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
lived like kings
now that i have leaved kitchen world behind i tend to go cheaper/comfyer route for food mostly
