Kitchen Monster Pizza Cutter

I hated the pizza cutter I already had. So I was excited that Kitchen Monster sent me this one to try in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 

It has a great diameter which makes for easy cutting. The handle fit perfectly and comfortable in my hand. It feels substantial and quality made. The rubberized texture of the handle makes for slip proof grip. The blade guard acts as a perfect place to place your finger for slicing right through a tough crust. It sliced through my pizza easily and without any effort. I love the red color and it goes great in my kitchen. It is dishwasher safe and cleaned very easily. The only issue I ran into was after I used it once and washed it in the dishwasher some metal shavings came off of the blade. I think its because the blade was so thin and sharp. I just ran a washcloth over it and it took care of it. Overall I like this pizza cutter and I've gotten rid of my old one. I give it 4.5/5 stars. 

If you are in the market for a new pizza cutter I recommend this one. I've linked to it on Amazon below. If you order it please let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Apple Honey Chicken




Chicken

Bone in skin on chicken 
Salt/Pepper to taste

1) Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 

2) Place chicken on a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with tin foil.

3) Season Chicken with salt and pepper.

4) Bake for 30 minutes, flip chicken and continue baking until crispy. 
(about 30 more minutes) 

Note: because of the high temperature it may start to smoke. The chicken wont burn but any drippings may. I opened my windows and turned on my exhaust fan. 

Sauce

2 cups apple juice
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
4 teaspoons honey
grated zest of one lemon
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ketchup
1 teaspoon BBQ sauce
3 teaspoons brown sugar

1) put all ingredients into a sauce pan and bring to a boil on medium high heat.  Stirring occasionally.

2) Keep at a high simmer until syrupy and it coats back of spoon. (this takes about 20 minutes)

Note: it took me a while to get the sauce to thicken. You can add more honey or brown sugar if it isn't thickening after 20 minutes. Also if you like it spicier you could add more red pepper flakes to taste. 

Putting it all together

1) Place chicken on your plate and drizzle with sauce. 

2) Enjoy!!
