KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Mini Food Chopper Empire Red

This KitchenAid 3.5 cup food chopper is truly a must have in the kitchen. This little chopper takes up very little room but it is such a great kitchen appliance to have. I use this in the morning and throw onions, peppers, and tomatoes into it chop them up and then cracks eggs into the mixture and chop them just a little to blend it really well. It makes the best western omelets. I use it to chop up celery and onion for chicken salad or tuna salad. If you want to make salsa or homemade guacamole it's the perfect size and you don't have to get out the big huge food processor because this does such a great job when you don't have a lot to do. It literally takes a minute to chop up a whole onion or 3 minutes to make homemade fresh salsa.

It literally takes a minute to chop up a whole onion or 3 minutes to make homemade fresh salsa. It also will puree foods and it has a hole in the top so if you want to make your own salad dressings or pesto you can add oil while it's processing your other ingredients. The quality of this is just superb and I can highly recommend this product. It is super simple to use as well and very easy for cleanup, in fact I put a couple of drops of dish soap in the food processor with warm water, pulse it a few times and finally rinse with very hot water and it's clean.

I recently got the KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper, in black. We have had a similar KitchenAid Food Chopper for over a decade. It’s a little powerhouse. My wife, who is the accomplished cook in the house, uses it so much that she wanted a backup. The review is from her perspective, which I tried to capture.In the box you get the chopper motor housing, the 3.5 cup container, with locking lid and with drizzle spout and pour spout, the blade/shaft/adapter, and documentation.Key notes include the fact that the container and all items that fit in the container/on the container are top-rack dishwasher safe. The construction of the motor housing and other components are all KitchenAid quality… very durable, especially when compared to other manufacturers. Blades are ... MoreI recently got the KitchenAid 3.5 Cup Food Chopper, in black. We have had a similar KitchenAid Food Chopper for over a decade. It’s a little powerhouse. My wife, who is the accomplished cook in the house, uses it so much that she wanted a backup. The review is from her perspective, which I tried to capture.In the box you get the chopper motor housing, the 3.5 cup container, with locking lid and with drizzle spout and pour spout, the blade/shaft/adapter, and documentation.Key notes include the fact that the container and all items that fit in the container/on the container are top-rack dishwasher safe. The construction of the motor housing and other components are all KitchenAid quality… very durable, especially when compared to other manufacturers. Blades are super sharp, as one would expect. And the cord included is substantial, yet fits neatly around the housing to keep the cord organized when not in use. In addition, the feet on the bottom of the housing keep the unit in place when chopping, while reducing vibration. Ingenious.The sturdy lid (and the chopper container) lock solidly into place to ensure that neither comes loose while in use. Neither she nor I knew what the hole was for on the lid of our current chopper. And, given we now had the instructions for the new chopper, we decided to check them out. Low and behold, the hole is a drizzle spout for slowly adding in oils to dressings, etc., without having to remove the locked lid. Will wonders never cease?The chopper offers two speeds (chop and puree) and a pulse option. You lock the lid and body in place and hold down the integrated pulse/on “button” on the lid (by the handle, where your thumb would be as you hold the container, if you were pouring it) to chop or puree. The unit will not turn on unless the lid and body are securely locked in place. You pulse by quickly pressing and releasing the pulse/on button. Make sure to read the instructions if you have any questions (I wish we would’ve years ago). They're very clear and easy to read. But, even without the instructions, this thing is super easy to use and has a very powerful motor. My wife has made chimichurri with it (parsley, garlic, and oil) for steaks, salsa, pico de gallo, peanut butter, and a ton of other things. According to her, it’s great for chopping/mincing onions for burgers, awesome for chopping nuts for baking and for use as ice cream toppings, and excellent at chopping fruits for jams.I asked her for her overall rating, she said that it’s a solid five-star. I asked her why. She said that the KitchenAid 3.5 cup chopper that we currently have has served her well for years. And, showing true KitchenAid quality, while the one we have isn’t showing signs of slowing down yet… even after years of hard use… after trying this one to make sure it worked just as well, cleaning it up and storing it for when our current one eventually calls it quits, she said that she has no problem recommending this little gem to others. Give the KitchenAid 3.5 cup chopper a go folks. You won’t be disappointed.

I never felt the need for a food processor. I had one years ago and gave it away because of the space it took and hassle to wash it. This has became my favorite kitchen small appliance as it squashed those cons right away! So powerful for something so small! It perfectly chops nuts, onions, peppers, celery, and just about anything else that fits into the chopped food category! I also used it for some desserts. It turned my vanilla cookies into powder , perfect for my truffles, in seconds. It takes almost no space on my counter. I've used it for four different meal preps in two days and I suspect I'm going to use it a few times per week.It’s really easy to use. Just place blade in the bowl, then add the food item, cover it, and let the machine do the work. I ... MoreI never felt the need for a food processor.

Just place blade in the bowl, then add the food item, cover it, and let the machine do the work. I noticed that’s it’s not very loud either. Another nice bonus is that it has a place for liquids like oil to be poured into so that it can be incorporated into the mixture. They refer to it as an oil drizzle. The best thing is that the bowl, stainless steel blade, and lid are dishwasher safe (top shelf only)! The base is very sturdy and securely holds the machine in place during operation. The cord can be easily hidden as it has a space for it to be wrapped around the base…very convenient ! If you're looking for a superior food chopper, I highly recommend getting this one!
