Any body have any good recommendations for a chopper for onions, bell pepper, etc?
I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t have very good knife skills. It can be a long grueling process when doing a big gumbo or jambalaya.

French Fry Cutter

Dices onions, bell pepper and celery pretty well.

Never used one, but depending how large you're talking, perhaps a buffalo chopper.

Or a Robot Coupe.

Walmart Mainstay's multi function slicer and chopper. $12.44. I also have a Kitchenaid.

The cheap Walmart slices onions for burgers perfectly. Also dices finer than the other one.

Once you start using, you will say where has this been. For people like me with questionable knife skills but ocd about uniform vegetables it's great and will save you lots of time.

Hope this helps.

Sunbeam Oskar

I have used this for years, and have two more I've collected in reserve is case one fails.

I’ve been wanting a French fry chopper anyways. Didn’t even think about it for other vegetables too

Knife skills are just part of it. No secret it's a lot easier if you have sharp knives to begin with and that is where a lot of people fail since they don't have a clue how to sharpen their knives to keep a good edge on them.

A sharp knife, a bit of practice and you could be chopping things up like a pro in no time.


My complaint with most veg. choppers is they tend to make mush out of the vegetables.

Bud, just get used to using a knife. It's not that hard once you get used to it and it is much easier to clean a knife than it is to clean all of those parts on a whopper chopper.

Sounds like a great opportunity to learn instead of taking a short cut. Just sayin'....there are a ton of videos out there teaching you solid knife skills. Practice and you'll be kicking arse in no time.

High volume restaurants use this style of vegetable chopper. They're not very cost effective, but they're very versatile with interchangeable cutting plates and will last a lifetime.

Or maybe just someone who believes in personal growth? If you love cooking, you should take the time to learn how to handle a knife proficiently. It's pretty damn easy, just takes practice once you understand what to do with your fingers. Buy some celery and get used to the motion of the knife, using your middle knuckle as a knife guard. Once you get the mechanics down, speed comes naturally.

I have this one, and I really like it. However, the one knock I have on it that you can get with some other ones in this thread, is uniformity of pieces. You can turn certain veggies into mush if you don't watch it. That being said, it's super easy to use and will chop most veggies with just 4-5 pulls.
