My Cuisi replacement parts are finally here!

The sheath (the plastic thing that the blade sits on) came with instructions:

The instructions bel ow call for considerable physical strength and muscular control. If the pliers slip, you may be injured...

Included in the TOOLS REQUIRED were:
6" square of cardboard
One pair of pliers with rounded serrate jaws, designed to bite into and fit over round objects
One 8-10" long screwdriver
Petroleum Jelly

They didn't put it in the list, but a hammer and a block of wood was also needed to tap the sheath down into place. That sucker is really not supposed to come off--but I guess I am not the only person ever to have broken one.

We're back in business now, and we'll have new mayo this weekend!
