Review: Kenwood Mini Chopper

I'm really busy at work this week and also outside of work with job applications so that means no time for baking - boooo!

So instead, I thought I'd do some reviews of my favourite kitchen gadgets.



I initially got the Kenwood Mini Chopper because I needed something to blend garlic and chillis to make a base for a curry, and I have a teeny kitchen with only 1 cupboard for everything so I didn't have space for a conventional food processor.

The bowl is about 15cm in diameter and has a volume of 350ml. Mine only has 1 speed but I note on amazon that the current version has 2 speeds. It is easy to take apart and dishwasherable - great if you're lazy like me.

In the last 3 months I have used it for everything from making pesto and curry sauce to grinding almonds to make macaroons. I even used it to blend a vat of roast veg for a pasta sauce in batches. Apparently Delia recommends it for chopping veg as well.

For someone like me with limited space, it is perfect. It doesn't have the other things that a conventional food processor would have like mixing/grating/juicing attachments but I already have a hand mixer and other tools for this purpose (which probably take up less space than a food processor would).

So in summary, this is one gadget that I would buy again in a heartbeat if anything ever happened to mine!
