There's nothing like enjoying a home-cooked meal, but the preparation that goes into creating a delicious dish from scratch can seem daunting. It takes a lot of time to slice up potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, avocados, and everything else you need for dinner. Plus, the tears and discomfort that follow cutting onions and peppers quickly takes the joy out of cooking. But the right appliances and gadgets can make meal prepping easier and give you back your time.

The chopper comes with a BPA-free food container and several blades that mince, chop, slice, or grate just about anything. There are three chopping grids in different sizes and five interchangeable blades for slicing, julienning, grating, and shredding your produce and garnishes into perfect bite-sized bits for any recipe. It's finally possible to get ultra-thin cucumber slices for salads and homemade tzatziki sauce.
Shoppers insist you don't need to be a culinary expert to use this food cutter. First, cut the ends of your produce off, then cut it into chunks that are the appropriate size for your chosen chopping grid. Place the vegetable flat on the grid, apply some pressure to close the lid over the grid, and you've diced it all up in seconds.
