Zyliss Zick-Zick Food Chopper

The Zick-Zick is specifically designed to be used directly on a cutting board. While you could technically use it over a bowl, the design works best when the base is flush against a flat, stable surface to ensure the blades engage properly.

Not at all. The unit is dishwasher safe, and the blade cover is removable, which makes it easy to rinse off any food residue before putting it in the machine.

Yes, it is built to handle firm fruits and vegetables. However, for very hard items, we recommend cutting them into smaller, manageable chunks first to get the best results from the rotating stainless steel blades.

The storage cup attaches to the bottom of the chopper to catch your ingredients as you process them. It also comes with a lid, allowing you to store any unused chopped ingredients directly in the fridge without needing extra containers.

No, this is a fully manual tool. It relies on a simple, efficient pump-action mechanism that requires no power, making it a great, reliable option for any kitchen setup.

The consistency depends on how many times you press the handle. A few quick pumps will give you a rough chop, while continuing to press will result in a finer dice.
