Choppers / Graters / Slicers
Electric appliances such as food processors can accomplish a large range of food preparation tasks. However, they tend to be quite expensive, bulky, and cumbersome to set up and clean, making them too much bother for smaller kitchen tasks. Fortunately, there are a variety of manually operated machines which can chop, slice, julienne, or grate foods which can make everyday kitchen tasks a pleasure to complete rather than a chore, including several types known as mandolines.
