Dec 05, 2006 by franxie03 | Posted in Other - Food & Drink

I am tryin to figure out what brand of food chopper I've seen on TV, it was on one of those infomercials...you are supose to be able to put a whole regular sized onion in there and it chops it with no problem...I can't remember what brand it was can you please help?

Hey! I've heard the same thing on the VIEW & by.well respected chefs I respect their reviews of the product & I want one too! But if you notice the food channel's chefs (& I've watched cooking shows that existed long before Food Channel) most chefs don't use choppomg devices at all in a professional atmosphere, opting for VERY sharp knives & lots of skill (sometimes you see those slanted planes, or a food processor). Anyway as with many things in our world, I'd find the best one you can find ($$...best blades, durability, strength, & won't fall apart when used a few times. Get tips & research, shop around. There are a lot out there & I don't think Ronco will be the best .I'd start with the high end cooking stores, then department stores. then internet, find the best price.. then knock yourself out! Let us know how it turns out! Good Luck!

What follows is a review of some mini food processors on the market today, with an emphasis on brands which are relied on for making well-made food processing appliances.

The DLC-4CHB by Cuisinart

This first subject is the DLC-4CHB mini food processor designed by Cuisinart. This 5-cup mini food processor is a helpful kitchen tool which can contain four cups and can be used by adding the food directly in the bowl. Cuisinart’s DLC-4CHB works well for chopping ingredients like herbs, celery, and garlic. Pureeing cooked vegetables, making mayonnaise and creating salad dressings is also possible with this device. The grinding capability enables you to grind corn and chop hard ingredients like peppercorns and chocolates. The well made power blade is good for chopping and grinding jobs. This pint-sized device is dishwasher safe, consequently, cleanup could be particularly easy. The lid of this device has to be closed securely which enables the device to function, then the customer can push the chop or grind buttons which help you to grind up the food.

With regards to the drawbacks of this device, it honestly does not chop especially smoothly or effectively. The device is designed for infrequent, small jobs that may be done quickly. Therefore, the motor is not especially durable, and could occasionally fail if the device is used for lengthy periods of time. Another alternative is Hamilton Beach 14-Cup Food Processors .
