Black & Decker EHC650

This Black & Decker EHC650 3-cup 2-speed Food Chopper seems like receiving a good number of praises and commendations from the users. They have acclaimed its easy maneuverability and its easy-to-clean attributes. Besides, they have also averred that this 150-watt food chopper is delivering marvelous results day in and day out.

For all practical purposes, all the detachable parts of this Black & Decker EHC650 3-cup 2-speed Food Chopper are dishwasher-safe. More importantly, this food processor is designed ergonomically to minimize the hassles in operating it. This is particular obvious with the Soft-grip Power Head that can be handled easily with only the need of one hand.

On the other hand, with the measurement of 4 ¾ by 4 ¾ by 8 inches, this Black & Decker EHC650 3-cup 2-speed Food Chopper will fit well into the any size of kitchen.

Various reviews have shown that majority of the users love its portability and handiness. They also have conveyed that the 3-cup capacity is more than enough to accommodate their needs.

Better still, it offers two speed options for the users. This means that you are allowed to control the fineness or size of your food at ease. What’s more, the blade that incorporated in this utensil is stainless steel with sturdy structure.

All in all, this Black & Decker EHC650 3-cup 2-speed Food Chopper is not an ideal food processor for you if you have to prepare meals for a large family. However, if you only need a food processor for light usages, then I think it is a perfect choice! It is simple, compact, handy and cheap.

Black & Decker HC306 1-1/2-Cup One-Touch Electric Chopper

Any single guy or girl who cooks at home must have this cute little gadget! The Black & Decker HC306 may be small – it only has 1.5 cup capacity – but it is not a flimsy toy. This electric chopper can save you a lot of fuss when cooking for one.

Fast, Easy and Light
The Black & Decker HC306 is so easy to use that it is practically foolproof. It has only one, big, round button that is hard to miss. Just pop that onion you want to chop into the bowl, lock it into position, and press the button once, twice…and you’re done. Yes, the blades are sharp enough to chop an onion in two pulses, so don’t press for too long unless you want to puree something like tomatoes.

Clean up is just as easy. The parts of this chopper that needs cleaning are dishwasher safe but to retain the sharpness of the blades for a longer time, hand washing is recommended. Rinsing the bowl and blades under the tap after use is no trouble at all.

Not for Everything, But Good Enough
This little fellow can handle green pepper, garlic, breadcrumbs, hard cheese, nuts, and even meat. But it doesn’t handle leafy veggies well, and the little motor will get hot if you run it for too many times in a row. Let it cool for a few minutes and it’ll be ready to chop again.

It also doesn’t have a rubber tight seal between the lid and the bowl, so there will be a little leakage when you puree or process stuff that is wet. The puree doesn’t really come out very fine either, but then, this is a chopper not a mill, after all.

I would say those are very minor drawbacks that shouldn’t stop anyone from getting this chopper. I would recommend the Black & Decker HC306 to anyone who wants to get little chopping tasks done without bringing out the monster of a food processor. For a little more than $10, this chopper certainly gives a lot of value!

Black & Decker FP2500 PowerPro

Among the many other food processors within it’s price range, I would say that the Black & Decker FP2500 PowerPro Wide-Mouth 10-Cup Food Processor sets the bar high in terms of quality and performance.

This can only mean one thing; the disk blades are extremely effective. The other blades works well too! They will puree tomatoes and knead a pizza dough in a jiffy without any unnecessary mess and any extra work. All you need to do is put in the required ingredients, relax and let the machine do all the work for you.

The extra large ‘mouth’, which is the main feature of the Black & Decker FP2500 PowerPro, makes adding food through it easier and less messier. Now, you don’t need to keep on opening the top lid to get bigger things in; all you need to do is gently tamp it through the ‘mouth’.

However, from what I can see, there might be a difficulty in cleaning between the rim of the lid and the rim where the ‘mouth’ meets the main section of the lid. Tiny pieces of food may get trapped there and turn nasty and we don’t want that now, do we? Perhaps a bristle brush will do the trick?
