Meat sauce, croquette, dumplings on hamburger steak. What they all have in common is ... yes, "chopped". Delicious foods tend to contain chopped ingredients. But it's a hassle to cut it by yourself, and it also smells in your hands ...

So I bought NITORI's "chopped machine". It is an item that you can easily chop by putting a lid on a container with a blade containing ingredients and turning the lid left and right. The price was 514 yen including tax.

NITORI chopped device

Whether it's really easy to use, I chopped various ingredients from small to large, hard to soft! As a result, it turned out that there are some that fit and some that do not.

Ingredients cut well

·Carrots
I cut one in half and cut it. There is a heavy response at first.


In the course of 30 seconds ... 1 minute ... 2 minutes ... the carrots, which were half of the carrots, became finer and finer, and finally they were finely chopped! However, the size is a little uneven.


By the way, even if I tried using coarsely cut carrots, there was still some unevenness.

・ Onions
I was able to chop them finely and smoothly, probably because they are softer than carrots.



After all, there is some unevenness in size, but I think that there is no particular problem because I chop the onions and fry them after this.

・ Garlic
Is it too small to use? I thought, but as I turned the lid many times, I was able to chop it properly.



Some large grains may remain, so if you are concerned about uneven taste when cooking, you may want to cut it by hand. Personally, I thought it was a level that I could use enough.


・ Lettuce
I cut it comfortably with Spapapan! It can be cut into small pieces, so it's perfect for taco rice.



Looking at this, I think that the leaves can be chopped relatively easily. I'm sure cabbage too.

・ Boiled egg
When I tried one whole boiled egg, it became finer!



Aside from the white meat, I was worried whether the yolk would be cut properly, but it was chopped without any problem so that it could be mixed with the potato salad.

Ingredients that did not cut well

・ Tomato
I can cut it, but it's so moist that it's sticky.



It is not suitable for topping in salad as it is. However, it may be good for meat sauce!

・ Avocado
I was wondering if it was soft, but it was cut as it was. But…



The shape is different and it becomes too fine, so it may be better to dice yourself to enjoy the texture of the avocado.

That is all. As an aside, when I made taco rice with cut ingredients, it was really delicious. If you stir-fry it, you won't be worried about uneven size!





Finally, the advantage of this product is that it doesn't stain your hands and doesn't smell (although you need to wash and peel it). Needless to say, it is convenient for people who are not good at kitchen knives. It's also nice to be able to ask your family to chop this while the knife and chopping board are occupied.

On the other hand, the disadvantage is that your hands get tired if you turn it around until it becomes finer. People who are accustomed to handling kitchen knives may find it easier and faster to chop themselves.

By the way, the key to mastering the chopping device is to turn the lid vigorously and shake the container several times in the middle to disperse the ingredients inside. Please refer!
