How to choose the kitchen chopper
The importance of the blades
Probably the key aspect. These machines are straightforward, and few details actually make a difference.
One of these is represented precisely by the blades. Pay close attention to the material. For optimum performance, durability, and hygiene, they must be made of stainless steel.
How many blades do you need?
Usually, the number of blades on the main models is equal to two. There are numerous multi-functional food processors, even very expensive, that have a double blade, so this means that it’s just fine.
However, in a straightforward machine such as the chopper, you could choose models equipped with several blades to optimize performance. The shredding process will be faster and more precise.
What power for the engine?
Think about what you will primarily use your chopper for. If you plan to use it exclusively for side dish operations with undemanding ingredients to treat, a “weak” device on 100/200 Watts might be more than enough.
In this way, all the other more challenging ingredients (for example, ice) can treat them with a more complex machine such as the multifunction robot.
If you don’t have much choice and don’t have a multifunction, you can opt for a slightly more complex and more powerful chopper model. There are devices on the market that can easily reach 1,000 Watts.
What speed must it reach, and the importance of the container?
Evaluate the quality and capacity of the container as well as the speed. An adjustable speed will allow you to chop the ingredients in the best possible way without risking pulping them. A container that meets your needs will ensure that your use is not limited by a possible capacity that is too small.
