Overview
Home cooks who prep salsa, dips or chopped nuts in small batches get a manual chopper that runs on a pull cord instead of a motor. Each pull spins stainless blades inside a locking container on a nonslip base.
Chopping without power and without a knife makes quick work of onions, herbs and nuts, and you decide when the texture is right by when you stop pulling. Small capacity limits it to a few ingredients at a time.
Who it's for
Small kitchens and apartment counters where a motorized processor takes too much room. Meal preppers working with large quantities will find themselves emptying it often.
Pros and cons
- No electricity needed
- Locking lid during use
- Nonslip base on the counter
- Most parts dishwasher safe
- Pull cord lid is hand wash only
- Small batches only
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Fineness depends on how many times you pull the cord, since each pull spins the blades for a short burst. Ingredients chop more evenly when the bowl is not overfilled, because pieces need room to fall back into the blade path. The nonslip base holds the bowl still while you pull.
