I love to cook but I hate the cutting and chopping that invariably accompany any cooking activity – this was until I discovered the smart chop chopper. So impressed am I with this gizmo that i keep suggesting it to everyone I meet, but then, many people ask "how do you assemble smart chop chopper?" or "is assembling smart chop chopper difficult?" Tired of explaining the same thing over and again (the makers better start paying me some royalty) here I am writing a blog on how to use, clean, and assemble a smart chop chopper....  

Smart chop chopper is this amazing little gizmo that so easily and efficiently finishes off all the cutting and chopping chores for you and seriously sorts out your life for good (well the second part is something that the makers of this machine claim not me!). The smart chop is made up of a set of sharp stainless steel cutting blades, a removable food compartment made of food grade plastic, and a sleek body, which can be completely disassembled. 

To chop vegetables or fruits in a smart chop you need to place large chunks of the food into the food compartment, fix the body onto the compartment. To do this, 

place the body over the compartment (blade side down) and twist it clockwise to lock the whole unit. Now just press the spring handle provided; the blades rotate automatically as you press the handle and chop the food into uniform sized bits. 

After the cutting/chopping operation is over, you need to clean the whole unit. This is hassle-free too, you just need to disassemble the unit and wash the blades in soap water, that is it. To open up the unit, first separate the food compartment by turning the body, counter clockwise. Now remove the black cap and the bottom clear plastic portion by twisting them in counter clockwise direction. The body has an easy butterfly open design, hence, all you need to do is tug at the ends of the body, and it opens up to expose the blade within. Now just clean the blades in soap water, rinse, and dry.

When using it the next time, you need to assemble the unit. For assembling just follow the above instructions backwards i.e., slap shut the body around the blades and fix the cap&clear plastic portion to the body by turning them in clockwise direction. Lo! Your smart chop is all ready for the next operation.

So, the next time you think of shying away from cooking because you hate cutting/chopping, get the smart chop home, assemble it and get done with your work in a jiffy!
