I'm short and this is much easier than pulling out the step stool! I use my long kitchen tongs to reach things on the upper shelf! I’m short and this is much easier than pulling out the step stool!

We use cookie cutters to make sandwich shapes which makes lunch time easier and fun. Great idea for using it for the pull apart rolls. I will have to try this. I don’t reallt do anything unusual.

I use it to cut my son's sandwiches, pancakes, anything really. I also use it to cut my homemade egg noodles! It's a serious time saver! Definitely for more then pizza! Also, I have an oil spritzer from the Pampered chef that I put melted butter in for spraying on popcorn, that way you get a more even coat. I love my pizza cutter!

It was clean but I didn't want to use it for food... so I use it just for stirring paint. Works much better than those sticks I have a whisk with a super long handle (for soup kitchen style cooking) that I got at a yard sale.

Then wash out and save and I can later repurpose them for other crafty things. Note, if you have a pop top can, open the bottom with the Pampered Chef can opener, or other safety type can opener, then you can decorate it, fill it with goodies and glue the bottom back on with a good glue like Crystal Effects, and give it as a gift. Kids especially get a kick out of this great repurposing idea. With the safety edges you can decorate other cans and make pencil holders, etc for organization. ceashark at aol dot com This may not count, but I use a Pampered Chef can opener for all my cans.
