Exposing the Fakes!
over 6 years ago – Mon, Sep 04, 2017 at 11:53:20 PM

Happy Labor Day! We’ve been getting many questions about the fake 60 Second Salads that started to appear online after we became successful here on Kickstarter. We figured that we'd buy some of them to test out and then share the results with you. Bottom line, it doesn’t appear that there was much thought or energy that went into their designs. They are rushed out pieces of junk – made as quickly and cheaply as possible. We doubt these knockoff artists even made a single salad in their devices!

In contrast, we spent months thinking out and designing every aspect of 60 Second Salad to give you the best and easiest salad making experience. We made multiple prototypes and tested them multiple times. We worked through all the details to ensure everything works perfectly for you.

Check out the video and chart below to see the differences for yourself!

 

 

Factory Samples Coming Soon!
over 6 years ago – Tue, Aug 01, 2017 at 12:42:19 AM

Hey Backers, our factory samples are scheduled to ship to us this week and we've been told they look good!  Even so, it’s important we see them in person and test them by making some salads. Upon our approval, full production commences and should be complete in 4-5 weeks.  We will post photos of our factory samples upon arrival.  

We realize a vast amount of our backers are new to Kickstarter and have not been receiving or checking our production updates. To hopefully help relieve this frustration of some people feeling left out of the loop, we will also be posting this, and future updates in the comment section. If you are not receiving emails when we post an update, please contact Kickstarter support and they will work to resolve any issues. Also, please make sure to check your spam and advertising folders and “whitelist” emails from Kickstarter.

Also, we still need 1271 backers shipping information. If you have not yet completed your “survey”, please do so now at https://60-second-salad.backerkit.com.

We will let you know as soon as the samples arrive.  Have a great week!

Production Update & Request for Surveys
over 6 years ago – Wed, Jul 12, 2017 at 11:03:41 PM

Hello Backers, we hope your summer is going great!

Before we get started on the update, we’d like to remind those who have not yet completed their rewards survey to do so right away. While about 90% of you have completed it, we need to get this to 100% so we can get our shipping file in order. If you have moved, please remember to update your address.

The link for completing, viewing and updating your surveys is: https://60-second-salad.backerkit.com

Production Update

Tooling for 60 Second Salad is moving along nicely. In the pictures below, you can see both the top and bottom mold cavities for the cutting board base. Notice how the top mold cavity is slightly larger, fitting above the cavity on the bottom. BPA-free plastic is then injected between the two mold cavities to form the cutting board.

The molds will be polished to ensure your salad makers have nice, smooth finish. From there, our factory will perform a manufacturing test run and ship us samples for testing & approval. Then we go into full production. At this point, we are about 2 months away from delivery.

Thanks again for your patience and support!

Steel, Sparks and Water!

Happy 4th of July Weekend, Backers!

We just received some interesting action photos of our steel molds being made and wanted to share them with you. 60 Second Salad is coming to life!

 

 

 

Enjoy the holiday festivities!

Production Update and SkinnyPlate!
almost 7 years ago – Thu, Jun 15, 2017 at 12:18:01 AM

Hey Backers...Our factory completed DFM for our tooling (showing watergate and ejector pin locations), which we confirmed to move forward. They are rushing us into production with a high quality, polished steel mold guaranteed to produce at least 300,000 units. An aluminum mold would be cheaper, but would not guarantee us consistent, high-quality results over the course of our first production run.

The outside of your 60 Second Salad will have a nice glossy finish. The top of the cutting board surface will be matte to make cut marks less noticeable. We also added our logo to both parts in addition to a “FILL LINE” inside the slicer that coincides with instructions. More 60 Second Salad updates soon to come...

On to other news... there’s a brand new project on Kickstarter called SkinnyPlate! It’s a simple product that helps people lose weight by eating healthier portions. The inventor of SkinnyPlate, Mike Caron, got in touch with us after seeing 60 Second Salad and hired us to help setup and promote his project- so here it is!

Bon appetit!
