Why buy a food chopper or slicer?
Save your tears for another day. Food choppers and slicers are the fast track to neat, even prep. Dice onions, garlic and herbs in seconds, slice potatoes or cucumbers to a consistent thickness and keep the bench tidier along the way. They also take mid-menu meltdowns out of fiddly jobs, with compact designs that deliver plenty of prep power without the food processor palaver.
Your guide to choosing the right chopper or slicer
If you mostly want faster onions, garlic and herbs, go for a compact manual chopper: quick, simple and easy to grab for weeknight prep. Cooking for a crowd or batch-prepping veg? Choose larger-capacity choppers.
For wafer-thin potato slices, even cucumber rounds or julienne strips, a mandoline is the better buy. If you want one tool to tackle several jobs, pick a multi-blade set with interchangeable cutters and a hand guard. Spring-loaded choppers suit repetitive jobs where speed matters more than slice style.
Complete your kitchen tool kit
For complete benchside brilliance, add chopping boards for a proper prep base, grating and zesting tools for flavour-packed finishes, then recruit kitchen gadgets for handy helpers that shave time off the fiddly bits.

What is the difference between a chopper and a food processor?
A manual kitchen chopper is compact, power-free and best for quick dicing and smaller prep jobs. A food processor is larger, electric and better suited to bigger batches or jobs like mixing, shredding and dough.
