How does this do for chopping things like parsley, chives, green onions? Does it make it into a baby food liquid or will it actually chop small piece

It'll make really small pieces. I think liquifying is probably not possible.

It will chop herbs & onions if there is enough in there. Small amounts don't do as well. No it doesn't make it a liquid, it chops. Sizing depends on how long and how fast you turn it. The faster you turn it the better the results.

we had one just like this one for 20yrs that we bought in AZ. and when it finally broke, we just had to find another just like it and we did, this is the one. don't buy any thing else this one is awesome. it won't make it into a liquid, but boy does it ever chop thing into small pieces, it is perfect for making salsa. hope you enjoy it. you can't go wrong here with this chopper.John P.

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 use it to chop vegetables for soups mostly. I have also used it to make hashbrowns out of my potatoes.

It's a nice small food chopper and easy to take apart but takes a few times to learn how to put it back together. I love mine and use it constantly.

Not a whole lot, maybe a cup when chopped? It is really made for a quick chop of a few onions or the like, not for making a batch of salsa. Use it when making chili or spaghetti sauce to add onion, peppers or mushrooms but thats about it.

It can chop food, but will not chop thing into a paste as well as a food processor can. So it depends on what you want to make.

It doesn't mush some of the food before the rest is chopped. you have great control over size of chop. It has a sweeper on the bottom that moves the food around well.

It will not dice, it will do a an uneven chop to a puree. This machine is great for baby food, home made salad dressings. Because of well the oils blend slowly there is no separation between liquids.

Probably as a chopper or if you want to make sauces.But I wouldn't invest the money in this. I bought it and returned it. A hand blender does the job.

If you watch the youtube demos it helps. They add already sliced items to the bowl and then use this tool to chop into smaller bits. Main reason to use this is to get a finer sized veggie. The blades are not sharp like a Ulu blade or mezzaluna but works great for greens, herbs, fruit, ect. Food that is already cut up. Worked great for cucumber pieces and sliced almonds.

It holds 4 cups liquid but when using it for veggies and such I can get away with one good size onion, a green pepper and maybe a bit more. If you put in too much it get's a little harder to crank. The nice thing is if I'm doing a lot of stuff I do it in stages and it only takes maybe 10 seconds or so to chop it. I usually quarter things which is no big deal. What I like about this unit is that it has suction cups so it stays put and i don't have to try to hold it in place. Sorry, a lot of answer for an easy question.

I would expect it would but I've never made baby food. I've used it to puree garbonzo beans (chickpeas) to make hummus and cooked chicken livers to puree for pate. There are two speeds and a pulse mode that should make short work of just about anything you can throw at it.

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 !

It has 1-blade with 2-cutting edges. (Looks like an old airplane prop). Not sure about baby food, but It should do the job.

I use it for everything I chop. I love it for onions my eyes don't water. I love it for chopping nuts you can chop them course or fine. Eggs for a salad. Just about anything you can chop. I had bought a cheaper one before I got the pampered chef one and I would not even consider another brand.

Very little. Chops small amounts easily, maybe 1/4 of an onion at a time, and I have to cut the onion in small pieces even then. Not meant for large quantities.This is the small chopper.

it only has one blade and no whisk attachment. I would not recommend using this tool to puree baby food. look for a mini chopper, such as the Krups Mini Food Processor, 13 Ounce Capacity.
