Here at Delish, we love cooking (obviously), but we're always looking for tools that help cut down on prep time. Dicing vegetables can be meditative, sure, but what if you're in a rush—or if chopping a mountain of onions makes you weep buckets? Whether you're whipping up the ultimate jalapeño-spiked salsa, garlicky bruschetta, hearty beef goulash, or creamy sour cream and onion dip, a good food chopper can make life a whole lot easier.

Not only that, but food choppers come in handy if your knife skills leave something to be desired. (No judgement!) Does your recipe call for a brunoise cut? The super fine dice, a classic cut in French cuisine, is beautiful but time consuming to achieve. You could spend an hour painstakingly chopping your ingredient into tiny squares—or, enlist a a good food chopper to do it for you.

Lucky for you, we've researched the best of the best food choppers on the market to save you time (and tears) and make prep time a little more enjoyable. Happy chopping!

When making this list, we scoured the internet and pored through reviews to pick the very best food choppers. We considered a few different factors, such as whether they're easy to use and clean. We also made sure to include a wide variety of different-sized products, including both manual and electric models, some of which also almost double as food processors. Our picks also operate in different ways whether at the push of a button, the pull of a cord, or by repeatedly pushing the top down. No matter what you're looking for, we've got it, so check out our very best picks for food choppers.
