Is the slap chop any good?

OK, thanks for all the info. If I get that slap chop (yep, splitting apart real deal!) and it breaks the first time I use it....

Just sayin'!

...slap chop the nuts off the guy who sold it to you.

You could always go to Williams Sonoma and buy their version. It won't break, unless you try to.

My pampered chef version has proven to be pretty durable.

Hmmmm...I was going to make a snide comment about how many slap chops I could buy for the cost of one from W-S and got shocked. I found this one for what looks a decent price. Ah, but..."Do not use chopper for meat, nuts, cheese, roots or produce with pits." Aw...can't chop nuts? Nuts!!!

This is the one I have. Simple, easy to clean, works great and will chop your nuts too.

I've already got a nut grinder (I mean besides the one I divorced!), so it doesn't really matter.

I suggest an ancient design... mezzaluna choppa!



Some have multiple blades...






I have a cheap one... found it at Target.

I have one of those from Alaska Cutlery. Every-time I look at it I have the weirdest urge to skin a whale. That thing is sharp

Every time I call 'DSG "Slap chops", she gets hugely pissed off.

Is that any good? You decide...

Only sissies can't chop onions with a good chef's knife. My sole concession to modernity is that I like to use one of those flexible, plastic sheets on which to do the chopping -- makes it easier to shuffle the onion mince (or dice) into whatever vessel is required.

My xyl (who is an admitted sissy) has one of those chop-a-slop gadgets. It mashes the onion mince, making a wet mass of mashed bits laced through with strings and strips of onion skins (the very thin membranes between the layers). One hell of a mess.
