Frequently asked questions
Is a manual or electric chopper better?
Manual choppers are quieter, cheaper, dishwasher-safe and enough for most weeknight jobs. Electric choppers make sense if you cook in large batches or process a lot of tough ingredients.
Can it chop onions without tears?
Mostly yes. Enclosed choppers trap the sulfur compounds that make you cry, though very fresh onions can still sting.
