Product Review: Black and Decker Handy Chopper

 

One of my all time favorite finds in kitchen gadgets has been the Black and Decker HandyChopper. I have terrible arthritis in my hands so chopping, dicing, and slicing are extremely difficult. I purchased this product and fell in love. I use it to chop chicken for all types of dishes as well as; onions, bell peppers, and all kinds of veggies. It has made my life so much easier because most of my dishes require this kind of precision. I can think of millions of things to make with it.


So if you are like me and have problems with your hands or wrists then this is definitely a gadget for you. It takes away the pain that is caused from using a knife and trying to muster the strength to press down for slicing
and dicing.
For all the benefits it provides, it is well worth the money. I paid about $15 for mine and it has truly been a lifesaver for me.

    Hi, I’m confused. I live in England I think we would call this a food processor.
    I’ve been looking for something that dices too due to my arthritis.
    I’m going to see if we have something similar here.
    Thanks.

    I’ve also been having trouble with arthritis in my hands limiting what I am able to do, but…..I began drinking a glass of pineapple juice every day (for a quite different reason.) I later read on the Web that doing so can make arthritis pain disappear, & I suddenly realised : I had not had the pain for a wee while! I have continued with the pineapple juice, & have continued to be pain-free. Apparently it is due to the bromelain which is in pineapples; it is certainly worth a go & cheaper than taking pills. (I had been advised to take Glucosamine with Chondroitin, but had a terrible reaction to it – apparently because of it being sourced from shellfish.)
    NB I have found if I use Pineapple & Mango, or Tropical, or some other combination of juices, I do get a reminder of the pain, so it looks like it needs to be 100% Pineapple to work.
