Ever tried to slice a bagel and ended up with one thin piece and one fluffy doorstop? Or struggled to halve a bunch of cherry tomatoes one by one, wondering if there’s a faster way? Well, spoiler alert: there is. And it’s called the Pampered Chef Close & Cut.

This genius tool is your new shortcut to perfectly even cuts—safely, quickly, and with zero frustration.

Why I love it (and you will too):

• It holds foods like grapes, tomatoes, chicken breasts, bagels, and more in place while you slice—keeping fingers far away from the action.
• It’s designed to work with a long, straight-edge knife, making slicing multiple items at once a total breeze.
• The spring-loaded design gently grips food for even pressure and beautiful results (hello, chef-level precision!).
• No more slicing one tomato at a time—just line ’em up, close it, and boom—done.

Whether you’re meal prepping, making sandwiches, or slicing snacks for a crowd, the Close & Cut saves time and sanity. It’s one of those tools you’ll wonder how you ever lived without.
