Do you not already have a kitchen knife?

@johnfrum I have

It's just that the store doesn't have

Knives

Get some sharpening stones

you will never need whiskystones and that steelshot glass either

also that engraver is shit

chopper is decent unlike john said

chopper eases up simple stuff A LOT but is not replacement to knife

sometimes i wish i had chopper

for shit tons of garlic,chilies,shallots i need to chop

its just way faster to throw 5-6 habaneros inside one with couple garlics and bang it good half minute or so

Just spring for 20 bucks more for a mini food processor.

you really want to clean food processor everytime and search for outlet ?

Doubles as a spice grinder

no thanks

but you are not wrong for large large patches processor is better

but lets say 4-8 person meal, chopper is equivalent if you dont want make mush out of your indegrients

Thing is once you get to the manual chopper you are in a silly in between spot where you need less then a mini processors amount and a knife. At that point , just get his with a knife

Get good

yeah its all what you need it for

i tend to make large patches at home so chopper would come handy.. but years of kitchen work make me do it with hand anyway

but for most "startters" in kitchen chopper is good option for lazy days and incase they need larger patches

depends also ofc if you have cupboard space to stash it

Chean up and overall cabinet space isnt much worse though.

yeah

tho i have seen very very poor kitchens on some single room apartments and cell-apartments

where your roommates each have like single shelf for your stuff

then it matters if what you have~

but chopper is 50-50 buy .. its for need not for "maybe i need it"

as if you doubt it .. it will end up just gathering dust

There's always just one person who actually cooks in that scenario.

we had 3/4 :D

needed to get second freezer for all the stuff

in the end startted just making shared patches so each one of us cooked for everyone on their turn

food cost dropped back then around 60% too

Sounds comfy, once was roommates with a big hunter. Always had a couple rabbits or venison in the freezer, in exchange for meat I cooked for him.

i was the "hunter" in this case

had friends who sold me forest mushrooms for shit cheap and stuff

couple of farmers as friend and 1 butcher from family connections

good shit back then
