can this chopper be used to cut chicken for salads?

It will if the pieces are cut to fit, but be careful if you hold down the pulse you will end up with a mushy chicken salad, it will chop if you watch it closely! Hope this helped!

Yes. Make sure you do not put in a whole large breast and that the chunks of chicken you put in are not too big.

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.

Yes, best little chopper for left overs to make sandwich salads. I really like this chopper, I use it a lot instead of getting out food processor.

Kelly, I haven't tried chopping Cilantro but would expect it to work just fine.. It does a great job on parsley and any other vegetable that takes time to dice with a knife.. I love this gadget !

Hi. Truthfully I have never used this product as a veggie chopper, but only for the use of chopping the salad. I generally use things like pre-sliced carrots myself. I would use a processor to chop whole carrots etc. rather than this item. It works very well if you use it for the 'salad' chopping as it is intended. If you wanted to, you could run the blades over a celery stalk to slice, but I would hesitate to use it with 'hard' veggies.I love the product myself, and if you like chopped salads - you will too.

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.

I haven't tried either since I mainly got it for chopping onion and nuts. But, I would think it would be too small for meat...unless you only put in about 1/4 cup at a time. Then I think it would

I have not used it for that...the blades are quite sharp...I am guessing that it will chop your dog food...the chopping well is fairly small...it may only do 1 meal at a time (depending on the size & appetite of your dog).

We have never used it for nuts but i don't see why it wouldn't. We have mainly used it for vegetables and meat such as chicken for making chicken salad. This product is very well made. I bought this one to replace one that was finally showing wear after about 20 years of use and we are keeping the old one just in case we need to double up chopping for a big meal.

I think so. I've used it to debone and skin raw chicken and its construction seems to pay off just fine for that. The edge holds good, and I use it just as often to cut the meat as to chop, hell, I often use it in lieu of a chef's knife. Hope that helps!

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

Have not tried to chop meat however it probably would work. The blades are extremely sharp you might try a "hard meat" like Salami first.

I like this chopper, but I think it will too fine for your needs. I also use a chopper by Pampered Chef that allows more control on piece size, although not perfectly uniform.

This thing struggles to chop onions. I haven't tried cooked meat like chicken, it could be possible but honestly if I had to do it again i'd just purchase an electric chopper.

I've been using these Messermeister shears to cut through breast bones, wing and leg joints and just about every part of the chicken but I wouldn't expect it to be easy to cut through the leg/thigh bone transversely. I would think that for that one would need some other kind of tool other than poultry sheers.

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 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.

We use it as a dough knife most of the time. It will work for chopping, but we prefer a knife for that. It's great for gathering up chopped veggies or meat to transfer them to a pot or bowl.

No, it would not. It's not that great of a chopper for anything tough. It would work well for chopping soft foods.
