The Oxo good grips chopper is very easy to use and makes light work of chopping a variety of vegetables. I regularly cook so chopping can be a chore. This gadget made it quick and easy to prepare food, especially when a finer dice was required. The only reason I haven't given the chopper 5 stars is that you sometime have to remove the top and reposition larger pieces of vegetables. This is not too onerous however, and I would recommend this product to my friends.
