish rack encouraged water to drip onto the spring. Other fruit get boring after less than a week, even mango. I don't know why but I never get tired of bananas in my oats. I received one as a gift about two years ago and used it every day with my morning routine of coffee and steel-cut oats - always with bananas unless I forget to buy more. For those who slice one banana every so often, don't bake or use a dehydrator or have no one to converse with, then this would be a frivolous purchase. For others, it's a great conversation piece and nifty tool. Of course, use caution when cleaning and do not leave this tool around children as they can put their fingers in the chamber and get hurt when squeezing the handles-but this is just common sense for any kitchen tool.įor a person who uses a dehydrator or just wants presentable banana slices, this is a must have. Uniform banana slices on jello, cereal, or desserts make for great presentation when serving food.Ĭleaning is easy as long as you use a brush otherwise it can be difficult to clean the blades thoroughly. If you use a dehydrator to dehydrate your own fruits, this slicer makes sure all the banana pieces are even so that they dry at the same time. A medimum-size banana can be sliced in four passes through the gadget. Now I'm not laughing any longer, because: My colleague and I laughed when we found a link to this banana slicer on Amazon and asked each other "How hard can be it to slice a banana?" Well, about one week later I came across this exact slicer in a kitchen gadget store and knew I had to order it. If you slice bananas with any regularity, and/or if you care about producing perfect uniform slices, either for aesthetics of presentation, or consistency of cooking and drying, the Chef'n is a must have. But in spite of all these reasons not to need or want this little gadget, I am very pleased to have it, and perfectly willing to find a place to put it. I also have more kitchen gadgets than I have room to store. I like to think I am reasonably skilled in their correct use. I have a good collection of quality kitchen knives, of all types and designs. The (inevitable) problem of the irregular end pieces was more than offset by the uniformity of the other pieces, and the ease and speed of use. Operation of the Chef'n was quick and easy, and I was able to dispatch an entire hand of bananas in record time. This was due to the curved shape of the fruit, a problem that the Fox Run tried, and failed, to address. The slices were uniform except for the end pieces. This obstacle out of the way, I set out to slice some firm ripe bananas I had on hand. However, I ran it through the dishwasher prior to using it in anger, and for reasons unknown, that seemed to clear whatever was causing it to bind. ![]() Fortunately, there was no such "slip up" with the a-peeling Chef'n Bananza.Īt first I was afraid the Chef'n had a problem, in that when I took it out of the package it had a tendency to stick in the closed position. The Fox Run product was a big disappointment, and you can read the details of why in my review of that item. I selected two items to try, the Chef'n Bananza, featured here, and the Fox Run 4069 Banana Slicer. I was looking for a way to quickly and uniformly slice bananas in quantity for the purpose of making dehydrated banana chips.
