Does it work? that's the premise of this website, which has reviews of all the "as seen on tv" gizmos that you know are crap, but ya just hafta buy anyways...like the Perfect Pancake - dunno why, but i've wanted one ever since i saw the commercial the first 48,281 times...the thing sells for twenty bucks, but CVS had em on sale for $14.99 and i had a $15 gift card from 'em for transferring a prescription...so, since i didn't have any real financial investment in it, i decided to get it...have yet to try it, but the review doesn't give me much hope...a previous time i used another freebie gift card to get the quick chop, and i can say from my own personal experience that it's nothing like they show on tv and is totally worthless...figured it'd be great for chopping onions - so i tried it...first time, the onion got stuck in the blade. okay, so i'll cut the onion into quarters - still, it didn't chop very well, and that was after i'd cut it into small enough pieces to make it easy to chop - a few more cuts with the old-fashioned knife, and the damned thing woulda been chopped anyways!
