One of my resolutions this year was to incorporate more fresh produce<\/a> into my meals. I\u2019m several months in, and I\u2019m already noticing the positive effects of eating more veggies (for one, my food just tastes better). The only downfall? Preparing food from scratch takes time and that\u2019s something I don\u2019t always have a lot of as a busy mom.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u2019ve toyed with prepping veggies ahead of mealtime \u2014 for example, chopping sweet potatoes for a hash the day before I plan to make the dish \u2014 but I also want to be able to whip up nutritious, plant-based dishes on a whim. Thankfully, I came across the perfect solution on an influencer\u2019s IG story: the Fullstar Vegetable Chopper<\/a>, a compact chopping tool that cuts prep time in half and also happens to be on sale today during Amazon Prime Day<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Looking for more great deals? Check out\u00a0<\/em>our complete Amazon Prime Day sale coverage<\/em><\/a>, and be sure to\u00a0<\/em>sign up for our Cook Shop newsletter<\/em><\/a>\u00a0for the latest sales and must-have kitchen finds<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The Fullstar Vegetable Chopper<\/a> has more than 63,000 reviews and a 75 percent five-star average on Amazon, so I didn\u2019t need much convincing. Even at full price, the chopper isn\u2019t what I\u2019d call inexpensive, and the versatility absolutely justifies the cost. However, at its current sale price<\/a>, it\u2019s an even better value for your wallet \u2014 and your kitchen. <\/p>\n The chopper does four different things, so you\u2019re essentially replacing four common kitchen gadgets. It comes with a dice blade meant for small fruits and veggies, a large dice blade for harder produce, and a spiral and ribbon blade great for zucchini, squash, or sweet potato. There\u2019s also a finger guard to protect your hands when you\u2019re spiralizing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n When I finished, I noticed there was a lot of onion residue left inside the stainless blades. Luckily, the chopper comes with two cleaning scrapers and a cleaning brush to make the job easier (and safer than using a sponge or dish brush on the sharp surface). It took a good five minutes for me to thoroughly clean the insert, but it probably would have taken me that long, plus a lot of tears, to chop an entire onion with a knife.\u00a0<\/p>\n Either way, you end up with fewer dishes to wash, because there\u2019s no knife, cutting board, or prep bowl required. The entire chopper is also dishwasher-safe, so once you get most of the residue off the insert, you can just throw it on the top rack and forget about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Storage is a breeze, too. Rather than trying to cram two separate choppers and a couple of spiralizers into my already-full kitchen cabinet, I just put it all back in the box and tuck it in with my other gadgets. (Note to self: Invest in more tools that do more than one thing<\/a>!)<\/p>\n I\u2019ve used the chopper on onions, sweet potatoes, and most recently, apples for a salad, and I can totally see why it gets so much hype on social media and on Amazon. When you spend less time prepping and cleaning, you can spend more time actually<\/em> enjoying your food. Knowing how easy it is to prepare my produce, I\u2019ve been inspired to get more creative in the kitchen, trying recipes I\u2019d normally skip because I didn\u2019t have the right tools on hand. Zoodles and meatballs<\/a>, I\u2019m coming for you!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat\u2019s So Great About the Fullstar Vegetable Chopper?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
