Mini chopper

A mini chopper is a small version of a huge food processor, such as those made by Cuisinart, Robot Coupe, Viking, KitchenAid, and others. The vast majority of mini choppers are electric, just like their larger versions. Except the veggie chopper from Chef’n, which is not electric. This one has a pull string like a salad spinner, which spins the blades. It has a big ring at the top to pull the string, which is why some people call it the lawn mower chopper. It pulls just as though you were starting a lawn mower.

The mini chopper’s advantage is its clever design. It has three very sharp blades. It’s perfect for those tasks involving cutting smaller foods in larger quantities. It’s great for chopping or mincing a bulb of garlic, an onion, or even chopping peanuts for your favorite pad Thai recipe.

Fools and knives require good handling.

His pocket knife opens in my pocket.

The knife that has been lent, never comes back alone.

I am like a doctor. I have written a prescription to help the patient. If the patient doesn’t want all the pills I’ve recommended, that’s up to him. But I must warn that next time I will have to come as a surgeon with a knife.

The damning tho’t stuck in my throat and cut me like a knife, that she, whom all my life I’d loved, should be another’s wife.
