Zyliss Easy Pull Food Processor & Manual Food Chopper - Vegetable Slicer & Dicer - Hand-Operated Salad Veggie Chopper - Kitchen Essentials

Chops veggies, nuts, and herbs in seconds—no electricity needed. Just pull the handle! Compact, easy to clean, and perfect for quick meal prep. A must-have for every kitchen.

Quick & easy to use, to clean, and to store. Fun design, fun to use. Minimalist. Works in power outages ;-)I use mine to make organic walnut butter. It takes about a minute, is absolutely fresh, is about half the cost of buying ready-made, and eliminates packaging (normally glass jar + lid). Ingredients: organic walnuts. That's it. 3 pulls yields chopped nuts, but for my purposes I give it 30 pulls to yield a nice fine texture about like brown sugar. I store my "walnut dust" in a reusable container in the fridge. At breakfast, I drizzle olive oil on toast, then put a spoonful of my walnut dust on the bread and spread it around with the back of the spoon. Tastes great as is, or top it with cinnamon. At first I assumed I'd add some oil to make the consistency more like peanut butter (which you can do by adding an oil of your choice), but I prefer the mealy dust consistency for simplicity's sake: faster to make, no mess to clean up, easier to store, zero waste.New topic: I routinely make one dish skillet meals using half a dozen or so different veggies, and I initially bought this hoping to speed up veggie prep, but I wasn't thrilled with the results for that purpose. Within the first few pulls, you end up with partly pureed mush and partly unchopped pieces. If you keep pulling to make the big pieces smaller, you end up with ever more mush...more like a smoothie. Cooked veggie smoothie anyone? Exactly. So I'd recommend using this for things you want to puree...salad dressings, marinades, sauces, dessert toppings, guacamole...and of course it's great for chopping nuts. For veggies though, I went back to using a knife. (Feb. 2019 update: for veggies & hard fruits like apples, I've been using, and recommend, Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder. I use it every day.)Would definitely buy again. Has paid for itself many times over.(2019 Feb. update: I've been using the Zyliss for over two years now and it's still going strong!)[2023 Nov. update: it's *still* working fine! Mostly using to chop frozen walnuts, which are not easy on it; although I'm careful not to overload it...just doing a medium handful at a time. Also for processing cilantro and/or parsley with nuts & oil etc for quick/easy pesto type condiments.]

The Zyliss Easy Pull Food Processor is awesome! Super easy to use, chops everything quickly, and no need to plug anything in. Perfect for RV trips or quick meals at home. Cleanup is a breeze, too. Love it!

I love this little food chopper! I have tried several ones and this one is the best. Chopping carrots, celery, onions etc- can be used by anyone. Doesn’t require strength at all! I would definitely recommend it!

Great product. Strong and compact. Slices perfectly with just a few pulls of the wire, vegetables, fruits, nuts of all kinds. You name it. Easy to clean and maintain. We bought the first slicer over 5 years ago and it still works like new.The current purchase is for a gift.

Works, but doesn’t chop as easily as it would seem in video or pictures. Nice that bowl and blade ok in dishwasher, but top cannot be placed in it and must just be wiped off. Nice that it doesn’t have to be charged or have a cord.

My eyes are extremely sensitive to the evil power that hides inside the deceivingly innocent onion. Every time I finely chop onions, my eyes tear up like gross little fountains. Chopping onions is the bane of my existence, but I still bear with it because who can cook without them? Usually, I will peel and cut and onion in half before wrapping it in plastic wrap and sticking it in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Freezing the onion helps to inhibit the enzymes that irritate my eyes when I chop onions, so that I can cut them without tearing up. However, sometimes I forget to do that or simply don't have enough time. This little device is the perfect solution to that problem. I can cut an onion in half, or quarters depending on the size, plop it into the device and let the pull-chopper do all the dirty work. All the tear-inducing liquid inside the onion is contained without the device and I am left with nicely chopped onions. I highly recommend this pull-chopper to anyone who hates chopping food into uniform pieces. It's great at prepping ingredients for cooking like onion and garlic. You can make everything from homemade salsa to Chimichurri. The device is simple to put together and take apart. Cleaning is a breeze as well; just be careful when cleaning the blade. The pull-chopper is quite durable and the most vulnerable component, the cord, has a prolonged lifespan because it does not get exposed to water when you clean the device. This is because the bottom of the lid is the only part of the lid that makes contact with the ingredients and gets dirty. It doesn't take too many pulls to finely chop ingredients; even those as tough as fresh carrots. However, you can adjust how finely the ingredients get chopped by decreasing and increasing the number of pulls. When it comes time to put away the device, all the components assemble together into a tiny bundle that is easy to shove into any uninhabited space in a my kitchen cabinet.

This is an incredible manual food chopper, well worth five stars with a couple of common sense caveats.The blades are razor sharpe. Don't get your fingers anywhere near them when removing or washing. And if, like me, you could see no way to remove the guard and the instructions made no sense, play safe and find a utube video.Secondly, some reviewers have complained about water getting inside the lid. Of course it does! Use your eyes, people. There's a hole in the lid for the pull string. Don't put the lid in the dishwasher or immerse it in water. Cover the hole with your thumb when you rinse it under the tap, or wipe carefully around it.This cutter has saved me hours of time. I've already gifted it to several people, explaining rhe caveats, and they too are thrilled. Buy it, mind the blades and the hole, and enjoy!
