Characteristics of reliable vegetable cutters
When buying a kitchen assistant for cutting food, it is important to distinguish between 2 types of appliances:
- Manual. They have the form of a press or a plate with a set of nozzles for various shredding options. Cutting requires physical effort.
- Electrical. Looks like a miniature electric food processor where cutting is done automatically
Reliable manual vegetable cutters are selected based on the following criteria and characteristics:
- material and build quality (plastic options are less durable than iron ones)
- safety (reliably fastened connections and components are the key to convenient work)
- number of nozzles (the more of them, the wider the functionality of the device)
- the presence of a container (chopped products fall immediately into the container, and not on the cutting board)
- manufacturer and price (in this case, it makes no sense to pay more just for the brand, however, too cheap units should alert)
