Choppers and crushers will save you a lot of time and effort when cooking. With a good tool, you can safely cut all kinds of fruits and veggies in seconds. You can also easily process hard foodstuffs such as nuts, seeds, or ice. Read on to learn how to choose the best appliance for your needs.

Choppers are best used for soft foods
Choppers allow you to cut vegetables into small or large pieces, depending on what you need. The chopped pieces remain rich with juice, making them tastier. If you like breaded cutlets or fillets, you can use a chopper to get delicious homemade breadcrumbs. Some choppers can also crush ice, but they are nor specifically made for it.
Crushers are an all-purpose tool
Crushers are mainly used for crushing ice. However, they can just as easily process any other food. Hard nuts, seeds, herbs or fruits – everything goes. Compared to a chopper, the crusher processes soft foods in an instant and into much smaller pieces, making it more suitable for preparing puree than for slicing veggies.

Fruit crushers are appliances designed for fast processing of large amount of fruit. They ensure the maximum juice yield during the subsequent pressing, which makes them popular among gardeners and orchard keepers.
Choosing the right choppers and crushers
The range of devices is wide and diverse, so here’s what you should focus on when buying:
Power consumption determines the device performance
Power consumption indicates how much electricity the appliance uses and also affects its performance. 100 W is enough for processing fresh fruit and vegetables; all-purpose choppers and crushers require a power input of around 300 W.
Pay attention to the container volume
Choppers come with a handy container, usually glass or plastic. The choice of container volume is relatively broad. Consider in advance what you will use the device for most often. A container of up to 500 ml is enough to chop onions, but if you want to make a full vegetable salad you will need a volume of at least 1 litre.
Choose the material
The body of choppers and ice crushers is usually plastic, while their blades are made of high-quality stainless steel. The more blades the chopper has, the easier it is to process food. Appliances generally have 2-4 blades, which is sufficient.
The appliance should be portable and easy to maintain. Take note whether the individual parts can be washed in the dishwasher.
Choppers can have interesting special functions and features
Some models offer more speed settings, a TURBO button for extra fast chopping, or a practical blade that makes it easier for you to whip cream or egg whites. A non-slip pad is also a neat bonus. You will also find appliances designed for processing of a specific type of food. Examples are:
Vegetable choppers will find their use in any kitchen. Making salads has never been easier.
Bread slicers ensure that each slice has a perfect thickness.
Dumpling slicers will quickly prepare everybody's favourite side dish both in a restaurant or at home.
