It takes up precious time you could be using to binge other shows, and not to mention, your arm will likely get worn out from all the knifework. Save yourself some time and effort with this Mueller vegetable chopper that reviewers say can shave hours off meal prep—and it’s 50 percent off at Amazon. With eight stainless steel attachments, you can chop and slice almost anything. Making a chopped salad? Use the small and large dicers to cut up bite-sized pieces of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, and more veggies. Or shred carrots to toss in a green salad using the julienne attachment. You can even grate parmesan cheese to sprinkle over spaghetti and meatballs. “I hate slicing, dicing, everything,” one reviewer said. “This has saved me. Finally, I don't have to sit there and cry whilst dicing my onions into oblivion.” And all the parts are dishwasher safe to save you even more time when cleaning up, too. Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1 8-Blade Vegetable Chopper Amazon Orig. $50 $25 at Amazon Of course the different attachments are great, but the vegetable chopper comes with some other handy pieces, like plastic storage for the blades to keep all the pieces together. The tool itself is compact enough (11.18 by 5.47 by 5.2 inches) that it won’t hog cabinet space, as well. Along with the storage containers, it includes a cleaning fork to remove stuck-on pieces of food that the dishwasher might miss. As you use the chopper, the container underneath the blades collects the food pieces, making them easy to dump onto a plate or into a serving bowl all in one go. It has a 7-cup capacity, which is definitely large enough to prep ingredients for an entire meal. “[It] has taken chopping multiple vegetables for my veggie-heavy chili recipe from a major production into something that takes a few minutes,” one shopper commented. The 41 Best Host and Hostess Gifts Of 2024 The food chopper is useful for cooking for yourself or for your family, but it will also be a huge help when it comes to preparing multiple dishes for dinner parties. “I cater, and this makes chopping so fast when hosting for a larger group,” said one customer. “I make homemade pico, and it normally takes me close to 2 hours, as I have to hand-cut typically 10 large tomatoes, one red onion, [and] three to four jalapeños,” said one shopper. “I was able to make my pico in less than 30 minutes with this chopper.” Grab the Mueller vegetable chopper now while it’s 50 percent off, and find even more clever and useful kitchen tools from Amazon below.
