CAN IT CHOP NUTS AND STAY SHARP ?

Yes. It chops anything I have tried on it, including thick slices of ham. Mine stayed sharp for about ten years.

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 haven't used it for chopping nuts but I can't see where it would be a problem. I am on my second chopper and I wouldn't buy another type.

I've had mine for about 10 years and I have chopped nuts, veggies etc and it has stayed sharp. By far the best hand chopper you can buy, well worth the money.

It does normal food prep well. I have chopped garlic, onions, shallots, and lots of fruits . I have not tried nuts but I think it does as well as any other processor I have used. I think the key to chopping is timing.

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..it will...not uniformly but it will chop and if not careful, pulverize it.

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

My Smart Stick died after a year. But when it worked, it did chop onions very small. I don't think pulverize is accurate. I never tried it with nuts.

I bought this item as a gift for my mother. For her, it chops well, but she has not tried nuts or lemon zest. However, it chops up food finely and is working better than slightly bigger than choppers.

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

It is very sharp and if you are not careful you will have to do some shaping.The adjustable head and the multi setting should make it easy.Go slow and steady.

I'm sure you could. I've been using it to chop up cilantro and other herbs. The blades are sharp so be careful cleaning it.

The blades are made for things like vegetables and cheese. My guess is it might work, but I think grating nuts might dull the blades.

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.

It will chop finely, but it is definitely a learning curve on how to make it work that way. It's really easy to turn nuts into butter if you are not careful. Lots of shaking it up after a blast or two. For example: I can do it, but my wife can't. Of course that means I now have to chop all the nuts when she bakes, but it's worth the effort! ;)

It wouldn't surprise me if it could do it, but I want my peeler to last more than few months, and I'd be worried about cutting myself by using a peeler to do that. I just use a chefs knife to do squashes.

I have chopped bok choy it seemed to perform efficiently although because the size of the bowl you must load accordingly. Ginger and nuts seem to chop fine as well.

Yes and no. It does an amazing job of chopping but if you are not careful it will chop it to mush. Do little groups at a time with a gentle touch and you should be fine. Its an amazing cutter but you need to watch carefully the amount of time you grind.

It is certainly sharp enough, but if you want a precise cut this would not be the tool for you. It is great for mincing, but not will not compete with skilled knife work.
