Chef'n VeggiChop Vegetable Chopper, Arugula Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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!

Miracle Chopper Salsa Maker w/ Built in Egg White Separator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had the original salsa maker with the two curved blades. I absolutely loved it. It, too, was made of plastic so it eventually died, but I thought 5 years was pretty good for plastic. So, I ordered another. First, the product shipped was not as pictured (although it looks like they have replaced the picture now). The new product has 3 straight blades, not curved (the straight blades do not slice through as easily as the curved blades). As a result, there is more resistence. Coupled with less quality plastic, the thing broke on the first use. I have tried to contact the seller 3 times to return the product, but I have received no response. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
This is the first time I have been disappointed with anything I have ordered through Amazon. Oh well, I guess it was bound to happen at some point. I'll continue to order from Amazon, but definitely not from this seller. Also, my experience, most things advertised with the "as seen on TV" phrase is typically cheap in price and cheaply made. Good concept, but poor end result.

Kitchen Plus 3000 Super Salsa Maker and More Review

(More customer reviews)I love this product. I have only used it once so far to make bruschetta. It chopped the tomatoes very quickly but did not puree them. It even chopped up the parsley very nicely. I can't wait to use it to make salsa. The chopper also came with a ton of other great kitchen tools. It has a grater, a slicer, an egg white separator, and so much more. This product is well worth the money.

Black & Decker FP1450 Quick'n Easy 450-Watt 8-Cup Food Processor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this food processor for myself only about two weeks ago, so I can't say yet as to how long it lasts. I wanted to point out a few problems with it though. First off I really despise the locking lid 'safety feature'! I find it difficult to position the bowl and lid correctly and get it to lock and I usually have to try this several times to get it right. (The unit will not power on until the lid is locked correctly) In fact, the first day that I had this I thought that it was broken and I almost returned it! I am also not pleased with the shredding blade. My main purpose of this processor was to shred potatoes so that I don't have to use a hand grater or purchase the frozen pre-shredded ones. The shredding blade on this is very small and makes the potatoes come out more like spaghetti noodles. I would love to purchase a different size blade but Black and Decker does not make one. I am going to shop other food processors with better shredding capabilities and when I find one that suits me I am going to replace this one. I hope that this review will help others who are looking for a good shredding food processor.

With its powerful 450-watt motor, this convenient food processor helps to reduce prep time in the kitchen. The unit provides an 8-cup work bowl and a stainless-steel chopping blade for coarsely or finely chopping, mincing, mixing, or pureeing food. It also comes with a reversible stainless-steel slicing/shredding disk and a food chute with a pusher for slicing cabbage to make coleslaw or for shredding cheese to sprinkle over a homemade pizza. Chop, slice, or shred directly into the work bowl or use the continuous-flow side chute to slice up large quantities of food like potatoes or carrots into a separate container. Its user-friendly control dial offers low and high speed settings, plus "pulse" to deliver an extra burst of power when needed. For safety, the appliance provides an interlock system, which prevents the food processor from operating unless the work bowl and cover are properly locked into place. Other highlights include a continuous flow stopper to direct food into the work bowl, a storage lid, cord wrap, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. The food processor measures approximately 10-1/5 by 10-1/5 by 15-1/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Ronco FS100200GEN Veg-o-Matic Food Chopper and Slicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Bought this. First time out of box, couldn't even cut an onion. I had the correct holding plate and blade installed correct side up. Quartered a normal yellow onion, and the machine crushed it instead of cutting it. I could get it to work with the larger grate if I literally put all my body weight on top of it. Piece of junk. I will be returning it.

Progressive International Vegetable/French Fry Cutter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The product itself get 5 stars for ease and functionality and 4 stars for a cleaning problem and lack of accessories.
In the package are 2 different sized blade grates and push blocks that are easily assembled and removed from the main body by depressing a small lever and turning a latch, respectively. Cutting capacity is less than 4 inches in length. You'll have to "cut" large Russets before "cutting!"
Clean-up is mostly easy, if you have a baby bottle nipple brush to poke through the grate holes and cross brush the push blocks (a toothbrush for the latter works also). However, the main body has slots where the push block slides. This area collects and traps small potato fragments and is difficult to clean.
I would like to see different shaped blade grates, just for the heck of it. You never know what strange moods you will be in!? I would enjoy a larger capacity in the main body, but this would cause more strength to cut the potatoes. Right now, there's a good compromise between capacity and cutting effort.
Don't forget to double fry your potatoes: about 2-3 minutes at 325F, pat dry, then about 5 minutes or golden brown at 375F.
You can check the cooking sites for variations.

