Top 10 Hand Crank Food Choppers
for February 2023

This is a fairly inexpensive handheld chopper, but it's actually our favorite: it's big enough that it doesn't have to go in the dishwasher, it will chop most food without struggle, and it's well-made, sharp, and easy to clean. We especially love its egg divider.

Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store, very inexpensive, portable, a must-have in the kitchen. This hand-cranked onion chopper chops the vegetables quickly, and the eggs are separated from vegetables and cleanly mixed in a blender. However, it does not include a blade protector or blade guard to protect the motor from getting damaged if you accidentally put your fingers on the blade. The blade can also be easily damaged, so you better handle with care.

Easily chop and mince meat. At half the price of a food processor, this hand crank meat grinder/vegetable chopper/fruit maker/juicer is a bargain.

A hand-cranked centrifugal food chopper that crushes everything from onions to seeds, and chops or shreds foods like nuts, meats, and fruit. It's smaller and cheaper than professional models, but it still quickly and finely chops or eliminates food.

This kitchen item requires very little effort to work, making it ideal for chopping nuts. The blades are sharp but not damaging, and the blades are easily removed. Our only disappointment is that the device doesn't do very well with hazelnuts.

This kitchen hand crank grinder works as advertised. Its compact design, easy use, and affordable price make it an excellent choice.

The Power Blade food chopper has fewer parts and an ergonomic grip, so it feels better in your hand. This heavy-duty chopper worked best chopping onions, which easily sliced apart instead of shredding as with cheaper choppers.

This food processor is the best for chopping extra ingredients, such as nuts or celery. You'll like its generous 3-cup work bowl.

Great for everyday use, but also perfect for camping and food prep, the hand-powered Chef'n VeggiChop is an essential kitchen gadget and always a good idea to have on hand.

If you only buy one kitchen appliance this year, make it a manual, hand-powered blender like this one. It's inexpensive, easy to clean, and compact enough to fit into a drawer.
