Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive International Heavy Duty Nut Chopper
Customer Review: A+, I Love Nothing More Than Nut Grinding With This Tool
Summary: 5 Stars
Are you looking for something that says exactly what it does? I searched high and low for a portable, manual, handheld nut grinder that does exactly what it was supposed to do. And it is clear, that this nut grinder does the job.
I was tired of using other tools that couldn't cut it. The electric ones are overkill and I don't care for battery-operated ones because I always run out of batteries. I used an extra coffee grinder to grind nuts, but it was so susceptible to human error. A little ways in either direction ruined the meat. If you were a little heavy-handed, you could overwork the grinding mechanism and you ended up with nut butter goo. If you were too light, it would take too much time because you would keep opening up the grinder to check the consistency and it would take too long. I would end up getting so frustrated that I wasn't feeling up to doing it anymore.
But with this tool, it's perfect! I am nuts about this! You put one hand on the base, your other hand on the the handle that glides like a dream and go to town. Just crank it to completion. It makes you feel like you've been doing this forever and you can't screw it up. The consistency is always perfect---- no overworking or underworking. It is consistent with excellent, expected results everytime.
I am super satisfied with this nut grinder and recommend it to all my girlfriends who are SERIOUSLY into nuts. I'm a nut fiend! I have used this with Mexican Pinon Nuts, English Walnuts, Black Walnuts, Hawaiian Macadamias, and more!
This is not recommended for people who have an aversion to nuts or the people who aren't sure they like nuts or people who only like them from time to time. I do not think it is a good investment for those people. Also, for those who either only mildly like nuts or play with the idea of eating them can have severe reactions if they accidentally play with a nut grinder only to have them realize they're allergic. Let me tell you, allergic reactions to nuts can be disastrous scarring people emotionally for life. You don't want to see a mildly nut-resistant person go into anaphalactic shock as they will turn into anti-nut nazis.
Anyhow, all in all this is a good investment for people who like nuts.
Description of Progressive International Heavy Duty Nut Chopper
Progressive International is your source for the widest range of functional, inventive, and fun kitchen tools and great ideas put into practice. Our in-house designers spend hours in the kitchen coming up with ways to improve on a variety of traditional tasks and tools. Established in 1973, our commitment to quality and service allows us to offer a broad selection of quality kitchenware and other household products. This heavy duty nut chopper has a durable stainless steel chopping mechanism that will not only chop the softer nuts such as walnuts and peanuts, but will also chop hard almonds without damaging the teeth. Measurements are clearly printed on both sides of the 1 1/3 cup capacity ABS plastic container. The oversized santoprene grip handle is designed for left or right handed users, There is a "fine" and "coarse" grinding option. Non-skid base keeps the Nut Chopper stable while grinding. PatentedLove nuts but can't take the pressure on your teeth? This nifty hand-turned grinder will soften up nuts of all kinds for you. Just fill the top half with the nuts of your choice, set the grind option to coarse or fine, and crank away. The soft santoprene handle works for both lefties and righties. As the handle turns, the chopped nuts fall into the bottom unit, which is marked in increments of 1/4 cup to 1-1/3 cups for use in recipes or for diet control.
The chopper features sharp stainless-steel blades that work on either soft nuts, like peanuts and walnuts, or hard ones, like almonds. The top and bottom units are made of clear durable ABS plastic so you can see the contents. A non-skid base prevents the chopper from jumping around during use, and when the nuts are all chopped, the parts disassemble for easy cleaning. --Ann Bieri