Progressive International Jumbo Potato Cutter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Years ago I bought a potato cutter at a garage sale. It was all steel and a good size (accepting virtually any potato without cutting it down to size). I've been very happy with it.
Recently we bought a cabin so needed to add a second set of kitchen tools. One of the items we decided we wanted was a second potato cutter. I ordered this one because of the "jumbo" in the name hoping that it would work as well as our previous garage sale cutter.
Thankfully, this product lives up to the jumbo name. It's larger than our garage sale cutter by 20% or so. It is easy to use and clean up. Not to mention it has a suction cup to attach it to the counter which works surprisingly well.
Pros: Large with two sizes of cutting blades; a larger mesh for traditional fries and smaller mesh for McDonald-like fries.
Cons: It's plastic and steel which makes me wonder about longevity.
All-in-all, I think this was a good purchase.
Update
My wife loves this vegetable cutter and has asked me to order another! She has used ours at least twice a week since we recieved it in Aug 2005 and has had no difficulties with it at all. I'm surprised to see that another purchaser has had problems with this product. Perhaps they received a defective one? At any rate, I would still recommend the product.

Cuisinart Mini-Prep Processor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I highly recommend the Cuisinart Mini-Prep. I've had one for 6 years and it is still running beautifully. For such a small unit it has a surprisingly powerful motor. It can chop or puree vegies, fruits, - even cooked beef, chicken, and fish. When I first bought it I used it mainly for chopping onions, garlic, herbs, etc., but then I began to discover the possibilities. Ofcourse, the portions you are able to prepare are small, but if you're alone or have a very small family, it's a great little machine. Also a breeze to clean (not like the large Cuisinart units). Only negative is that it is rather noisy, however, for this price it is a terrific value. I must add that I bought two other mini processors prior to this one (both by Black & Decker) and was thoroughly dissatisfied with them. The motors were not powerful at all and the blades were in a different position than Cuisinart Mini-Prep. They could not chop more than 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food at a time or it would not run. Neither unit would puree anything, only coarse chopping was possible. If you're looking for a good mini processor the Cuisinart Mini-Prep is it!

Cuisinart Elite Collection 4-Cup Chopper/Grinder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am a food professional and have used this many times since it is a perfect size (not too large or too small) for the little tasks that often come up at home, and I don't want to use my big machine. It has done a terrific job on everything from bread crumbs to salsa, mayonnaise, grinding nuts, pureeing onions, etc. It is easy to control and not 'over process' whatever the job is since the blade comes to a complete stop immediately. The instruction book is Cuisinart's usual competent quality. I do highly recommend it for a small size processor.

A welcome addition to any busy kitchen, this easy-to-use 4-cup chopper/grinder works a lot like a regular food processor, but without having to lug out the full-size machine. Its durable 4-cup work bowl provides ample space for many everyday kitchen tasks such as grinding pine nuts for a batch of pesto, pureeing soup or baby food, or chopping onions and green peppers to throw onto a homemade pizza. The unit's auto-reversing SmartPower blade comes with a sharp edge for chopping and pureeing soft foods, plus a blunt edge for grinding up nuts, spices, and other harder foods. Even more, its BladeLock system keeps the blade securely in place during operation and when pouring. Other highlights include a simple touchpad control panel with "chop" and "grind" options, an easy-grip handle, and dishwasher-safe parts for quick cleanup. A spatula and recipe/instruction book come included. The chopper/grinder measures 5-4/5 by 6-1/2 by 9-1/5 inches and carries a limited 18-month warranty.

Slap Chop with Graty - Food Chopping Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The slap chop and graty are tools...and like any tool, they have their benefits and their drawbacks. I now have these, a v-slicer, and a regular food processor. I use the food processor for large batch jobs, the v-slicer when I am slicing large foods, and the slap-chop when I want to chop small batches.
First, you have to read the instructions and make sure the locking ring (the black bit just under the plunger) is locked down. If it doesn't feel like it's engaging, check to make sure you're turning it the right way. Also, don't overload the chamber. If it feels flimsy, you haven't put it back together properly.
Like any manual tool you have to get a feel for it. When I started with mine, I had some trouble at times.
The upshot: you have a tool that does as well as a powered mini-chopper (if not better, you get finer control), and it's dishwasher safe and cleans thoroughly. Unlike the infomercial, you do have to clean between jobs, but if you have a sink sprayer, you can rinse off the gunk if you're going to use it immediately. Otherwise, you break it down, put it in the dishwasher, and run it.
On the graty: this has so far surpassed my Zyliss crank grater for medium cheeses (cheddar, monterey jack, etc). The Zyliss will still be good for hard cheeses like parmesan, but the graty now works best for cheddar on nachos or chili. There is one thing to remember...if you want results like in the infomercial, REMOVE THE COTTER PIN. You can do without it, and if it turns out I'm wrong, you can get replacements at most hardware stores.
