Retort pouch foods such as curry and pasta sauce that can be easily eaten just by warming. Recently, there are a lot of side dishes such as salads, and the author who lives alone is often indebted. However, this pouch pack is a little difficult to handle because it scatters when opened by hand and cannot be squeezed out cleanly until the end ...?


The item introduced this time is Akira Sangyo's "Squeezed Cutter" (734 yen including tax). This is a multi-player kitchen goods that allows you to "cut", "squeeze", and even "grab" a pouch pack.

It is shaped like a tongs sandwiched between two sticks, and one end has a cutter that can be taken in and out with a lever. When the blade is about 5 mm wide, a caution sign will appear on the window, making it easy to understand and safe.


You can grab a hot retort pack with the blade out.


Next is opening. If you sandwich the bag and slide it sideways, it will cut straight. If there is a cut, cut it a little by hand in advance so that the start of cutting will go well. Since it can be cut without applying force, it can be used instead of scissors not only for pouches but also for opening bags.

To squeeze out the contents, hold the bag firmly in the center of the stick and slide it down. I used to use vegetable chopsticks all the time, but since one side is the fulcrum, it is easy to apply force.

Let's use it in pumpkin salad for easier understanding.


It's a salad with a pouch that I always found difficult to serve, but it came out so smoothly that even the staff who experienced it unintentionally shouted "It feels good!". The convex part on the inside of the stick pushes it out firmly, so you can use it without much effort. It seems to be useful for squeezing out a pouch-type seasoning liquid.

Some contents will adhere to the blade and the inside of the stick, but your hands will remain clean. "Squeezed cutter" eliminates the small frustration that occurs in the kitchen. It's convenient to have one!
