Can I use this bowl to chop salad?

Yes, I bought it to go along with a special knife for chopped salads and at first I was skeptical because it was plastic. I've used it a couple times without any problems.

You can put salad in it, but I would chop salad on a cutting board. It is plastic.

Hmmm--I don't know. it is melamine plastic and we've only tried it for mixing wet and dry ingredients so far. I see that Amazon sells melamine chopping boards, so it might be possible.

Yes. I use this for both salads and sandwiches. It's the perfect size. Enjoy.

The bowls are really designed for salads or small amounts of soups, it is about 1 1/2 inches deep. You can use if of course for cereal but you may need to have seconds!

I think you could - just remember to follow the instructions on how long the spurts of chopping should be. But I would use this for the chopping and then to puree I would use one of the hand blenders - that would make it really smooth.

Yes. I've used it to chop broccoli, Onions, and Tomatoes. The trick is to pulse when using the chopper. Don't keep your fingers on the button as that would only act as blender and then it will all end in mush. So far so good I'm having no issues with it. I have yet to use the ice shaver but plan to soon. This is the best investment I've made this year... so far.

If you can cut it with a butter knife, you can chop it with this. Its not like an electric food processor by any stretch. I only use it for very very very soft foods. Not too versatile whatsoever. I recommend good knife or an electric food processor. It's good for salsa and sauces.

I suppose it would work but I have a separate food processor I use for chopping fruit for jams or ingredients for salsa. You would have to use care not to over process your ingredients.

Definitely! I used mine to chop carrots for soup all the time. You do need to cut the carrots into about 3 inch lengths, to fit on the cutting blade (or just use baby carrots). If the carrot was really, really thick, I sometimes split it lengthwise. More so the pieces would be uniformly sized more than that the chopper couldn't handle it.

I think it would be wonderful. I have used this one for a layered salad. It is beautiful.

No, but it's a good size bowl, could probably use it for that. Mainly use it for salads, but has many uses.

i am using it to chop veggies for adults as well now. I see many years of use from it ( presumably that it would work)

yes! this works great as a food processor. I've made chicken salad and grinded other foods with no problem

Yes we used it to chop up vegetables actually more like purée the vegetables for the salsa. Just make sure you're using an USDA approved recipe for canning salsa.

Yes. If you cut the cabbage into quarters first, it should work well. I found that the holder isn't very helpful with some vegetables, though. Just watch your fingers. The blade is very sharp. It's ceramic, but it looks like plastic. So, its appearance is deceiving.

Yes, but depends on the quantity you want to make. It is a small chopper and good for many small chopping needs.

We use it on a self standing butcher block where food is prepared. We have not used it on salad bowls but if used in moderation it should be fine as it is food grade soluble.

I can't honestly say that it will. I've used it for onions, boiled eggs and tuna and it was wonderful. I think if you go to qvc.com and search for this, they may still have a video showing everything it does. I know they used to, but it was a while ago.I think it could chop your vegetables. The blades are very, very sharp. Obviously, if you don't overload it, it will do a better job. Hope this helps. I don't think you would regret buying this.
