Indian cooking needs a lot of chopping, dicing, and cutting of onions, tomatoes, ginger, and garlic. A manual chopper allows you to do all this in a jiffy, without any effort or the need to pull out the mixer-grinder for simple everyday stuff. We diced and sliced for over three weeks in four different home kitchens and in our review lab to find efficient manual choppers.

There is a wide variety of brands available in this segment. We believe these choppers are best utilized by a small family, with the number ranging from two to five family members. Manual choppers save a lot of time in the kitchen, these are easy to wash and clean, and many brands now offer value-for-money products that you can use for months to make your time in the kitchen productive efficient.
How We Picked The Brands
There is a wide variety of brands available in this segment. We categorized brands that come under 1000/- and picked the variants between 300 and 500 ml. We believe these choppers are best utilized by a small family, with the number of family members ranging from 2 to 5. Beyond this family size, we believe most would prefer to go for electric choppers or even food processors that do more than just chop and dice.
How We Tested
Once all 10 vegetable choppers were with us, we shared them with four different households who used them for a period of two to three weeks on rotation. This was crucial because durability should be an important benchmark, and observations from someone using these on a daily basis would be valuable. We took their feedback into account, and also tested all 10 vegetable choppers in our lab for a week. We used these to chop onions and tomatoes, separately as well as together.
Parameters
The parameters to judge these vegetable choppers included noise, effort, color/look, and any other USP or differentiation they had to offer.
