WFMW: Cutting Kids Food

Maybe I was just the last person to figure this out, but your standard, good ol' PIZZA CUTTER cuts more than pizza. We have 4 of these things in our house, and I use them to cut EVERYTHING. With kids, as many of you know, at mealtimes there is a lot of cutting to be done. This works great... just line up the food - chicken, green beans, bread... whatever - and roll away (I sound like a Bob Seger song).

Funny, even Wikipedia defines "pizza cutter" as a utensil that is used to cut pizzas. Touche. It cuts much, much more, at least in this house! Try it... you'll buy a dozen of them!

A special note: This is ESSENTIAL for cutting pancakes or waffles. I will hunt down the pizza cutter before I'll try to tear into these doughy creations with a knife...
I figured I'd put this in instead of another photo tip. Apparently none of you like taking pictures because I only got one lousy comment from last weeks tip.

I use a pizza cutter to cut brownies before they are totally cool. It doesn't crumble the warm brownies like a knife does. My husband and brothers-in-law can never wait for the brownies to cool all the way.

Love the pizza cutter! I was delighted the day I discovered it's great use, esp with toddlers in the house!

Hey - these are great for still-warm grilled cheese sandwiches, too!

Argh! Great idea! If only I had thought of this (or been told by some other, smarter person) about 127 pancakes ago! Ah, well, there is still the 1 yr old coming up the ranks. ;)
Thanks for the tip! :)

I do the same thing. I've considered giving pizza cutters at baby showers along with a note explaining why, but I haven't done it yet. :)

Well, last week people were bussy with thanksgiving.

I use the pizza cutter too for more, so we call it roler-cutter.
