Shoers Product Review: Presto Salad Shooter

Do you like slaw with yur slabs? Tired of grinding hide off yur knuckles slidin cabbage back & forth over a shredding mandolin? Just plain too lazy to defoliate yur fingertips on a grating bell?

Introducing the Presto Salad Shooter. It slices & shreds but does not dice or do julienne fries. $21 at yur friendly local WalMart. I personally field-tested my new model this evening and it shredded green & red cabbage, and carrots with ease. It sliced cucumbers just as well. It is very easily disassembled for cleaning and is the state-of-the-art in operating simplicity. If there would be one drawback it would be the small quantity it is capable of processing. The feed hopper is 2X2" so you must cut yur produce accordingly small and work with small amounts at one time. If you are not in the commercial slaw business and just an occasional maker of slaw on a family/friends scale it is
perfectly suited. I would not recommend it, however, to make slaw for the national convention of the NRA. Or the Daughters of the American Revolution for that matter.

I have already been bombarded with people asking if this unit does indeed "shoot" salad. The answer is a resounding NO. You can't spray a passing cat with a short burst. Won't be of use chasing off burglers. It is more of a salad dribbler but hey, the punk does the job.:)

YES its AS SEEN ON TV
YES its made by RONCO
NO you dont get any steak knives for buyin one.

Any food shot at my cats is et. They are especially fond of broccolli and squash.
Thanks for the review, I always figure if it takes longer to clean than I would cutting not worth it, but hey I was married to a chef....
I still want one. My hands have enough scars.

You want a food processor or a chef? :D

That has to be the tastiest looking bowl of slaw I have ever seen Jeff. Damn you! Now I have a hankerin' for some BBQ and slaw. :D

BTW: Tried the BBQ cabbage yet?

My wife and I tried this cabbage recipe on Sunday and it was pretty good. We cheated and used some smoked beef sausage that we had already. The recipe lends itself to individual taste additions like garlic, red bell peppers, carrots, potatoes, etc.

YES!:D

biggest problem I have had with my shooter is storage and keeping up with the diffeent parts - a good unit but I lose stuff in the black hole cabinet or kitchen drawer - I have been told these black holes exist in every home not just mine - I never knew

I am still looking for a matching sock too dammit!!!!!!!!!

me thinks he bought it just to make us some slaw for the bash cook-out???looks mitey tasty!

The electric part is nice but putting the stuff in a little at a time must be a pain. I got a device just for slaw and it will hold about 1/2 head at a time. A couple of times around with the crank and "Ta-Da", done.
I don't do the dishes, but the professor says it cleans up real easy:D

Brian thanks, and no not yet. I have the old-fashioned-actually-put-charcoal-in-it grill and can't bring myself to spend the afternoon adding bricquets a few at a time to keep it stoked for a long time but not so hot the cabbage resembles a meteorite when I'm done. The good news is the blue ribbon cabbage earmarked for it is in very good shape in the fridge waiting its call to duty. The recipe on the post today also looks good!!

Fishdoc, yethinks right if that would work into the scheme of things.

CarpKing I have one gray & one white Haines Crew socks with no partners,
if its one of them holler and I'll slap a mailing label & stamps on it and drop it in the box.

SH, after a couple turns of the handle who gets to say Ta Da, you or the good Dr.??

Buffy, Boudreaux sends his love.:D

Now that is a close up! Thanks Boudreaux

You aint missin a pair of lavender panties with a Tuesday logo on em, are ya?
I've had em for well over 20 yrs and don't have a clue where they came from.
Been a thorn in my ol' ladys side ever since we met. I won't give em up though, I keep thinkin one day it will be like Snow White showing up and the
glass slippers fitting. Or was that Humpty Dumpty? Anyway, they're in good shape and all I ever do with em other than look at em and yearn for my princess in shining armor is wear em on Tuesdays once in a while.

No, but if you EVER find a pair of Pac-man undies let me know.........
HEY I got a JOB!! How's that for random?

Thats good. I despise a lazy wench. What flavor of job if you dont mind telling?

I know ya been lookin so glad you found something, seriously. If ya think of it when you talk to Mary tell her a cpl wks ago when Erik "Day-Glo Kid" Reedy & I went fishin at L Pocahontas a bunch of the kids from the camp were at the dam with the chapperone and I asked if the horses were there yet and they were all excited, naming them by name, and carryin on about em. Erik & I were in stitches, some of these kids musta asked 89 times apiece in an hrs time "didya catch one yet? How bout now catch any yet, how many ya catch so far, can I see one, huh? huh? didya didya catch one? Huh? well didya????" The counselor was either a super-mellow cat or hated kids, or both. There were 6 yr olds 40 ft up in the upper reaches of trees. Kids riverdancing atop the dam 40 ft above a rock creekbed. Kids scaling sheer concrete walls. Ya seen em in the woods, looked like a bunch of mini-Tarzans swingin thru the trees.:eek: I'm freakin out inside knowing full-well there aint no such kind of backwoods search & rescue team equipped or experienced to get these punks outta the predicaments they're in. I took Erik right to the edge of the spillway to look at the depth of the fall on the otherside and about that time a 5 yr olds head appears right where the water is breaking to fall over. He has scaled the damn dam thru a waterfall. "Hi" he says and disappears back down.:eek: Erik & I trade WTH looks and decide we better fish somewhere else or we gonna be part of the witnesses filling out police reports about the "incident" soon.:D
Gotta go console my dog. He's pretty tore up about Lady Birds passing for some reason. Have a fairly good one.

That any of us ever grow up. I decided when I was 10 that I wanted to be a steeplechase jockey, so me and my pony (10 hand welsh shetland cross and MEAN) had a great pratice course, including the concreate benches in our front yard. Fishing in another area was the right way to go. All that testifying is such a drag....
My job will be in the copy department at Hunton & Williams, I am going to have to sneak down to the river on my lunch hour, the deprtment looks right down on Browns Island:D
Poor Boudreaux. My cats are in the same state:eek:

please forget about the socks I could never live up to your sense of fashion
