![]() When it’s time to clean it, the bowl, the blades, and the storage lid can all go right into the top rack of your dishwasher! The VeggiChop has four main parts: the bowl, the blades, a storage lid, and the lid with the pull cord and handle. I have more that enough complex gadgets at home already, so it’s nice to have one that couldn’t be easier to use! All I have to do is put the food in the chopper cup, put the lid on, and pull the cord a few times! There’s no plug and no battery compartment, just a handle attached to a pull cord!īut don’t let the “hand-powered” label fool you-this little chopper packs a serious punch! The blades whip around with more than enough force to chop up hard things like big chunks of veggies, nuts, and even ice! One notable feature that sets this chopper apart from other small food processors is that this one is hand-powered. Since I got this handy new gadget a couple of weeks ago, I’ve found myself using almost daily for some task or another! Here are just a few of the reasons why I’m over the moon about this little guy: 5 Reasons Why I Love This Food Chopper ![]() ![]() It makes short work of chopping onions or garlic, and you can even use it make guacamole in record time! Meet my new best friend in the kitchen, the Chef’n VeggiChop hand-powered food chopper. My New Favorite Kitchen Gadget: Chef’n VeggiChop Food Chopper Little did I know it would soon become my new favorite kitchen gadget! :-) She spoke so highly of it that I ordered one for myself. And that’s exactly what I did when our photographer Kaitlyn told us about the new food chopper she was using at home! So when I come across something that seems like it could save me some time or effort, I’m more than willing to give it a try. Because let’s face it, there’s barely enough time in the day to get it all done to begin with! We suggest a separate tool for chopping nuts.I’m all about simplifying the work of homemaking wherever and whenever I can. The nuts kept getting stuck in the blade. The results of chopped nuts are inconclusive because not one chopper chopped the nuts well or uniformly.To ensure the choppers have sufficient space for blades to rotate and function, we chopped carrots into two thick pieces while the beans were cut into eight halves. The onions and tomatoes were peeled and cut into four large chunks before adding to the chopper.The efficiency was tested with veggies like carrots and beans and even some nuts. Day three was the day of durability testing where the choppers were put to test in kitchens of a regular Indian home where three meals are cooked everyday and a lot of chopping is required.To check for all the set parameters our reviewers chopped and diced a total of over 5 kgs of vegetables to come to the final winner. Day one was testing the choppers with diced onions and for day two, we used tomatoes.We chose some soft veggies, some hard ones, and nuts. The testing processes were fairly simple. ![]() For a fair, unbiased verdict, we reviewed the six contenders for over 15 days, at both, the Mishry HQ, and our personal kitchens.We did not consider choppers with more than 3 blades/higher capacity. These choppers are meant for a small family. How did we pick brands? We chose brands with a capacity between 300-500 ml and are easily available online and offline. Ĭan’t do with manual? Check these electric vegetable choppers. While the final, and most crucial, parameter was how well the choppers cut and diced, and if they are easy to use, at the end if you had two products with exactly same parameters and results, you would buy the one that looked visually more pleasing. Such products were ranked low by us.Īttachments – Does the chopper come with additional attachments – if yes, do they add value? In a vegetable chopper, an additional lid that fits well can be a handy accessory that helps you store leftovers.ĭesign and look – Pleasing colors and design always make a difference. A constant noise that would indicate a design or alignment issue. We mean noise that emanates from the pulling action. And by noise we mean not the natural sounds of blades cutting chunks of onion, tomatoes, ginger or garlic. Noise – Vegetable choppers are small handy devices, but some of them can be noisy. The price, capacity, construction, and material were other factors that we took into account. Are peeling and large chunks the only two steps to be followed before adding veggies to the chopper container?.
