It’s a fact: good knife skills are hard to develop, and we don’t all have the time to learn to whizz through the Sunday roast prep like Gordon Ramsay. Fortunately the internet has a solution in the form of a humble vegetable chopper — and it's currently available with 40% off in Amazon's Spring Sale.
These little tools are nothing new, but they’ve been generating a serious buzz on TikTok, where users have been showing off perfectly uniform, effortless results in seconds. Take a look through the #VegetableChopper tag and you'll find hundreds of videos of users effectively dicing through onions, peppers, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and more with ease.
What is a vegetable chopper?
These little appliances can cut, dice, chop, and slice all sorts of things, including onions, hard fruits, and vegetables such as carrots, courgettes and swede. All you need to do is lift the lid, place the ingredient on top of the blade and press the lid down. The chopped pieces will go into the base beneath — where they’ll be ready to go!
This Fullstar chopper ensures perfectly evenly-diced veggies in one motion, has a non-slip base, and comes with removable blades for easy cleaning. The clever design also has four interchangeable blades to slice both small and large ingredients, as well as spiral and ribbon blades — great for making zucchini noodles.
Is it worth buying a vegetable chopper?
We wouldn’t advise you to throw out your best knives and, if you have excellent knife skills, then probably not. But we do think a vegetable chopper makes a handy tool for faff-free meal prep on time-poor evenings — or when you’re hosting a big bash with lots of dishes to get ready.
The Fullstar chopper is your friend here, but there are options with pulse functions that puree ingredients too, allowing you to make salsas, sauces and pesto in seconds. This Ninja chopper (currently reduced to £25 on Amazon), is a good bet in this instance.
Where to buy the viral vegetable chopper
So, if you regularly find yourself struggling to motivate yourself to prep dinner after a long day, or have limited mobility, a vegetable chopper could make a handy tool in your kitchen arsenal. You can pick up the Fullstar vegetable chopper from Amazon — but be quick, as the sale ends on Monday!
