scrapper chopper

Common materials include stainless steel and various plastics. Specific plastic components listed in some items are ABS, silicone and nylon.

They cover a wide range: bench/dough scrapers cut, portion and transfer dough or chopped ingredients, while choppers and food processors can chop, mince, slice, shred, puree and—depending on attachments—even knead dough.

Built-in bowl scrapers keep ingredients close to the blades so you don’t have to stop and manually scrape, reduce buildup on the bowl sides, and promote more even processing.

Compact choppers and smaller processors often list mid-range motor powers; examples shown include about 350 watts and 450 watts for compact models.

Common types include bench/dough scrapers for cutting, measuring and transferring dough; compact manual or stackable choppers for small batches; and multi-function food processors that chop, slice, shred and puree, often with scraper attachments.

Bench scrapers are shown at around 6 × 4 inches. Choppers and processors range from small 3-cup mini choppers up to larger 64-ounce (8-cup) or 10-cup bowls, depending on model.

Look for engraved or etched measuring guides or quarter-inch markings for portioning, a straight edge for cutting, a tall profile to keep hands away when shaping, and comfortable non-slip handles for control.

Common features include rubberized or soft non-slip handles, BPA-free materials for some handles, tall profiles that keep hands away from food, and heat-resistant nylon heads on certain manual choppers.

Typical inclusions are stainless-steel chopping blades, reversible slicing and shredding discs, adjustable slicing discs, dough blades, built-in bowl scrapers, and often a storage case for attachments.
