Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Progressive International Heavy Duty Nut ChopperCustomer 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.
