**Contest Closed: Winner chosen is Laura, random.org number 13!

I am always looking for new and easy to  use products for the kitchen. I want to find new and inventive ways to save myself, and you, time in the kitchen. I was recently given the opportunity to review the Chop Keeper and wasn’t disappointed.

The Chop Keeper was invented by a mom. First plus. It is a raised side tray that allows you a large work surface without all the mess. Second plus. It is also flexible so it allows you to pour the contents into whatever you are making if you need it.

I recently used the Chop Keeper for several projects. The first was my Toddler French Toast Sticks that I cooked up the other day. I needed a place to cut the 30+ slices of bread (preferably near a window for better lit pictures). It worked great and saved me from cleaning up a bunch of crumbs when I was through. I simply cut the bread on the Chop Keeper on my kitchen table (near the window) and then transferred the tray to the counter by my stove for dipping and cooking. When I was through I simply dumped the crumbs from the tray to the garbage disposal and clean up was through.

I also used the Chop Keeper to rise dough on a bread project gone bust. (More on that soon). At any rate, I lightly floured it and set the dough to rise. When I was through I transferred the dough to a baking sheet with ease. And again, very little clean up. I love that!

We also just had the Tweet-Up this weekend which allowed me to review some products that I wasn’t able to in the past. It was a real eye opener and if those products are available through Amazon I have added them to the store.

You can get to the store by going to the menu bar and looking under “Extras”, click on “oamm store” that will take you right there!

I will also be trying to keep an eye on great kitchen deals now through the holidays to make you aware of items you may not want to pass up.

Enjoy!
