description

Kitchen utensil for chopping vegetables. There is a wide variety of shapes. The cut can be rectangular or rounded; the handle can be attached to the top of the blade - horizontally like a crank or connected to the blade at one or both ends - but can also be in line with the blade. In the latter case, the knife resembles the meat cleaver, but it is lighter.

The vegetable chopper is always used in combination with a chopping block or a wooden bowl or porringer.

See also the mincing knife. [MOT]
