Food choppers are the stuff of old TV infomercials, so it can be difficult to separate the good gadgets from the ones worthy of a “SNL” skit. There are many on the market, but the best food chopper will set up quickly, slice and dice efficiently, and clean up quickly, earning a place in your pantry or kitchen cabinet.

Chef’n VeggiChop Hand-Powered Food Chopper is not only small, but it is also a true time saver in the kitchen that you could even take on your next picnic or camping trip. It’s easy to see why even Cuisinart fans are falling head over heels for it for home use, because it’s easy to grab and clean. There is a small footprint on the countertop and no setup time. While an electric chopper will always provide a more uniform cut, this one comes close. (Plus, why should you be concerned when you’re just going to eat the food?)

Quickly chop nuts for ice cream sundaes or onions, carrots, and celery for a mirepoix. No more sobbing uncontrollably while chopping onions. Simply cut the bulb ends off, peel off the dry skin, and cut into quarters. Put them in the VeggiChop and turn the knob a few times. When you’re finished, simply remove the blade and give the bowl a quick wipe and rinse. Everything, with the exception of the pull-cord lid, is also dishwasher safe.

And at around $16.82 on Amazon, it’s a steal. (It’s currently 16% off.)

You’ll not only impress your friends, but you’ll be surprised at how enjoyable and simple it is to use! Fresh salsa and guacamole will take your taco night to the next level. If homemade hummus is more your style, this little guy will assist you. It’s also great for older people or those with arthritis because the large handle that spins the blade is easy to pull.
