How to Use a Food Chopper?

A food chopper is a small countertop appliance that helps you chop, mince and blend ingredients for cooking. Compared to using a knife, this device cuts prep time and reduces the risk of kitchen accidents.

Manual food choppers are easy to use and can be used for small batches. Simply place vegetables or fruits on the chopper and push or pull the handle to force the ingredient through the blades.

They work best for chopping onions, carrots, celery, tomatoes and herbs. These compact units can also be used to puree and liquefy sauces, baby foods and more!

Depending on the model, a food chopper can process up to 4 cups of foods at a time. If you have a larger amount of food to prepare, consider investing in a larger processor with multiple blades that can also slice and shred.
