I hate chopping onions, looking actually for some time for a practical helper for it. Unfortunately, most turn out rather than flop. Consists precisely in onion yes is a risk that they squeezed and thus be bitter.
It should also work easily be at your fingertips and can be easily cleaned. All that was promised with the Nicer Dicer.
So I washed him and assembled as described above. This is very simple and easy, you have to sacrifice neither finger nor nails. At first I worked with the larger knife attachment. Reserves psyched, carrots, peppers and onions peeled - you're able. Man must cut into large pieces, the material to be cut, so that it fits on the grid pins. Since it then assigns to it and closes the Dicer. From the presentation and from the description I knew that we must not only work with the leverage here. So one hand on the container, a next to the open space - the lever - and press. With one operation, the vegetable is cut into uniform cubes or sticks and collects in the container.
There remains, even if one continues to work. Whether cubes or pins depends again on product from - onion are always die - and also on the thickness of the processed foodstuff. A pre-cut potato into rough slices resulting cube, only halved are pins. It is indeed cut through only the grid pattern from the top, along nothing happens.
It is quite fast and also very clean ... I'm thrilled. Do I need root system for a soup or a good sauce, I need only half the time. It is all just peeled celery, carrots, kohlrabi, leek, parsley, and pre-cut into large pieces that fit into the Nicer Dicer. I always try to take full advantage of the surface of the pin grid and can also be stacked on each other, the faster I'm done.
Even though I was rapt to the cutting with the small knife attachment. There is hardly anything worse to cut as garlic or onion in very small pieces for me. Lately I use Chinese garlic, which consists of a whole tuber and not of individual, extra to pellet ends toes.
So I removed the large knife attachment, in which I take him to an angle of 90 degrees and gone forth it simply upward course the filled container is turn off before. Similarly, I use the second knife attachment and turn me a fresh container thereon. Now fix the peeled garlic and off you go. In neighborhoods precut placed on the pin grid and once pressed shut. Within seconds I fabricate fine uniform garlic cubes without my fingers could ever take the smell.
Then I'd like the same strength and size for fresh minced onions have for example. So I put on ... and a quartered onion ratchet!
Once a container I can convey the material being cut clean in pot or pan or serve directly. The supplied screw I can but keep the food in the refrigerator or safe and clean transport, for example as a lunch in the company or as bite-sized fruit serving for the school. The bins are impact and scratch resistant, and assume no odors. They even still have a measuring scale. The cap close safely and absolutely tight!
The supplied peeler is good, doing his job without a murmur, with carrots even upwards and downwards. For potatoes it is somewhat clunky and big.
Cleaning and processing
According to the manufacturer the complete set can be used in the dishwasher. I do not do that, however, because sharp knife, you want more of you enjoy, do not belong to the dishwasher. I take the Dicer above described apart and sink immediately after use the Einzeltteile under running water. Occasionally, I help by with a scrub brush, it is quick and easy! Caution The knives are really sharp! Parts without a knife I put course times in the dishwasher!
Now let dry yet and already the Nicer Dicer is ready for use again.
Many other kitchen utensils discolored in contact with carrots or peppers immediately. But not the Nicer Dicer. Even after frequent processing of strongly coloring vegetables my device emits still in immaculate white.
Overall, the workmanship is very good, all the corners and edges are rounded off, the device makes a stable and durable impression. Stainless steel does not rust!
Conclusion
Meanwhile, I have the Genius vegetable and onion slicer always handy and within reach. I cut so all kinds of vegetables, potatoes, salads, herbs, meats and fruits. Apples for an apple pie are here cut at lightning speed, pineapple for a fruit salad palatable prepared peppers diced beautiful uniform and with tomato pieces and I have no slush. The range of applications is diverse and in the kitchen he is to me become an indispensable helper, I save at least 50% of the time, I can not cut it, it does not receive any tears and fingers stay as good as clean and odorless!
It is easy and fast to assemble, flexible to dismantle the 2 different blade utensils and the different sized containers and just as quickly. I clean it immediately after use under running water or without the assistance of a washing-up brush and so can usually forego the knife-damaging cleaning in the dishwasher. The finish is clean and safe, you can really hurt not normal. By the use of stainless steel can also corrode or wear anything. By adhering to the specifications and works with leverage and momentum can normally bend anything. If it does, so the company Genius is so accommodating, free to replace the damaged part to.
The concept with the screwed and robust containers is well thought out and extremely practical. So one must not transfer, cuts cleanly and can store or transport the cut food the same. There is a kitchen helper, who has also earned this designation - it helps; a true housewife dream, the only device that has actually convinced me chopping onions. And he can so much more!
The Nicer Dicer has already proven itself hundreds of times with me and even convinced my supercritical man. It is worth its price, and finally a one-time purchase!
