Chef’N Artichokester tool

I am a huge fan of artichokes. Whether it’s used in ourSlow-Cooker Spinach Artichoke DiporSpinach & Artichoke Salad with Parmesan Vinaigrette, I love the subtle sweetness this versatile veggie adds to any meal. Despite my affection for the vegetable, I’ve never tried to make them myself (I just opt for the frozen or canned kind). Cutting an artichoke always seemed too intimidating—at least until I discoveredChef’N’s Artichokester Tool.

This tool, which is cleverly shaped like an artichoke, is designed to make prepping the vegetable easy. The tool consists of two parts, the saw and the scraper. To use, simply place the artichoke stem into the center ring and then saw your way into the vegetable. The heart will easily twist out, leaving you with the whole head of leaves and the heart. Then, use the scraper to remove any of the hairy choke from the heart. And that’s it!

The great thing about this tool is that it’s made from stainless steel, so it is safe to use in the dishwasher. Plus, it comes with a lifetime warranty.
