A Knife for Kids (Really)

This idea comes from New York chef Mark Bello, the amazing pizza maverick behind the in-home caterer Pizza a Casa. Mark sometimes offers his phenomenal pizza-making classes to kids as well as adults. When it's time to slice the Alleva salted mozzarella for his margarita pizzas, Mark gives the kids these Zyliss lettuce knives. Designed to prevent lettuce from browning where cut, the sturdy, serrated plastic knives are also a safe alternative to metal knives for slicing avocadoes, almost any cheese and even the bananas on Bello's signature caramelized banana, pine nut and Nutella dessert pizzas.
