Recommended Usages

The chopper makes it easy to prepare chopped ingredients for soups, salads, pesto, hummus, salsa, guacamole, baby foods, among others.

Chopping

  • Vegetables and fruits without a hard seed, e.g. onion, carrot, potato, tomato, cucumber, bell pepper, kale, etc.
  • Herbs e.g. garlic, spring onion, etc.

TIP: If the food is too tough to cut with your knife, then it will be too tough for the chopper.

Mixing

  • Eggs, flour, soup, cream, etc.

How to Clean

  • All parts should be washed right after use. Handwash them to prolong the life of the product.
  • Clean the pusher by hand with warm, soapy water.
  • DO NOT put the pusher in the dishwasher, or submerge it under water.

Hand Cleaning of the Salad Spinner

  • Pour some dish washing detergent into the basket and bowl. Use a detergent that fights grease to eliminate remnants of oils and salad dressing from the basket and bowl.
  • Run warm water into the spinner until it is at least half full. Replace the lids and pusher.
  • Push the pusher down repeatedly to make the basket spin. Spinning the basket in the water loosens food remnants and forces them out of the basket.
  • Allow the basket to come to a stop. Pour water out of the bowl.
  • Dampen the rough side of a sponge. Add a small amount of dish washing detergent if desired. Swipe the sponge around the basket, concentrating on any remaining food particles that are stuck in the holes of the basket.
  • Do a final rinse to remove food particles and dish soap from the basket and the bowl.
  • Dry all pieces of the salad spinner.

Hand Cleaning of the Chopper

  • Wash the parts with warm, soapy water.
  • Use a mild detergent if necessary.
  • Use a brush to clean the chopper blade if necessary.

Dishwasher Cleaning

  • Only use low heat settings. Make sure your dishwasher’s setting is under 105°F (40°C), as higher temperatures in the dishwasher may cause the plastic parts to warp.
  • IMPORTANT: Do not put the pusher in the dishwasher.

Caution

The blades are sharp and are to be handled with extreme caution. Not suitable for use by children.
