Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Chef'n VeggiChop Vegetable Chopper, Arugula
Customer Review: Great for Large Recipes, Be ready for an uneven chop
Summary: 4 Stars
I got the VeggiChop because I'm trying to cook from scratch more instead of buying pre-chopped mire poix from Trader Joe's or frozen chopped veggies for soups & stews.
I have a certain breaking point, where a whole lotta chopping becomes... well, demotivating, and the soup just doesn't get made (pizza, anyone?).
I also have a TINY kitchen and an electric, full size food processor is simply out of the question.
The VeggiChop brings enough variation and novelty to the chopping process to keep me on task in the kitchen. I'm using a lot more fresh vegetables in my cooking now, saving money, and enjoying the work!
Some notes...
You'll still have to clean & cut the veggies (I've tried onions, celery, bell peppers, carrots, and shallots) into chunks before they go into the bowl. And if you're doing a stock pot of soup, you'll be doing a couple of rounds of each of the major ingredients.
And the chop isn't as even or "pretty" as a good knife chop or even a food processor chop. So if it's food for a party and you want a perfect dice of red bell peppers for garnish, get out your knife.
Also, I haven't had much luck with herbs or garlic. They stick to the blades and don't really get minced, even with the little paddle attachment that's supposed to help with that. I bought a garlic twist NexTrend Garlic Twist - Clear for the garlic, and use a knife for the herbs.
And although it says somewhere in the product info online that you can chop ice with this thing... meh. Not really. Or I couldn't... Maybe if you started with those tiny hotel cubes?
However, you CAN make fruit sorbets with the thing. Mark Bittman had a recipe in the NY Times recently for simple fruit sorbets, and if you let the frozen fruit thaw slightly first, you can make a nice two serving batch very easily with the VeggiChop.
What else: Oh. Easy to clean, just be careful with the blade.
Hope that helps!
Description of Chef'n VeggiChop Vegetable Chopper, Arugula
The VeggiChop is a quick and easy way to chop ingredients or create fresh salsas, pestos and more. And since it?s hand-powered it requires no electricity. Simply fill the VeggiChop with large pieces of vegetables or fruits, nuts, herbs, boneless meats or even ice. Replace the lid and pull the handle in quick, horizontal pulls. In just a few pulls, the patented blade mechanism begins to coarsely chop and blend your ingredients. For finer results, continue to pull until satisfied. When finished, remove the blade mechanism and serve in the bowl. For easy cleanup, simply wipe down the lid; the bowl and blade mechanism are both dishwasher safe. The VeggiChop is perfect for chopping fruits, vegetables, nuts, and herbs, as well as making salsas, coleslaws, salads, pesto and more.Choppers & Mincers
