Chop Wizard

Product Information

Water Wizard as seen on TV is the handheld sprinkler that attaches to any garden hose. It's gentle on plants and waters evenly and thoroughly. As you're about to discover, there are a wide range of vegetable chopper styles out there. When shopping around to find the best new onion chopper for you, it's helpful to consider the following features of each unit: Capacity Too bad not one reviewer commented on how hard you have to push to force cutter onto a hard piece of onion. The nice part about this onion chopper is that you are in full control of how small your ingredients are getting chopped. Only want a rough cut? Just hit the plunger a couple times. Want to finely mince everything? Just keep on plunging until the vegetables are at your desired texture, no need to change any blades or settings. Features of the Fullstar Onion Chopper: This is another feature that significantly contributes to the Chop Wizard’s ergonomic design. Additional Features

At only ½ cup, the capacity of the Fullstar Vegetable Chopper is rather small, meaning you'll likely have to transfer your ingredients to a larger vessel as you work. The unit can be used directly on a cutting board, or you can attach the included bottom lid to the chopping base. However, the lid is not perfect in its seal, and therefore could be a bit messy for chopping soft vegetables such as tomatoes. Pros: Where these holes also function as blades, as in the case of cheese graters and the Vidalia Chop Wizard, this task is even more difficult because of the danger of touching the sharp edges. From the trusted Ninja line of kitchen tools comes one of the best onion choppers available! The Ninja Food Chopper Express Chop is a super-efficient electric onion chopper, bringing the lengthy process of chopping onions and other vegetables to its knees with the press of a button. Just press the easy to operate button to roughly chop your desired ingredients and keep pressing it to dice, mince, and even puree! The Ninja Food Chopper Express basically does the work of a small food processor, without the complexity of swapping blades, changing speeds, or alternating programs. Features of the Ninja Food Chopper Express Chop:The stainless steel construction of the blade ensures durability, corrosion-resistance, and easy cleaning (more on this later). The chopping base has a 4 cup capacity, meaning you can easily dice multiple onions before needing to empty the catch. This professional grade chopper comes with eight, you heard it EIGHT, different stainless steel chopping blades that perform the following cuts: small dice, large dice, standard slicer, fine slicer, garnish slicer, julienne, fine julienne, and grater. In addition to the chopper base with chopping lid, the set also comes with 2 blade storage holders, 1 lid cleaning tool, and 1 safety guard. Phew! The makers of the Vidalia Chop Wizard have, yet again, anticipated this problem and provided a solution in the form of a cleaning fork.

The top lid of the Vidalia Chop Wizard, which lifts up and comes down over the catch container (see below) on a set hinges, serves 2 very important purposes. Most of us here have, at some point, found ourselves painstakingly dicing onions while preparing a meal and thinking: ‘I wish there was an easier way to do this.’ Any excess juices can be easily drained away using a sieve, keeping your countertops perfectly clean. If you're a crier when it comes to chopping onions (hey, no shame!) this food chopper is a great option for you. Unlike most of the other best onion choppers out there, this unit stays completely sealed when in use, giving you some sweet relief from those burning onion vapors.

The container is made of transparent plastic, which allows the user to see how much chopped food has been collected at all times during the process. Even though all of the removable parts of the Ninja Food Chopper are dishwasher safe, the motor head is sensitive to water and therefore must be cleaned and handled with care. Pros: Wouldn’t exerting force onto the lid of the device potentially cause it to skid across the countertop? Couldn’t that result in even more mess and stress than the traditional method? This vegetable chopper has a 2 cup capacity and a non-slip bottom that holds fast to counter tops or any work surface. The Swiss Pull Chop manages to convert the power of each pull into chopping action efficiently, meaning you get more cutting done than other types of manual choppers.

The downside to such a versatile vegetable chopper is that it takes up a lot of counter or cabinet space. The blades and storage holders unfortunately do not fit inside the Mueller Austria Onion Chopper base during storage. In addition, the chopping lid is a bit bulky and there is no separate lid included, which would be very handy for storing chopped ingredients in the refrigerator. Pros: Unlike most manual choppers, this unit is not entirely dishwasher safe as the pull cord must be handled with care. The chopping base and blade can be placed in the dishwasher, however the lid should only be wiped clean, and care must be taken not to get any moisture into the housing of the cord as this will cause it to deteriorate. Pros:The motorization factor means that electric choppers can move their stainless steel blades at a higher speed than manual options, resulting in more output and higher efficiency. But often these machines are larger, more costly, and require more effort to clean and maintain than their simple manual counterparts. Choosing the Best Onion Chopper: The Takeaway If your goal is to chop many different ingredients in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, then the Mueller Austria Onion Chopper is most certainly for you. This unit takes the cake as the best onion slicer and it can also easily dice fruits, slice vegetables, grate cheese, and so much more! The Mueller Austria Pro is a manual vegetable chopper that truly can take on the workload of a large capacity food processor. Features of the Mueller Austria Pro Series Onion Chopper: Aside from facilitating the chopping process itself, though, there’s another huge benefit to the way this lid is constructed that will revolutionize the way you chop and dice in the kitchen - particularly when it comes to onions. However, one reported issue with this blade is that there have been instances of parts of it popping out of place or breaking off. Hinged Top Lid These types of food choppers are typically more compact, budget-friendly, and easier to clean than electric choppers. However, as you might expect, they do require some effort on your part to chop food. Therefore, they may not be ideal for extra-heavy food preparation needs or for certain mobility issues. Electric Onion Choppers

Between making sure all the pieces are evenly sized and keeping fingers away from sharp blades, chopping and dicing is arguably one of the most stressful basic processes in cooking. This electric chopper has a 3.5 cup capacity, but it's important to note that you cannot fill this unit to capacity with liquids as it will cause an overflow. Also, the plastic container is more prone to scratches than some other models, so take care when cleaning the unit and avoid any scrubbing pads that may cause scuffing. Pros:Positioned underneath the blade, the catch container, as its name suggests, catches and collects the chopped food as it falls through the grate holes of the blade. This system allows all the potentially messy foodstuff to accumulate neatly in one place. Our only concern regarding this utensil is durability. Many customer testimonials report breakages, which is not ideal considering the fact that this is a tool designed to make life easier in the kitchen, not more stressful. I love experiencing new cultures through foods and it shows in my travels. When I'm at home I try cooking healthy but love blending dishes I've learned with fresh local ingredients.
