A Food Gadget Must-Have: The Grapefruit Knife

By Jennie

I'm eating a lot of grapefruit these days. Oh, January, and your delightful resolutions. When on earth will cupcakes be the key to skinny jeans? Anyway, grapefruits are one of my favorite fruits (right up there with blackberries and pears), so I've been buying them in bulk. 

And I could not eat a grapefruit without a grapefruit knife.

Seriously, if you like grapefruit, you need this thing. Especially at a time when you might be eating a few more than usual. And it's only $5.95! I need one for work and home at that price point.

(In fact, a grapefruit knife was briefly mentioned a couple years ago in this post!) 

What's YOUR must-have food gadget?

That is quite awesome. I have been partial to grapefruit spoons- spoons with pointy tops and knife like edges. However they don't work well if the sections are small.

Ahh, I'm getting one ASAP. Do you add anything to your grapefruit to make it less sour? My grandma was a BIG fan of a TON of sugar on hers, but that would defeat my purpose. Ahem.
