 Dicer for vegetablesJul 30, 2010
When used properly, excellent. Must cut onion etc in half, lean over to put your weight into it. Pieces are uniform, clean up is easy w/removable divider. Fast when pieces aren't too big.

 chopper that doesnt chopJun 27, 2010
So this is onion chopper makes it so hard to chop that I gave up and just used a knife instead. I tries it on tomatoes thinking it was to weak for onions lets try something sfter, big mistake. This is the worst kitchen product I have ever purchased.

i like THIS chopper !Jun 20, 2010
this chopper was a gift about 6 years ago, i didn't know what i was missing! i wouldnt ever want to be without THIS chopper again, NOR would i want any of the others. {i personelly wouldnt like the "box' in my way, and the extra cleaning] i have used this chopper an enormous amout of times, made HUGH amounts of potato salad, potato soup, etc., and have found this is very sturdy plastic that stands up to the quick motion that it takes to cut LOTS of onions in a hurry. the strong, razer sharp, stainless steel grid has not dulled any, even threw all that i have put it threw. it has a 'leaf' that sits in place during use-- when finished, you simply lift it out and it has completely cleaned the chopping area, then it is quickly washed. DO keep fingers from sliding across the chopping grid, it WILL cut you! good for so much more than onions, thats just what i mostly use it for. but if onions were ALL i ever used it for, it would be indispensable to me! the box said '2004, made in sweden' NOTE that it seems to work better if the onions are cut in 4 sections, and the sections are set close to the edge nearest the hinge, seems to have more cutting power and the sections stay in place better during the quick action of closing -- also, you don't have a mess if you 'cup' your other hand over the area that the onions come up threw,--and your hand is already there to brush them into your pan. although mine is exactly like this one,--mine came from a retail store & cost $29.95 & tax.

Great for shallots for Indian cookingMay 16, 2010
In my experience the garlic version is what Brit cooks would term "brilliant" but this onion version is problematic. It certainly can't manage other veggies like bell peppers at all. It doesn't stay sharp enough to cut onions easily, and they go flying if one doesn't palm them as they eject.
Enter ingredient substitutions, and Indian cooking. This alligator does a phenomenal job of cutting shallots.
By analogy, unless you grow your own celery and pick it young, celery is actually a ghastly ingredient. And one ends up with half a dozen stalks after buying a bunch for one recipe. What's that about!? Fennel is more expensive, but a far superior vegetable sold in single recipe quantities. Once I started making this substitution, my wife forbade me to ever go back.
I've been to India. Their onions look more like large shallots than the monstrous onions sold in the U.S. We usually substitute large shallots for onions in any Indian recipe, akin to the fennel substitution for western cooking. Every time I forget and use onions, the results taste muddy and off in a way I can't place, till I remember. Perhaps a chemist can explain this; I just need the conclusion.
To stop using either onions or celery does require an indifference to convention. I do use them in stock...

 Flimsy and MessySep 22, 2009
The Alligator is flimsy. It barely cuts half of an onion even with my entire 115-pound weight pressing on it and I felt like it was going to break; and when I am able to cut through half of an onion, the onion bits fly out all over the place so it becomes messy. And then cleaning is hard because onion pieces get stuck in the grids so you need something pointy to press the onions pieces out. Then after two uses, the two pieces fell apart. I will be returning this.
