Of course, the egg actually won't take excessive prep work, but I've never found dicing a boiled egg to be a particularly onerous task to being with. Once you have the knife out, it's really a question of a minute or two more of chopping to get the job done. I didn't try them, but nearly all would require significant prep before use, like deseeding the pepper or slicing the carrot or chicken breast into small enough sections to fit on the blades.
The Chop Wizard also promises that it can cut up chicken, peppers, eggs, and even carrots, which would all probably be easier than the onion. And two of those dirty dishes were the very implements I was trying to avoid by using the Chop Wizard! (Not to mention it was a mess getting it out of the container and into a smaller bowl - onion bits everywhere.) Afterwards, I was left with four dirty dishes: the Chop Wizard (and all its various parts), the spatula, a knife, and a cutting board. The wet, freshly-diced onion clung to the plastic container, and I had to use a spatula to fully clean it. Even if you can excuse the extra effort it took to get diced onions, it was a pain to empty out the cartridge. Vidalia Chop Wizard), but I decided it wasn't worth it. I had originally planned to ask my roommate to do a head-to-head chopping challenge (traditional vs. Like, stand-on-my tippy-toes-to-really push-it-hard-enough kind of force. I pulled away the larger outside layers, and with a little bit more elbow grease, was able to get it through.įor the second half, I quartered it and was able to dice it much easier, though it still took a fair amount of force. Even though it fit on the square, as I pushed down, the onion spread out a little bit, making it too big to go through. I'm not super strong, but, like, I do go to barre classes, you know? I examined the semi-squashed onion I had created and realized it was too big. And, voila, perfectly diced onions.Īfter putting the first half onion on the blades, I pressed and pressed and pressed. After that, simply place the onion, cut-side down, over the square metal grid and press down. To use the Vidalia Chop Wizard, you slice the onion in half, then remove the root end and skin. Perfectly diced onions in seconds, no sobbing required? It was worth a whirl. So when I first saw the Vidalia Chop Wizard, I was hopeful. Apparently, wearing contacts or glasses can help mitigate the affects of the tear-inducing chemicals a sliced onion lets off, but I have 20/20 vision, and chopping away in sunglasses didn't do enough good to make it worth my newly-darkened eyesight. Now, I want onions (and lots of them) on everything. I took a huge bite, thus beginning a love affair with the root vegetable. Feeling cozier and cozier (and hungrier and hungrier), by the time the burger arrived piled high with grilled onions, nothing had ever looked so good to me. On a blisteringly windy, cold winter day, I took shelter from the outdoors with my friend at a gastropub and ordered a burger. Raw, roasted, caramelized, fried - I would push them around on my plate in horror.
