Does this chop lettuce very well?

This size might be a bit small...you'd have to precut the lettuce to fit...and you'd only need a few pulls of the cord...too many and you'd have lettuce mush!

I haven't chopped lettuce; however, it's too small to do lettuce. This chopper is great, but meant for smaller foods. For instance, it will chop one clove of garlic or a cup of carrots. It's even useful for chopping foods for the baby.

Yes, it does a good job, but make sure that you keep an eye on how fine you wish to chop/grind them! It's a personal choice. Hope this helps.

What we do is wash the lettuce, then chop it and spin it... then we place it into this container. It will hold about 1/2 head of lettuce, but not a full head. We normally use this container for celery and carrots. I hope this assist you.

No...it doesnt. My husband is a cook and didnt like how the chopper worked. He prefers to do cut different stuff himself as the chopper doesn't do a good job at it. We mainly just use the blender.

no, but the one blade is very sharp and does a very good job of chopping, coarse or fine, or almost a paste if you want.I did white sugar and strips of lemon peel zest the other day and it did great.

I think it depends on the size. With mine (8") it would be difficult to chop lettuce, baby spinach would probably work. The Ulu Bowl is rather for chopping smaller things like garlic, herbs, chilies, onions etc. And for this purpose it is the best item I ever had in my kitchen! You have to practice a little in the beginning, to get the right angle for moving the knife, but once you found out, you will never ever want to be without it.

Hi, Julie - I have not used mine for that, so can't say yes or no --- however, my family makes a LOT of kale salad, & what we have found best for chopping our kale is the Zyliss FastCut Herb Tool that Amazon sells --- we've been using ours for 8 or 9 months, & just love it! It's easy to clean, too! (make sure to put the blade guard back on if you put it into a drawer, tho' - the blades are sharp!

Yes, it can. Definately. That good thing I like about this one hand held chopper is it can coarse chop to your like unlike my ninja power one which I absolutely love for fine or power chopping.

It does veggies pretty well but it doesn't do hard cheeses very well my husband almost broke it pressing too hard in the blade. I would give it a 6 out of 10 for the shredding of hard cheese but veggies it's great!

I like it but it does chop different sizes. I used it to make a veggie salad. You have to quarter the vegetables before you chop them. Sometimes the quartershave to be cut again. For soft foods pulse lightly. I love using it to make egg salad.As far as I know, it won't shred. There might be another chopper that's betterand more expensive but this one is good enough. Also, if I want the bestuniform chopped vegetable....large or small dice....then I use a knife. I hopeI helped you....Jan

It chops finely. No blender consistency. It has a fast speed and a slower speed. I just give it a couple of quick pulses on fast usually and it's chopped. I've chopped onion, garlic and cilantro and it does great. I've also chopped tomato but you don't want to get it filled more than halfway if there will be any liquid at all which you get even when you use a knife. I really wish I had gotten this a lot sooner.

Yes and it does much more! I bought it for my mom and she is in love with it! It chops and stuff too

It depends entirely on you. How long you crank the handle determines how fine the chop... The first time I used it I turned my tomatoes into almost Salsa, green peppers also. Then I realized that I had to not turn so many times and or so fast. I even go forward and backward. Probabaly only 5 to 6 turns sill make chop for say tacos. The more you spin it the finer you can make it.

I have put Kale and Spinach in my smoothies (along with 4-5 ice cubes, 1 cup of liquid, 1 cup yogurt, a kiwi and some frozen fruit) and it chops the kale or spinach into very small fragments, it does not pulverize/liquify - but I would still consider that it does a very good job.

Yes, it chops really fine. I'm not.a ran of a blender except for milkshakes. I use the food chopper for everything else. Be careful not to hold down power button too long though because it will make micro pieces. Powerful little thing.

Yes it does. It is also great for chopping onions, parsley, mint and tomatoes

NO, It cant chop light bones, only meat and vegetable. You might chip the edge of the knife if u chop bone, since the edge is thin. To be save you should use the Shun Ken Onion 7-Inch Cleaver to chop bone.
