Great Time-Saving Tip for Halving Grape Tomatoes, Grapes, etc.
I made this recipe again and thought I’d share a really great time saving tip with you all. I saw this on an episode of 30-Minute Meals once, and before Rachael showed the tip (she got it from a friend of hers), she said that your jaw was going to drop when you saw how much time you’ll save. I figured she was exaggerating, but honestly – my jaw did drop!
I’ve used this method for grapes, small tomatoes (grape or cherry), and I’m sure it would work for other things as well. I’m going to post a visual step-by-step which I think is pretty self explanatory. You just save 2 of the tops from deli containers and use them to slice a bunch of items all at once. No more cutting one by one, letting them roll all over the counter!

My jaw dropped, too!! That’s amazing!!! 🙂 Ha ha. Soon, we’ll see an infomercial selling two pieces of plastic specifically designed to do this job…but I’ll always stick with your deli top method!

OH…THAT kind of container. When you told me on the phone, I had no idea what you were talking about! That’s pretty awesome! I laughed when I read Courtney’s comment about the infomercial…SO TRUE!!! LOL

I’m sure there are gadgets for it – but none as awesomely thrifty as this! It seriously saves so much time!
Thanks, Donna – the wedding rings are from my husband’s grandma, and the other is one I got recently to remember my grandpa. I’m pretty partial to ’em myself 😉
