The Pampered Chef Cutting Edge Food Chopper

Product Information

It's a simple design that has less problems because there are no electrical components to be concerned with. It's small and easy to store.

Do you frequently cook with hard nuts, like macadamia or almonds? If so, make sure you select a strong grinder that can stand up to these nuts. Looking at the capacity of the food choppers featured on our list, you can see how varied the capacity can be, ranging from a couple of garlic cloves to 10 cups of food. Consider how many people you're cooking for regularly (single person vs. a big family), as well as what kind of food you'll most likely be chopping to decide which size is right for you. Some food choppers keep all the chopped food in a container, so there is no spillage or mess to clean up. If you love juicy ripe tomatoes in your salad but hate the clean-up, a food chopper could be the device for you. Things to consider when buying a food chopperIt's a simple product that doesn't have any electrical pieces to break which is a huge positive. My one concern is the dulling of the blade over time, but I've used mine for a couple of years and it's still very effective.

You won't break your budget with this manual food chopper. While it may be one of the cheapest on the market, it still has a sizable capacity. In other words, cutting down on the price doesn't mean cutting down on how much you can chop at a time. It also has other features similar to more expensive options, like an anti-skid ring on the bottom of the bowl to hold the whole thing in place while you pull the string to chop. The more times you pull, the finer the chop will be, so you can always adjust based on what your recipe calls for.If I do a lot of chopping with a hard food, like nuts or frozen cranberries, then the palm of my hand gets sore and tired from patting the top of the chopper. The top of the stem is a smaller diameter than some chopper brands, which I think makes it less comfortable for big jobs. Like many KitchenAid appliances, this unit comes in a variety of colors to match the kitchen or add a pop of color. Place the Food Chopper directly over portioned food on a cutting board or in the cap. It may be necessary to divide the food into smaller portions before chopping; i.e. cut an onion into quarters.
