My MIL gave us one of those a couple of years ago, I love it for any time I need to do a large amount of chopping (the measured container is a big plus in my book).

Frankly, I have started using a chef's "kevlar" glove for trimming, slicing and mandolining. My food service glove fits right over it and I know unless I go straight at my hand I am safe. I get enough ripped up fingers from woodworking.....gimme a break!

Sounds like a useful tool. I need diced onions and peppers for all sorts of stuff....saving time is a good thing.

My mom gave me a WS chopper for Christmas a couple of years ago. She loved hers so much she got two. I didn't use it for awhile, but when I started I didn't stop. I love it now. It is great for making soup, chili, salsa, or anything that you are trying to get equal size cuts from different veggies. Easy to clean and use.
I highly recommend.

Marty, I am shocked, you are the last person I would ever have imagined would use a Kevlar glove in the kitchen.

That's ... that's .....
Cheating! No fair! J/K It takes a brave man to admit their skills lack in any area so props to you for that. I'm reminded of the scene from "Julie and Julia" where Julia Child had a pile of onions about 2 feet high from practicing chopping them. My sister's a pro (CIA grad) and I know that's one of the skills she had to learn. And yet I'd be very surprised if anyone doing it for a living used anything but an industrial strength version of what you find so useful.

I have seen them at the kitchen store outlet malls. These are available at bed bath and beyond also. They are available in several sizes.

That looks like a very useful tool, but for me
the chopping of the veggies by hand with a knife is fun and very therapeutic.... as with any learned skill set, practice and patience is key.... |

Hank, your conjecture about the use of choppers would be spot on for many mud-level restaurants. The large chains use pre-chopped and bagged aromatics. Most fine dining kitchens and Chinese/Asian kitchens break down whole vegetables. Knife skills is how every new chef is evaluated. I can break down and chop and onion to a fine dice in less than 2 minutes, and I am slow now. A trained chef will be faster with a knife than one of these units.

My wife got me a Bron Mandoline few years ago. Works great, looks cool. Still prefer using a knife though. Sharp knives and fire baby, that's how I roll.

Those are great. When I dehydrate a bushel or two of vegetables like bell peppers, it is important for drying times that the pieces are the same size. So I found one of these and it works pretty good so far.
