Troubleshooting Your Food Chopper: Tips and Solutions for Common Issues

[pamperedpnina]

at my party last night my food chopper was not working

its been giving me issues at home maybe you guys can tell me what I'm doing wrong.

Things keep getting stuck!!! for example at the show yesterday I was trying to chop apples and the whole piece just got stuck between the blades.

last week when I was trying to chop chocolate same thing happened.

is it broken or am I dont something wrong?

Do you have all the pieces in place? It sounds like you're missing the little plastic guide that goes over the blades.

Sometimes that happens if I don't bang hard enough on it.

Sometimes if the pieces you put it in are really large or on the harder side (like chocolate), they get caught up in the blades and you have to spank it a bit to get them out. A few really hard & fast chops will do it.

I love that you have to "spank it"! I never, never thought of it like that but it's so true. Now I am picturing "spanking" my food chopper to make it give me back the food. Too funny!
