This set of kitchen tools takes the hassle right out of slicing and chopping. Joie Shop's French Fry Cutter and Garlic Chopper are two cooking utensils every cook should have handy. Since I am prone to letting my knife accidentally slip sometimes, I couldn't wait to give these tools a try. The fry cutter, for example, has an easy-to-grip holder that is placed on the potato so the chance of slicing your fingers is minimal. Similarly, the garlic chopper cuts garlic with just a twist of your hand.

After years of chopping potatoes into uneven slices to try to create homemade fries, I couldn't believe how easy this tool was to use. In just minutes, I turned a potato into evenly cut French fries ready for the oven or fryer. Simply slide the potato in one direction over the blades and viola! The French fry cutter makes fries out of sweet potatoes or russet potatoes in a flash.

As for the garlic chopper, it only has two simple instructions: place peeled garlic cloves in base, close the lid and twist to chop. I love this tool because you can choose how fine you want to chop simply by twisting more. Every cook knows how annoying chopping garlic can be, and how time consuming! With this chopper, you can go from full clove to finely chopped garlic in seconds with completely clean hands. What's even better, it can be used for nuts, herbs, fruits, vegetables and more! I'd love to use this for chopping fresh herbs from the garden.

Both of these kitchen tools come in fun colors and couldn't be easier to use and clean. I'm a fan of anything that saves me time, especially when it comes to the tedious task of chopping. Not only did I save myself from washing my chopping board and knives, I was able to chop safely while keeping the pungent garlic smell off my fingers. Both these tools will be making a regular appearance in my kitchen from now on.
