This Totally Bamboo Pizza Cutter and Artisan Pizza Board will make you feel like a ninja when you cut your pizza in smooth motions across a beautiful board that makes frozen pizzas look fancy. The bamboo is beautiful and smells wonderful, making it a pleasant experience. The pizza cutter is non-traditional and doesn't drag off your cheese and toppings.
It's pretty common for me to eat pizza on a weekly basis. I'll admit I usually go for frozen pizzas for convenience, though this Totally Bamboo set might inspire me to try making a homemade pizza. This pizza cutter and artisan pizza board upped my standards for home pizzas because of the simple, elegant design. It looks great sitting on my counter.
When I used to make frozen pizzas, I was a little bit of a barbarian. I would just place the pizza on the cardboard box when it was done, then use your typical rotating pizza cutter to effectively mangle all of the cheese and sweep some of the ingredients away in the process of cutting the pizza. I will admit to all of this! You live and you learn. The first time I tried using this artisan board and pizza cutter, everything changed. Now I will only be classy about pizza. It looks a million times more appetizing sitting on the pizza board, I promise you. The board has a cute handle so you can hang it somewhere for easy storage, or just maneuver your pizza away from your pets and family members with ease. (Hey, they have to wait until it cools.)
The Totally Bamboo pizza cutter looks a little bit like a ninja weapon. It's a long wooden paddle with a short (and sharp) blade along one side. It's curved so you just need to rock it against the pizza on the artisan board to slice across your pizza in one motion. For some reason I thought it would take a lot of strength and sliced down onto my pizza as fast and hard as I could with the cutter. While this did slice my pizza and made other people laugh, I learned that the blade is sharp enough that you don't need a lot of force -- not even as much force as traditional pizza cutters. Unlike the rotating pizza cutters of yesteryear, this one didn't mangle the cheese or ingredients. This means there was not a mostly-cheeseless slice left behind due to lack of toppings. We ate all the slices.
I think this set would be a great gift for any pizza lover -- it definitely makes it a lot more fun to eat pizza at home. Americans eat a lot of pizza, so it's worth having a really nice pizza board and cutter like these in your kitchen.
