Slap Chop is a mechanical food chopper that slices, dices, or chops many foods. It is necessary to cut, or trim the food to be chopped to a size that will fit in the compartment at the bottom of the Slap Chop. In addition to working as advertised, we found the product is easy to clean - it opens up as advertised with the ‘butterfly’ action of the main body. This exposes the blades for easy cleaning. The more you slap, the finer (minced) the pieces. This product Works as Advertised.
