12/22/2023 0 Comments Used pampered chef chopper![]() It's not quite as easy to clean as a knife and cutting board, but it's really not too bad to just take it apart and put in through the top rack of the dishwasher. It does perform well, and I should probably use it more often than I do, but I usually only use it about once a month. I do think it is handy when you have a large amount of various vegetables to chop up, but I usually still find it easier and more convenient just to chop up veggies on my cutting board unless I have a lot to do. I bought this product about six years ago after a friend of mine, who hosts a lot of dinner parties, said it was a must have. Overall, I've had it for 10+ years, so that's pretty good! Also, when I'm chopping fast sometimes the blades momentarily get hung up on rotation. I have to squeeze it a few times to get it to fit back on. I have noticed that the plastic blade cover has changed in the dishwasher, so that it is tricky to get the slots on it to line up with the blades and get it back on. I recommend rinsing them off soon after using because dried on food doesn't come off it in the dishwasher well. The top of the stem is a smaller diameter than some chopper brands, which I think makes it less comfortable for big jobs.Īll the parts can be removed and fanned open to be put in the dishwasher and cleaned. If I do a lot of chopping with a hard food, like nuts or frozen cranberries, then the palm of my hand gets sore and tired from patting the top of the chopper. I love using it to chop onions, because I can avoid the watery eyes and sniffle reaction to the onions. Although, I also use it directly on a cutting board without the cap. I like it because I can chop with the cap on the end, keeping it all self contained, so I don't need a cutting board. I use the chopper periodically, but mostly during holiday baking. It doesn't matter to me, except when chopping walnuts because by dicing them, there seems to be a lot of walnut "dust" mixed with the end product. The size of the chopped product is not uniform, but close. ![]() It works by putting food inside the clear cylinder area at the bottom and then patting/pushing the top of the stem down with your palm, which lowers the stainless blades and rotates them with each chop. I got a Pampered Chef Food Chopper about 10+ years ago and still have it. True Makes chopping easy, but not perfect The chopper handle is easy to use and the blades do a good job of chopping. I do find the blades sometimes a problem to clean if I chop something sticky. The chopper comes apart easily for cleaning. I do wash it in the dishwasher and that does not seem to affect the longevity. I have had my chopper for several years and it has stood up well. It is handy to be able to wash the chopper in the dishwasher. ![]() Sometimes I have to clean them by hand before putting the chopper in the dishwasher. I do find the blades a little cumbersome to clean depending on what I am chopping. While a little pricey compared to other choppers it is worth it because it does last. The chopper is the same good quality that Pampered Chef is known for. The Pampered Chef chopper does a great job of chopping veggies and nuts quickly and with much less mess than when using a cutting board. ![]()
