Fox Run Lettuce Knife

Between salads and tacos, my family goes through a fair amount of lettuce. Although it is not as healthy as many of the other varieties, we prefer iceberg lettuce. After washing the head of lettuce and removing the outside leaves, I like to use a lettuce knife to cut out the core and surrounding area. Using a plastic lettuce knife instead of a metal knife helps prevent the lettuce from browning, keeping it fresher longer. Depending on what we're doing with the lettuce, sometimes the leaves can simply be torn apart. However, if we're using lettuce for tacos, I like to cut it in skinny strips. Again, I like to use the lettuce knife for this. I had a previous lettuce knife which I ordered from a catalog, but it broke in two after a few years. I ordered this Fox Run lettuce knife as a replacement. I was surprised when it arrived to discover how flimsy it was (almost like a dollar store item), especially for the price. So far, it has done its job, but I have been very careful with it. I really do not expect it to hold up long. So I do recommend the use of a lettuce knife should you wish to cut your lettuce, but I would suggest finding something more durable than this one.

Update June 2013: Lettuce knife broke a few weeks ago, even though I was always very careful while using it. I definitely would NOT recommend.

Perfect for making quick work on lettuce for a salad. While a metal knife will cause the lettuce to turn brown, this nifty little knife works like a charm and no browning.
