Can this bowl be used for chopping without ruining it?

I own this bowl.but have not used for chopping. I own 2 bamboo cutting boards and after much use they don't show it, so I'm guessing you can. It won't be ruined, it might just show it's been used, but probably not much. Bamboo is an amazing wood.

Yes, I believe that it could be, but I would suggest chopping on something you can put into the sink or dishwasher for sanitary reasons. Being that it is a board it would not hurt it to cut on it by mistake or do rough things on it.I have a portable counter top dishwasher on it, so I never see the board. It has been very sturdy for this use. Very please with it. Any other questions, just ask. Regards, DrDick

I have not tried to chop ice. I have not tried to chop anything for a long time. The plastic chopper cracked in half after 3 months of use. Do not rely on this product.

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.

I just purchased one and that is my main concern. I don't believe that the blade would damage my pot but the metal grip around the blade will ...for sure. Now, if I transfer my food into a plastic bowl before I use it...I would avoid that issue. I need to decide if that is what I am willing to do. Also, I want to use the chopper to make a paste from ginger and garlic ...for my kimchi recipe and I wonder if that would work.

The answer is NO as the lid is airtight when chopping. If you need to add liquid it would be smart to add in originally with ingredients. This unit is absolutely great...Enjoy!

If you put a lot of things in the bowl, your need to stir it once so it chops everything. But it depends of course on what u are chopping. The bowl is like 6 inches diameter.

I would say yes but not without seriously dulling the blade. I'd suggest a different knife for that. Still a good knife though.

No, because that would dull it considerable, and probably lower the temper in the blade due to excessive heat. The blade is much thinner than a conventional kitchen knife.

That is not how it's meant to be used. You could put it in a micro but that would be no different than using any microwavable covered bowl. You would also have to remove the handle as it is attached with metal.

Yes my husband used it to chop celery for Thanksgiving. It worked like a charm...no issues!

I haven't used it in that way. I use it for chopping vegetables and nuts. If needed just drain it by pouring excess off.

for chopping it works great only part of your blade is in the bowl.rock your blade back and forth while chopping, best knife ever.

I definitely would NOT do that with a food processor. It's really best to use a mixer that explicitly says it's made to handle that (whether a hand mixer or the pricey type with an included bowl that works on its own).

Should not be a problem at all. This thing is built like a tank. As mentioned before, don't exceed bowl capacity.

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.

Yes, you can. My bowls are getting some scratch marks inside, but it's just from use. They are not deep scratches, but enough to make them look used.
