Product Information

Manual Vegetable Choppers: A manual vegetable chopper requires you to manually rotate the cutting wheel, so it takes a bit more time and effort to use. That said, the process is still much easier than chopping with a knife, while you usually get a nice range of cutting attachments. It is also the cheaper of the two types. The cheapest chopper on our list is the no-fuss, no-frills manual vegetable chopper from the OXO Good Grips range. When you’re a busy parent, anything that saves you time is worth looking into. And when it comes to saving time in the kitchen, a vegetable chopper is one of the best things you can buy. Extra features - If you want your food chopper to do more than just chop your vegetables up then you might want to choose one that has dripper holes in the top for pouring oil in to make sauces, or one that comes with pots and lids to store your food once it’s prepped. It’s a compact and powerful little machine that comes with two speeds so that you’ve got more control over the chopping process.

Easy to clean and durable.” (Recommended by Mumsnet user Uncomfortablydumb53) Manual or Electric: Manual and electric vegetable choppers are available, each offering its own benefits. Manual choppers are cheaper and often come with a better variety for cutting heads, while electronic choppers are more efficient but also costlier and likely to have fewer cutting attachments. Obviously, the blade is the main part of any vegetable chopper and when the chopper is supplied the blade will be extremely sharp. Over time the edge will dull and you will find the vegetables are less well chopped than they originally were. They should last a relatively long time but if you notice the blade isn’t as sharp as it should be, it’s probably time to replace it. Many companies offer replacement parts. It might work out financially better to replace a part rather than buy a whole new appliance. Capacity Functions: easy to use buttons, dials and knobs that make using the mini chopper a breezer were preferredManual choppers take a bit more effort to work but still get great results. You can get simple models that just cut everything to a uniform size, or models that work more like the electric food processor style models that chop to whatever size you like. Variable settings - Some choppers have different settings that let you control the speed of the blades. This is really useful if you want to use it for more than just cutting up your veg. Think about how much control you need to have over the process and choose a model that gives you what you need. I use a Zyliss chopper. It's excellent for chopping veg for soups, etc.” (Vetted by Mumsnet user NanTheWiser) It comes with a set of two stainless steel blades that you can use for chopping both coarsely and finely, as well as puréeing and liquidising.
