Overview
Chef'n designed the VeggiChop to chop by hand: ingredients go in the bowl, the lid twists and locks, and pulling the cord spins the stainless blades. A separate sealing lid turns the bowl into storage for what was just chopped.
Running without power is its strength, so it works in small kitchens, RVs and campsites where a processor cannot plug in. Capacity is the unknown, and the compact body points to small batches rather than family-size prep.
Who it's for
Small kitchens, RVs and camping trips are where it earns its place, chopping dips and herbs with no electricity. Cooks who prep for a crowd in one go will find the compact bowl limiting.
Pros and cons
- Works without electricity
- Pull cord spins stainless blades
- Sealing lid doubles as storage
- Handles nuts, herbs and ice
- Bowl capacity not listed
- Care instructions conflict within the listing
- Compact bowl limits batch size
Performance notes
Chop size is governed by how many times the cord is pulled: each pull spins the blades through the food, so a few pulls leave coarse pieces and more pulls work toward a paste. Hard items like nuts and ice need more pulls than soft herbs, and an overfilled bowl chops unevenly because food cannot circulate past the blades.

Frequently asked questions
How do I clean the pull-cord lid of the Chef'n VeggiChop?
The description clears the blades, bowl and storage lid for the dishwasher top rack but does not name the pull-cord lid, and one spec field says hand wash only, so wash that lid by hand.
Can the Chef'n VeggiChop make hummus or pesto?
Yes. Chef'n lists pesto, hummus, salsa and guacamole among its uses.
How much does the Chef'n VeggiChop bowl hold?
The listing does not give a capacity, only the outer size of the chopper.
Is the Chef'n VeggiChop a food processor?
No. It is a hand-powered chopper with no motor; pulling the cord spins the blades, so the work happens in small batches by hand.
