A new kitchen tool passed through our offices a couple of weeks ago, and it proved to be so clever and useful that we thought it worthy of showing off to our readers. The Scoop N Grind is a chopping device that takes the headache out of chopping up onions, garlic, nuts, herbs and just about anything else.

Looking like a cousin of the ice cream scoop, the Scoop N Grind has a small compartment that allows you to scoop (get it?) up whatever items you need to chop. Then you simply press a button and a powerful micro motor and blades go to work. We loved it most for chopping onions and garlic because it saves your hands from being smelly when the job is done. As the matter of fact, if you have a garlic peeler, you don't even have to touch the clove at all!

So did we put the Scoop N Grind through any other paces? You bet - and here's what we found: 

• The break room barista gave the gadget two thumbs up as a coffee grinder.
• Our resident organic zealot said it is off the chart for chopping herbs.
• The in-house soda jerk was raving about how it chopped nuts for ice cream toppings.
• Our staff mommies used it to grind up fruits and veggies, and the munchkins loved it.

Even though you are not going to be able to grind and chop large quantities with the Scoop N Grind, it is perfect for those kitchen jobs where it just doesn't make sense to pull out the giant food processor. And, since it is dishwasher-safe, clean up is super simple. So for $19.99 (plus  shipping/handling), we think it is a great buy and a definite must-have for your kitchen.
