If I can make do without, it doesn&#8217;t make the cut. For years, I didn&#8217;t own a microwave. Even today, I still don&#8217;t own a real coffee pot.

That&#8217;s right. No matter how frazzled I get in the middle of a recipe, I can&#8217;t screw this up. Because, bonus: The button won&#8217;t even turn on if you haven&#8217;t assembled the three components (cup, blade, lid) correctly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/mini-food-chopper\/\" current-title=\"This Fuss-Free Mini Food Chopper Dices Ingredients in Seconds and Takes Up No More Space Than a Mug\" current-image=\"GettyImages-mini-food-chopper-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2023-03-21\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/mini-food-chopper\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/mini-food-chopper\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img decoding=\"async\" :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/mini-food-chopper\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\" class=\" js-inline-lazy-load\" src=\"\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>And this isn&#8217;t another tool that I need to find an outlet for when counter space is scarce. The chopper charges via a USB cord, then is completely portable. I only charge mine about once a month or so between uses. (Unsurprisingly, some shoppers report this feature makes this gadget ideal for camping and picnics.)<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1114477\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1114477\" style=\"width: 1170px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1114477 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"\" width=\"1170\" height=\"878\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG-9269_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1114477\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo: Author<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>But how well does it actually work? Because of the small size of the cups (it comes with two\u2014one 250 ml and one 100 ml), I do usually need to chop things like onions or peppers into smaller chunks before putting them inside or else they won&#8217;t fit, though I can pop garlic cloves right on in. Once the chopper is closed, all I need to do is press the button on the top and it starts dicing. I have found that I can&#8217;t stuff the cup overly full\u2014there&#8217;s only one speed, and it&#8217;s not powerful enough against serious resistance. But it can chop up a handful of veggies or herbs in just five or 10 seconds as long as there&#8217;s still some air inside. (The product says you can also mince boneless meat, but I&#8217;ve yet to try that.) This isn&#8217;t something you&#8217;d use to crush ice or blend up a smoothie. But when I need a handful of onions without crying all over the dish, I&#8217;ve found it&#8217;s <em>just right<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Once I&#8217;m done chopping comes maybe the biggest selling point for me: Clean-up is super easy. The three components smoothly slide apart for painless washing; even the top that powers the chopper is totally waterproof, which means I never dread using it. Just want a little fresh garlic? NBD. I can dice it up and be done with those dishes in less than a minute<em>. That&#8217;s<\/em> my kind of cooking.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
