Question:

Can you recommend any of the chopping devices that I see advertised?

— Robin McKnight

Answer:

Yeah, you know that's actually something that's a little more common than people would think, you know, when shopping ingredients. Some people have a hard time because of arthritis and it can get taxing after a while. A food processor is probably your best betum something like this. So most most food processors along with just the spinning blade. Also have like a disc that'll go on the top of it that will. I'm shred cheese or shred vegetables or it also has like a mandolin thing on it. So when you put the thing into it like Saying cucumber you can put the Cucumber down the top of it and it'll pull up the little thin slices of those now depending on the food processor you have they you might have multiple. Settings on these as well. I know my mother-in-law just bought like it's like a electric mandolin, which I never heard of before but it worked really really well because it was just like a food processor but only had the different settings to be able to put things to like you'd have on a mandolin so it had like a greater on it and it had different, you know, kind of thin thinner thicker slices to be able to put on it too. So you can put all kinds of different vegetables into it and actually help to be able to to thinly slice those or grate them at the same time. So the food process are probably my best bet on doing something like that as well as far as other types of you know Machinery, there's a whole bunch of other things out there that I've seen that are more gimmicky than anything. So I think the food processor is probably the one that I would recommend holy more than anything else.
