Is this chopper large enough for a handful of nuts or a med onion chopped into half?

It is small but I think you would need the bigger one for onions. It would do half a handful of nuts. I only use it for garlic and herbs.

The trick is not to fill the container to the top because then it won't rotate. The chopper does a great job, but in small batches. I have chopped both nuts and onions, but I only fill container to about 3/4 full.

Yes, I chop almonds-just don't overload it all at once. I would recommend cutting a medium onion into quarters to help the rotation chopping action.

I have not used vadalia but Prog.Onion chopper saves good amount of time for cutting onions.

I just used it to chop ham to make ham salad, and it worked well. I cut ham in 1" pieces, put about 6 in chopper, and twisted on chopper lid 3-4 times, and it was perfect.

Personally I am disappointed with this chopper. I use a lot of different nuts and seeds. They get stuck in the blades and it's really not an uniform chop. Also the harder the nut or seed the hard it is to turn the hand crank.

I don´t know the exact size but I would say about a cup. You can put a whole onion at a time, so I guess that would be approximately the size.

Hello. Oh gosh, I have never used the chopper for that. I do have a bag of almonds, if I get a chance this weekend, I will try it and see how it handles that and let you know. I hope this helps.

The largest things we have tried in ours is peanuts and corn... (not together lol) I don't think it would feed larger nuts without chopping them down to a smaller size.

No, I don't think that will work. Baby food is usually much softer than what works best with this chopper. It works well with firm textures like garlic, onion, other firm vegetables and most nuts. I think you need a small food processor which is also available on Amazon. Hope this helps. :)

Cut in half if too big I quarter them.I am dissapointed with chopper cutting blades are not very sharp.you really have to put a lot of pressure on handle.sometimes hit it with your fist .

It's about 8" in diameter and 3" in depth. You can chop 3 medium onions or 4 medium green peppers or you can chop 3 stalks of celery an onion and a green pepper for soup. Not to fret, it doesn't take long to chop, just about five spins, then just fill it up again until you have chopped all you need. You will wonder how you did without this gadget for so long.

I've had mine for about 10 years and I have chopped nuts, veggies etc and it has stayed sharp. By far the best hand chopper you can buy, well worth the money.

i only use this for chopping nuts, garlic, onion, peppers, etc. however, if you need to chop food containing oil, simply pour the entire chopped food into a strainer (place a bowl underneath the strainer should you need to use the oil for other purposes...)

So far we have used it to chop pecans (the ones that come bagged already shelled). The longer you keep the machine running, the smaller the pieces are that are chopped up. We use the chopped pecans in banana bread. It works great to puree onions without the tears to make salsa, etc. Like I said before, if the machine stops because it is jammed, make SURE that you unplug the unit before getting your finger near the blade. The blade is very sharp!!! Better to be safe!!!

My Smart Stick died after a year. But when it worked, it did chop onions very small. I don't think pulverize is accurate. I never tried it with nuts.

I personally have not chopped nuts, but anything that you put in at least a cup of anything will chop. The more you turn it the smaller it gets.
