Black & Decker HC3000 Handy Chopper Food Chopper

Comment: When my chopper arrived it was broken. I need to know how I can return it for a brand new one.

Comment: This little chopper is the handiest kitchen machine I own. It does most of the work of a blender while occupying much less counter space, costing far less, and being way easier to clean. I bought this one after my previous one wore out after about 15 years. Dollar for dollar it is the best kitchen buy I have ever made.

Comment: This handy little thing will have a permanent place on my kitchen counter. I have always hated food processors because they were difficult to clean and had too many parts. This one only has three parts and it cleans up in seconds. This is the perfect size for making dips or cooking for one or two people. It chops onions and peppers without tears for soups and chili and it can puree to make smooth cucumber dressings, dips, etc.

My favorite recipe:

Hummus Wrap, makes three servings

1 can white beans, rinsed and drained
6 teaspoons fat free sour cream
3 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon black pepper
3 6-inch sun-dried tomato tortillas or wraps
1 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach
3/4 cup jarred roasted red peppers

Place the beans, sour cream, lemon juice, oregano, and black pepper into the chopper and pulse until a course paste is made. Spoon the mixture into the center of the wrap and top with the spinach and red peppers. Fold 2 of the sides inward and roll to form a burrito. Healthy, low-fat and delicious. Taks only about 5 minutes to make.

Comment: I would have liked it if the product had an push button that chopped without me holding it down however, I can cut up small amounts to do what I need to do and for the cost it should have been just a little cheaper.

Comment: This chopper is so small that it's hard to pour things into it. The lid is very hard to take on and off, and you'll have to take it on and off a lot b/c you won't be able to chop all your food at one time. I'll be buying a new one soon.
