Food Choppers/Processors?
So I had a Quick Chop food chopper for a while . . you know, the kind that you push the thing down by hand and it chops up your little bit of garlic or onion or whatever. Very small but I mostly just used it for mincing garlic. It broke and I want to replace it but am hoping someone can recommend one.
I don't want another manual one but rather a small electric one. I've read lots of reviews on different ones but my main concern is that I want to be able to chop some veggies like peppers, carrots, zucchini, garlic rather than puree or smush them and to mince garlic. A lot of the smaller ones seem to say 'chop and puree' rather than 'chop and mince'. Here are the ones I was looking at. http://www.amazon.com/Cuisinart-DLC-...pr_product_top http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-E...pr_product_top http://www.boscovs.com/StoreFrontWeb...emNumber=57499 There's also an 8 cup one by B&D but don't know if that's too big . . . would have to see it. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Black-Deck...essor/16913545 Anyone have any reviews on these or another kind? Open to suggestions. TIA. |
I have the cuisinart. Its really handy and powerful. My only complaint is that if you over process you will end up with mush (like youve mentioned).
I also had the vidalia chop wizard. I loved it (just broke like 2 weeks ago after YEARS). Now that baby is great at dicing. I love making pico de gallo and the vidalia chopped everything into nice little cubes - no mush. Downside is that there is no motor, its all manual. Something else that might work for you is a salad shooter, I recently purchased one of these and its great at chopping, shredding and slicing. One veggie that doesnt work too well with it is celery. |

Would that Cuisinart grind graham crackers into crumbs? I bake a lot and mainly use a mixer but whenever I make a graham cracker crust I always wish I had some kind of food processor . . I still put them in a ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. :lol: The Vidalia chopper looks pretty good but it doesn't have much selection in the size of the chopped pieces. I prefer a bit smaller pieces. HEY! You're only 2 lbs. away from your second goal. You go!! :yes: |
Lol thanks for noticing!
Yeah the cuisinart would be perfect for graham crackers.....I've used it for that, for saltines, and even ritz crackers. |
