Faster Prep, Neater Counters, Happier Meals
If you love home-cooked meals but hate the time sink (and tears) of knife work, the Fullstar Original Pro Chopper earns its spot on the counter. With interchangeable, razor-sharp blades and a built-in catch tray, it turns onions, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, potatoes, fruit, and more into uniform pieces in seconds—no cutting board traffic jam, no runaway dice.
Why this chopper stands out
- Real time savings: Press the lid and you’ll get a bowl of even cubes in a fraction of the time it takes to slice-and-dice by hand. It’s especially great for “lots of little pieces” jobs—salsas, salads, stir-fry preps, soup veggies, omelets, and meal-prep bins.
- Consistent cuts: Uniform pieces cook evenly and look better. Your skillet browns instead of steams, and salads feel restaurant-tidy.
- Contained mess: The catch tray keeps juices and scraps off the board so you’re not wiping puddles after onions or tomatoes.
- Interchangeable blades: Most Pro Chopper bundles include at least small and large dicing grids, with many sets adding julienne/spiral options. (Exact inserts vary by bundle—check yours.)
- Sturdy build, compact footprint: Non-slip feet, a solid hinge, and a low profile that stores easily in a drawer.
What it can chop (and what to tweak)
- Best results: onions, bell peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, carrots (cut into planks first), celery, apples, pears, firm tomatoes, boiled eggs, cheese blocks, cooked chicken for salads.
- For firm produce: cut large items into half or quarter slabs that cover the blade area—this reduces force and preserves the grid.
- For tomatoes/soft fruit: choose firmer varieties and chill them first; press down, not forward to avoid smearing.
- For potatoes/sweet potatoes: raw works if you cut into thinner planks; otherwise par-cook for a minute or two to soften.
How to use it (quick start)
- Choose your blade. Pop the insert in until it clicks.
- Square your produce. Trim rounded ends and create a flat face—think “plank” that fits the grid.
- Use the hand guard. Place produce on the grid, set the guard on top, and keep your palm flat on the lid.
- Press straight down. Avoid rocking; one confident press is cleaner than several timid ones.
- Lift and empty. Dice drop into the tray. Use the included comb/brush to clear bits from the grid.
Cleaning & care
- Rinse immediately so starch and onion juices don’t dry in the grid.
- Use the cleaning comb/brush on the blade teeth; never drag a sponge across the grid with bare hands.
- Most parts are top-rack dishwasher safe; the lid with the hinge and the blades last longer with a warm, soapy hand wash.
- Dry thoroughly before storing—stainless steel resists rust, but trapped moisture shortens lifespan.
- Store blades in their protective covers to keep edges sharp and fingers safe.
Safety pointers (worth repeating)
- Always use the hand guard (and glove, if included).
- Keep the chopper on a dry, stable surface so it doesn’t skate.
- Replace any blade that’s bent or dull; forcing a dull grid invites cracks and slips.
- Keep kids’ fingers away from the hinge and grid—this is not a toy, even if it’s oddly satisfying to use.
Who it’s perfect for
- Meal-preppers batching veggies for the week.
- Busy parents who want 10-minute dinner prep.
- Salad & salsa lovers who live for crunch and color.
- New cooks building knife confidence but wanting great results now.
- Small kitchens—you get a knife-skills upgrade without sacrificing counter space.

FAQs
Will it replace my chef’s knife?
Not for everything—but for medium/large batches of diced veg, it’s faster and tidier.
Do I need to peel first?
Peel tough skins (onion, squash). Tender skins (cucumber, zucchini, apples) are fine as-is.
Can it handle cheese or eggs?
Yes—semi-firm cheeses and hard-boiled eggs dice beautifully. Chill first for clean edges.
How big is the capacity?
The catch tray typically holds enough for a family salad or stir-fry round; if you’re doing party trays, just empty between presses.
Bottom line
The Fullstar Original Pro Chopper delivers what every home cook wants: speed, uniform cuts, and less mess. With a small footprint and swappable blades, it’s the fastest way to get colorful, evenly diced veggies into your skillet, salad bowl, or lunch boxes—night after night.
