## Description

HIC Kitchen Old Fashioned Onion Chopper delivers quick and consistent results for chopping and mincing onions and a variety of softer ingredients. A vintage-style kitchen essential used by generations, it saves time and effort while reducing the mess and hassle of traditional knife chopping. Made from durable glass with sharp 18/8 stainless steel plane-edge blades, it is lead-free, BPA-free, and holds up to 1.5-cups. The spring action automatically lifts the blades back into position, making repetitive chopping fast and efficient. Simply place food inside the sturdy glass base, attach the lid, and tap the plunger until the desired texture is achieved. This multipurpose hand chopper is easier to use and clean than a bulky food processor and helps minimize tears when cutting onions. It is perfect for preparing onions, eggs, produce, nuts, fruit, tuna, hard boiled eggs, small salads, and quick healthy snacks for everyday meals. The compact size stores easily in a cabinet or drawer, making it a practical alternative to large appliances. The glass base is dishwasher safe, and all other parts are hand washable for lasting use. Before first use: remove the glass base, detach and discard the center stem guard to release the blades, wash and dry the chopper, then reattach the glass base. The chopper is then ready for use. Brought to you by HIC, a third-generation family owned and operated company in the USA since 1957.

Review: Basic manual nut grinder - Purchased to grind dog treats to make food topper for my dog's dry kibbles. I needed a manual one so that I can take to camping, beach, etc. and don't have to look for power source to use. I also wanted a simple one so that I don't have to struggle to clean. The bottom part is made of real glass, which I like - easy to clean. The grinder part is aluminum, and the top cup(?) is plastic with a lid. I can grind treats at home, then take to outdoor. This is a very basic manual grinder that satisfy my simple objective. The grinder is coarse, and there is no adjustment. If you need coarse-fine adjustments, look for other options. The grinder part is delicate, including the handle. If you place something hard, it will break. I see why people saying "OK with walnuts, but NOT with almonds." If you want to grind or crush hard nuts or food, go get electrical one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the disk that fits under the lid supposed to come loose?**
A: Have had one for years, old style nearly indestructible. It has a thin plastic disc that goes in the bottom, never had any material break or chip off. The inside of the top is slotted so they fit together by turning. Made this way so you can clean the entire unit. If you try and work it without having it installed on the glass jar the inner portion of the top will pop out, it isn’t designed to do that for whatever reason you have in mind. 
since it isn’t designed to do that.

**Q: When the blades go down, do they hit the glass?  i don't want to chop glass.  nor do i want to put the plastic piece on the bottom and chop plastic.**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ easy to use hand nut grinder

Works well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost like Mom's
*by T***B on June 3, 2023*

This is easy, simple, quick and not to difficult to clean. It is not quite the same quality as the one my Mom had, because the plastic top portion is a bit cheaper than hers, but it works and for the price, its a good product for the average everyday home cooking purpose. Probably won't hold up for high use, but for me using it once or twice a week for chopping onions and peppers it works perfectly.
