We had a smaller food chopper for years, and it worked just fine. For cooking and baking, I wanted something larger. After doing some research and reading reviews, I decided on this KitchenAid 3.5-cup chopper.
Food choppers are great and will save you time over using a knife to cut larger amounts of ingredients for a recipe.
This is where I particularly find it handy when a recipe calls for ingredients to be chopped, diced, or minced. It saves me time. To be honest with you, I'm not that good with a knife.
I'm okay using a knife when a recipe calls for small amounts to be diced or chopped. Such as a couple cloves of diced garlic or a couple of chopped carrots.
When a recipe calls for larger amounts of diced or chopped ingredients for soups, stews, or other dishes it's time for me to use the chopper.

I recently made some homemade salsa. I needed to chop large amounts of ingredients for the recipe. My KitchenAid food chopper made short work of this task. You can find my homemade salsa recipe here: Homemade Restaurant Style Salsa.

Having a food chopper with a smaller bowl than a full-size food processor is very convenient. When we replaced our old, trusty Cuisinart food processor after many years, my husband and I chose a Breville that has a smaller work bowl that fits inside the larger work bowl for chopping smaller quantities. For someone who either already has or doesn’t need a full-size food processor, I can see this 3.5-cup KitchenAid food chopper being a handy addition to their kitchen!
ReplyDeleteI had to toss my Cuisinart food processor a few years ago because it broke, and I have often wished that I had another. This one looks to be exceptional, as well as not too large as to take up cabinet space. I am thinking I am going to go for this one!
ReplyDeleteI have considered buying a better food chopper. I love the one I have, but I am certainly tempted by the electric chopper that will dice onions, celery & carrots.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it could really come in handy.
ReplyDeleteI love my food chopper, but it is too small for us. I ws looking for something bigger and betterr and you have just given me a good option. Thanks Sam!
ReplyDeleteI have a small mini chopper that has lasted decades! I don't dare buy a new one, however, I know I'll eventually be in the market for one, and this one looks nice and compact -- thank you for this, it will be handy for me when I go to purchase a new one
ReplyDeleteWhat a handy kitchen helper. Thanks for telling me about this terrific food chopper, Sam.
