The Kuhn Rikon Pull Chop is a compact manual food chopper designed for home cooks who want fast vegetable and fruit prep without electricity or bulky appliances. Perfect for busy kitchens, it handles onions, peppers, celery, garlic, nuts and even cooked meats like chicken for salads, turning meal prep into a quick task.
Standout features include ultra-sharp stainless steel blades that rotate with cord pulls for customizable results: few pulls for coarse chunks, more for fine dices ideal for dips or sauces. Users rave about its speed and precision, often chopping mirepoix or herbs evenly in seconds, outperforming slap-style choppers with less effort and sharper cuts that last longer.
Build quality shines with a sturdy polypropylene body, non-slip base for stability, and safety blade protectors. The 650ml green container is dishwasher-safe except the lid, which wipes clean easily. Swiss engineering ensures reliability, backed by a 3-year guarantee.
Drawbacks include its small size, best for 1-2 servings, and occasional sticking if overloaded. Pre-cut items are needed for best results.
Verdict: A must-have for efficient, no-fuss chopping. Highly recommended for everyday use where quality and simplicity matter.
