Nutrichopper
Nutrichopper is a hand-held device that's meant to enable you to chop a variety of food items, including fruits, vegetables, meats, and cheeses, up to 10 times faster than you would with a knife. Each hand-held tool comes with four different attachments that have been designed to cut thick slices, slim julienned slices, wedges, and cubes. After you're finished using the tool, it's specified that you'll be able to either rinse it off or load it into your dishwasher for cleaning.

How to Use (Step by Step)
- Insert Chosen Attachment
Before you can start using your Nutrichopper, you'll need to insert one of the four included attachments. The one you pick should depend on what type of food you want to slice (and in what way). As alluded to above, you'll be able to cut meat, cheese, an egg, a fruit, or a vegetable into thick strips, thin strips, cubes, or wedges, depending on your selected attachment. Be sure that you insert the attachment into the bottom of the tool's "mouth" (the top should be solid orange) and avoid touching its blades as you do so.
- Get Cutting Board Ready
When you start cutting food with this tool, you'll need someplace to catch the pieces, so before you begin, you should get a cutting board ready in front of you. Alternatively, if you don't have a cutting board, or would rather not use one, you can get a bowl, a plate, or some other piece of kitchenware ready to catch the food that you'll slice.
- Place Food in Device
To begin cutting a particular food item, insert it in the tool's mouth, directly between the attachment you added and the more solid top. While holding onto the handle of the tool with your dominant hand, grab the front edge of the opposite end of the tool with the other hand. Following that, push the mouth closed so that the blades of the tool come in contact with the food inside. This will cause slices of food to fall onto your cutting board or alternative piece of kitchenware below.
- Repeat Process (optional)
Next, repeat the previous step to cut up as many pieces of food as you need to. If you slice any meat or dairy products, it's a good idea to rinse the tool with water each time you switch items, especially if you'll be cutting fruits or veggies afterward.
- Clean up
When you're done with your slicing tool for at least a little while, you can either rinse it in your sink or place it in the top rack of your dishwasher.
Features
- Compact
At about the same size as a hair straightener or electric curling iron, the Nutrichopper is a fairly compact kitchen tool. Furthermore, the handle on the end of each one is slim enough that your hand should feel comfortable while hanging onto it, but it's also thick enough to allow you to effectively control the tool.
- Orange and Black
This tool is mainly black, with orange attachments for slicing and orange accents on the top. The orange accents may allow you to spot the tool in seconds when you need to use it, even if it's being stored among a multitude of kitchen utensils.
- Human-Powered
The Nutrichopper is powered completely by the human hand, which means you'll never need batteries or electricity to operate yours. That means you'll be able to use it virtually anywhere, even if you have no batteries on hand and no access to an available outlet. Using it frequently also won't cause you to drive up your electricity bill.
- Interchangeable Attachments
The four attachments that each tool comes with can be switched back and forth in seconds. Each one will enable you to cut multiple pieces of food, from six thick slices to a total of 30 smaller cubes. Every blade within each attachment is made of stainless steel, which is commonly known as a sharp, high-quality type of material.
- Locks for Storage
You'll notice that on the top of your Nutrichopper, there's a small orange button that's shaped like a half-moon. If you push this button downward, you'll be able to lock your device when you store it away in a drawer (or anywhere else). That way, it won't unexpectedly fly open and cut someone's hand if they happen to pick it up, and the inside also won't end up covered in dust or dirt from the storage space.
Positive Points
- Slices Almost All Foods
Some human-powered slicing tools will only slice up fruits and vegetables, but the stainless steel blades that this one makes use of are powerful enough to cut almost all food items. You'll be able to slice up even hard cheeses and tough meats with this device, without causing its blades to bend or break. The only food items to avoid slicing with your Nutrichopper are bread products, frozen foods, and candy-style foods such as hard chocolate.
- Helps Keep Hands Clean
If you often try to cut up certain foods with a kitchen knife, you may have noticed that you've frequently ended up with juices (such as vegetable, fruit, or meat juice) on your hands. It's no fun to have your hands covered in liquid, especially if the liquid is sticky or has an unpleasant odor, but fortunately, your Nutrichopper will help you avoid that problem. When you're using this tool to cut food, the only time your hands will come in contact with the food is when you pick up a piece and add it to the device's mouth.
- Storage Container Included
Every Nutrichopper comes with a compact, transparent food storage container with a rectangular shape. If you're only chopping up a bit of food, you can even hold the tool directly over this container and let the food fall right into it. Each container also comes with an orange lid. If you make sure you press all four tabs down on the lid, this will help you preserve the original flavor and texture of any type of food that you store in your refrigerator.
Save Time
If you were to attempt to slice food directly into a salad bowl or a stovetop pot with a knife, the food may not end up where you want it to go. You'd likely end up wasting precious minutes of preparation time on collecting up stray bits of food and transferring them to the pot or bowl. On the other hand, if you use your Nutrichopper to chop food directly into a pot or bowl instead, the tool's design will cause the pieces of food to drop straight into the kitchenware. Therefore, using a cutting board for chopping or slicing purposes won't be necessary, and this will enable you to skip an entire step in a typical food preparation process.
