Salsa Maker, Meals Chopper, Mixer and Blender – Salsa Grasp Guide Meals Processor

Best salsa maker ever!
I first bought one of these salsa makers at the State Fair about 25 years ago, where they were demonstrating them by making pico de gallo, which was the best I had ever tasted. I have been using one ever since. It makes the best pico de gallo/salsa. It’s so easy and convenient to use and you can quickly mix up a batch of your favorite kind in no time. I also use it to chop up all kinds of vegetables (onions, tomatoes, celery, lettuce, cabbage) to use in soups, coleslaw, chopped salads, hashbrowns, tuna and egg salad, omelettes, relishes, dressings, etc. I have had ones with bigger bowls, but prefer the smaller one. It’s easier to use with smaller batches instead of cramming too much in the bowl. That puts a lot of stress on the maker and if it’s too full, it is difficult to turn. At times I have put probably too much in the bowl, and with continual use, it eventually cracked. I honestly think it was because of the stress that I was putting on the bowl by trying to chop too much at once and the vegetables were probably in too big of pieces,. So I’ve since learned that you cut the portions down and chop up in smaller batches. Some veggies need to be cut down or quartered before you put in. I use mine all of the time. I do hand wash mine instead of putting it in the dishwasher. If I have used it a lot, and I’ve had a lot of shredded items chopped up in the bowl, I will soak the lid in water to just make sure it cleans out all the nooks and crannies. I have never had trouble with any of the blades going dull, and mine have stayed very very sharp, and you do have to be careful when you are washing the unit that you don’t cut your fingers. The salsa master that I have just purchased here appears to be a very fine quality, it is durable, it works perfectly, and it appears to me that it will last a long time. I’ve already made several batches of salsa, mixed up some coleslaw, chopped up vegetables for soup, and chopped up onions and tomatoes and jalapeños for a relish that I like to put on my hotdogs and hamburgers. The salsa maker has become a regular part of my kitchen routine and there are endless possibilities for its use. I will never be without one and this one works perfectly.

Great little chopper for making small batches of salsa
I bought this because I love the salsa you can get in restaurants, but I’m not a fan of the jarred stuff you get in the grocery stores. I grow my own tomatoes and peppers so this is wonderful for a quick batch of fresh salsa. Now that it’s winter, I decided to try making salsa with canned, peeled, whole tomatoes and store bought peppers. I really didn’t think it would be very good but it came out surprisingly tasty using my little chopper. Maybe not quite as good as homegrown but still very good and even faster to make since I didn’t have to peel my own tomatoes!It only makes small amounts at a time, probably enough for 2 people, but it’s very fast so not a big deal to make more to serve a group. Also you still have to cut your food into smaller chunks to fit in here, so don’t expect to just throw whole onions or tomatoes in here. This is very simple to put together and take apart for cleaning, but the blade is quite sharp so be careful when handling it. I like that you can choose how chunky or how fine you want the food to be chopped, versus with a food processor which mainly makes “salsa soup”.Altogether, I was impressed with how well this works and how inexpensive it is.

Worked perfectly
I the blades are very sharp. It chopped my veggies in a third of the time. The only down fall is that a handle didn’t come with it. That makes it a little harder to operate. I will still use it as is and like I said it took my prep time to a third. Quick shipping.

Saves a lot of time and because it’s hand operated you can easily get the the right amount of chunkiness you want.

I love this. Instead of paying lots for an electric one, I tried this handheld food processor. It chops an onion in 30 seconds, and makes great coleslaw. My only complaint is that the hummus was slightly lumpy, but I plan to tweak the recipe, and hopefully it will be smoother. Definitely a thumbs up.
