Fullstar Vegetable Chopper | Complete Review + New Methods | KGC 21

[@BrendaBurl]

Thank you for this excellent review and demonstration. With all the cutting and prep of the veggies beforehand, it's convinced me that I really don't need one of these in my life. If I have to do all that prep, I'd just as soon as keep on going and chop it on the board. One board to clean, one knife to clean. Not countless little pieces with extremely dangerous blades. Thank you for helping me make my decision.

[@HappyHealthyWife]

You're welcome. Glad I could help you make a decision.

[@dannyd8625]

I also thank him for the exact same reason. I was wondering if he had to cut it into such small pieces to use the device, why not just keep cutting? I get he's doing a review. Again I thank him for it. Just that I'm looking for something ya can put the whole onion, potato, or whatever in there and have it diced.

[@sverd3901]

You went above and beyond for this review, thank you so much!

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DeeMac-zn6kh]

I love the tip you shared on how to chop the cilantro!

[@HappyHealthyWife]

I have to admit, I stole the idea from a comment in my previous review of the same chopper. Works like a charm.

[@elizabethruiz316]

Very good tip!

[@elizabethruiz316]

I receive the 4 piece set as a gift. It works for me just when I am making pico de gallo or when I want fine cubes of potatoes, tomatoes, onions or other veggies. I never use the spirilizer.

[@TheLastGen]

Wow! This review is incredible. I bought one a day ago and this convinced me to return it. Watching you use the spiralizer gave me anxiety. I thought your fingers were going to get cut. Way too much work and plastic parts. I thought it would be a cleaner way to make salads but you still have to use a cutting board and prep. Thanks for this review!!! Best one the internet.

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Your words are too kind. Glad I could help.

[@SilverIlly]

[@juns597]

Seems much easier to chop by hand! Thanks for the review 🙂

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Glad you found the review helpful. The chopper certainly isn't for everyone.

[@gogreengameon2146]

The mistake with the spiralising is that you're inserting the courgette/zucchini at 45 degrees when it should be 90 degrees (the gripper should be parallel with the top surface). Then there will be much less wastage, or none, if you don't count the bit right under the gripper.

[@robinholbrook6576]

Great demo and I LOVE your humor! You made me chuckle out loud!!!! 😃

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the content.

[@rerikm]

thank you for helping me avoid the trouble of ordering through amazon, test it and return it the next day. There's absolutely no way I'd peel and slice my tomato's just to prep them for this thing 😂😂

[@victoryoverheresy9417]

I wish I would have watched this before I bought it 😢 thanks so much for your honest review

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Sorry to hear you are having buyer's remorse. Maybe you can return it for a refund.

[@Snoogable]

Right out of the gates I lost interest because the chopper area is so small that it requires you to cut vegs into small chunks to use it. Wouldn't save me enough time to be worthwhile. I'd be interested in a larger version.

[@spookfella]

Lmao the house exploding I did not expect that. Thank you for the thorough review.

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Glad you enjoyed the review and the humor.

[@Bill23799]

Thanks for the great review. I think the problem most people have with this type of chopper is " Chopper Timidity ". You have to SLAM that blade down like you mean it people. Your video helped me decide on this model, thanks.

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Nice to hear somebody appreciating the comedy in the review.

[@ST52655]

I just bought a Fullstar mini vegetable chopper. My husband and I are empty nesters, so I don’t need a bigger one. I don’t need a juicer or an egg separator. My model just chops, slices and juliennes, which is enough for me.

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Yep. Don't buy more than you need is a good rule of thumb

[@bee3027]

A lot of these gadgets are not that impressive when you go to use them, but this looks awesome!

[@ademeyer]

This was actually really helpful - I had the same experience with cilantro

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Glad I could be of service.

[@kitkat5781]

I am legally blind. For me, this chopper will work well as I can see enough to not go too close to the blades.

[@Tugboat-R-Us]

I like these bc I do feel that they control the size of what you’re chopping. For cilantro, I don’t think I would use a chopper.

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Excellent choice!

[@XThreeZeroThreeX]

Jesus, are you trying to break the thing 😂

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Hasn't broken yet, and I have been using that method for over 2 years as I have found that a quick force helps the blades cut your vegetables better than slowly added pressure. Just take a look at the struggle I faced when slicing the potatoes for French Fries.

[@princess3193]

@@HappyHealthyWife well that's if u want bent fries! 😂 Wow 2 yrs without breaking is great! Do you use it often?

[@HappyHealthyWife]

@@princess3193 I probably use it about 1-2 times per week, 2 - 10 poundings per use.

@@HappyHealthyWife Thanks for responding. That's pretty good. I ordered one last night during the Prime special. I hope it lasts like yours! Some reviews on Amazon say that it broke rather quickly.

Show how to take the pusher off the white press

[@HappyHealthyWife]

You gotta pull it out from the black tab.

[@anonamatron]

Seems like they need to make the blade square big enough for a full onion.

[@HappyHealthyWife]

That would be nice. But even if they did, I would probably still slice off the edges to get a more square dice instead of a rectangle dice.

