Lettuce the Easy Way
Make Cutting up Lettuce Way Easier with a Lettuce Knife
Oxo Good Grips Lettuce Knife
Amazon Price: (as of 06/02/2012)
OXO makes excellent kitchen products, and this lettuce knife is no exception. Unlike stainless steel knives which can turn lettuce brown, this 15" sturdy nylon knife will hedge through and core lettuce with no problem. The sharp teeth cut veggies great but keep your hands from getting cut. Many users also say it's a great way to cut through on nonstick pans (so you won't cut up the nonstick surface!).