[@robinholbrook6576]

And how big is a "full" onion??? Many onions, many sizes...

[@anonamatron]

@@robinholbrook6576 if you don't know what people mean when they say "an onion" I think you need to get out more.

[@AmitChristian]

Super video. Loved the Cilantro trick. Do you have any tricks for fine chopping of garlic+ginger root?

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Glad you liked the cilantro trick, I learned about it from a commenter on a previous video. For garlic and ginger root, I would either use a micro plane or a fine cheese grater. I haven't seen a chopper blade fine enough to do the job. You might also consider a garlic press.

[@markusfederico8732]

Just cut it in thin slices and put the slices in the chopper.

[@pampoovey6722]

I'd be happy to receive one of these as a gift, but I don't know if I could be fussed with this. I'd probably prefer a nice knife.

[@nosynosee3835]

If anyone would like an easy way to separate the yolk from the egg white. I’ve done this to make meringue with no trouble, so I know it’s good and it’s very easy. Simply get a tiny bowl, crack the egg into it, and with a regular spoon scoop up the yolk. Then add the egg white to your working bowl. This is perfect for making a meringue because if you mess up, you’re only messing up the one egg in the tiny bowl.

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Great tip

[@Booklivre]

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a fitting tight lid for the FullStar Vegetable Chopper’s container ( catch tray ) !?!

[@HappyHealthyWife]

That is a nice idea. I've seen other vegetable choppers with them. Maybe you can contact Fullstar and see if they are willing to make one. I've tried contacting them before, but have not gotten a response.

[@lovewenwin]

I want a veggie chopper to make more pico de gallo

[@fastcarfastbike]

great video i would say the deluxe model is worth it. why? i dont have a juicer, spiraler, ribboner, egg mandolin/murshoom mandolin.... so do i need a chopper? yeah, but all those other things i have none of. so rather than buy 3 or 4 other things, its worth it my scenario for example

[@HappyHealthyWife]

In your case, you may find that the extra tools are worth the extra price.

Does it work with hard carrots?

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Yes, yes it does. Just not hard sweet potatoes.

[@darkwolfe6986]

Looks great, but still can't understand why you got to cut or slice or unpeel the food in the first place. At the point, might as well just keep chopping by hand 😅

[@HappyHealthyWife]

I mainly use this device to chop up onions (I hate tearing up), make pico de gallo and chop up vegetables to use in pot pies and soups at this point. Otherwise, I'll use a knife.

Does it come with a French fry cutter? Please answer

[@HappyHealthyWife]

The version I used does not come with a French fry cutter. They have a mandolin which will cut French fries, but the chopper is mostly for chopping.

[@rubyrain8866]

This was helpful, thank you!

[@HappyHealthyWife]

You're welcome!

[@nancykraus7027]

I want to see the mandolin. Tried tomatoes. Maybe didn’t use it right

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Hi Nançy, the firmer the tomato, the easier it will chop. The softer, the easier it will smash it and squirt out the juices everywhere. As least, that has been my experience. I had a separate mandoline, so I didn't get one with the chopper. I would rather not want to try and guess as to the quality of their mandoline.

[@robinholbrook6576]

I'm waiting for the mandolin! I had the Cordon Bleu one but it scared me!!! Lol

[@shellyhuckabay3819]

Will this spiralize potatoes?

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Absolutely as long as you get the one with the spiralizer attachment. Never thought of doing that. Would make some great thin fries.

[@TruthSeekerAi]

my dude was showing that thing no mercy he was handling it like you wish you could without breaking it right off the rip

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Hasn't broken yet. And as the blades get dull, I'm finding myself pounding harder and harder

[@vanessacrystalconsciousnes7156]

This was very helpful thank you

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@blueskythinking8312]

Can you chop beans using this thing?

[@HappyHealthyWife]

If the beans are dry, I don't think the chopper would be able to cut through them. If the beans were soaked first, then it might work to cut through them, but you might need to place something hard and flat over top of them like a bell pepper as I do for herbs. So I would guess that this device wouldn't be the best for chopping beans.

[@sidserna8953]

I can chop cilantro 10x faster without all the gymnastics and cleaning up the machine.

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Sounds good. Then I guess you don't need a vegetable chopper to chop your cilantro.

[@inkspirationaldesign]

Not good for fist to bang. Plus it's faster you cut by hand unless you're cutting something like 10kg

[@HappyHealthyWife]

Yes, I'm wondering how long it will last when I bang it like that. And, yes for most things it is faster to cut them by using a knife. I still like it for onions, making salsa, making French fries, and carrots/celery/onions for when I make soup.

[@utkalpattnayak1928]

Rate what

[@JazzyPhay15]

Why are my apples not cubing?!😩

[@HappyHealthyWife]

To make cubes, the apples need to be sliced before putting them into the chopper. Slice the apple so that the slices are the same width as the squares in the blades. About 1/2 inch thick slices for the medium dicer and 1/4 inch thick for the fine dicer.
