When preparing some dishes, chopping vegetables into cubes can take quite a long time. If you like salads, okroshka, borscht, vegetable stews, or make preparations for the winter, think about buying a vegetable cutter. This device will do in a few minutes the work that would take an hour “in manual mode.”

And if previously only graters and food processors were sold (the former do not cut into cubes, and the latter are quite expensive), now manufacturers offer different units that can cope with this task.

Method 1. Manual vegetable cutters into cubes

This method can rightfully be put in first place. They are easy to clean, quickly assembled and disassembled, have sharp blades, are safe to use and at the same time cut beautifully and accurately. The most famous and advertised are Nicer Dicer and Nicer Dicer Plus. Graters take up little space and are inexpensive. A regular Nicer Dicer can be purchased for as little as $10-$15.

Moulinex produces manual vegetable cutters. Cost 25-30 dollars.

Another popular manual vegetable cutter is Alligator (Sweden). People are satisfied with the quality, but the price of this device - 150-180 dollars - is very high.

A manual vegetable cutter takes some getting used to. Do not immediately try the device on hard foods (for example, carrots or raw beets), onions. Try cutting a potato, cucumber or zucchini first. When you understand how best to place the product in the vegetable cutter and how hard to press, you can safely cut any vegetables into cubes. This item for the kitchen is actually very useful.

Method 2: Food processors and cubes

Food processors are multifunctional appliances. In addition to cutting vegetables, they can beat dough, use a blender, some models have the function of a meat grinder, juicer, etc.

The disadvantage of food processors is that they require time to assemble the device - and after work, disassemble it, wash it and put it back in place. Sometimes it’s faster to do something with your hands than to pull out the unit. Another drawback is the high price.

Method 3. Meat grinders for dicing

The French brand Moulinex has released the first meat grinder with the ability to cut vegetables into cubes.

The ME415 model is a worthy competitor to Bosh combines! Its price is much lower (120-150 dollars). It will chop the meat much better than a blender in a food processor. However, combines are more functional. For example, they can knead dough or make a cocktail. This meat grinder has several more attachments - graters and shredders for vegetables. According to reviews, the device cuts raw vegetables into cubes perfectly, while boiled vegetables squash.

Method 4. Blenders that allow you to cut into cubes

There is an undisputed leader on the market! Philips HR 1659 and HR 1669 blenders are a new product that has managed to win the hearts of customers. With its help you can prepare puree, grate and chop vegetables, knead dough and make cocktails.

Thanks to the huge number of functions, it can rightfully be called a combine harvester. At the same time, it takes up very little space. It is easy to use, there are no parts with complicated fastenings. According to reviews, it is also easy to clean. Disadvantages: Lots of plastic parts that can break. There is only one grid for cubes in the set - additional ones must be purchased separately.
The cost of the device is 200-250 dollars.

Another dicing blender is produced by VITEK. The cost of the device is 130-150 dollars. It also cuts into cubes very well. The disadvantage is again the likelihood of a breakdown, this time of the gearbox.

Method 5. Electric vegetable cutters

Some manufacturers have tried to create similar units. However, they did not become popular. Firstly, they cannot be bought in a store; all sales were carried out through teleshopping or the Internet. Secondly, the price of such a device was slightly lower than the price of a Mulinex meat grinder. The devices turned out to be unprofitable and have not yet earned the trust of buyers. Perhaps such vegetable cutters will be improved in the future?

Method 6. Special attachments for household appliances

Kenwood chose an unusual path. They have made the MGX400 dicing attachment that fits this brand's meat grinders and food processors. It is purchased by housewives who have Kenwood units in their arsenal.

As we can see, the market is only developing in this direction. However, the modern buyer already has plenty to choose from. What would you like best? Meat grinder, food processor, blender or special attachment? Maybe you'll choose a mechanical grater? Your choice should depend on your personal needs! The main thing is to use certain rules when operating devices:

First cut soft foods, such as cheese, eggs, and then hard ones.
- The meat can be slightly frozen. This will improve the cutting quality.
- Handle the grater very carefully! They are incredibly sharp and can cause deep cuts. Never give graters to children.

Once upon a time, housewives dreamed of automatic appliances in the kitchen. It took a lot of effort to cut food or twist meat. Today, this process takes much less time and effort thanks to automatic kitchen machines. The article discusses models of blenders with dicing, reviews of devices from expensive to budget options.

Why choose a blender

A blender capable of cutting into cubes is practically no different from its conventional counterparts. The only improvement is a special nozzle. This one performs functions such as cutting, mixing, beating and chopping.

How does a blender differ from other devices:

• Simple and fairly inexpensive analogues are manual or It can be bought at any store, but the function of a vegetable cutter does not include cutting into cubes.
• Food processors are large, heavy and bulky devices.
• Meat grinders that come with attachments. Special attachments make it possible to cut vegetables different ways. This device competes with blenders.

The advantages are compactness, affordable price and versatility. Thanks to these qualities, the blender occupies a leading position in sales.

Models with the ability to cut into cubes can be of two types:

• submersible;
• stationary.

Features of using the dicing attachment

Before using a blender with such an attachment, you should read the instructions for the device and remember the safety rules.

To make the cutting as perfect as possible, you must:

• Place vegetables evenly into the blender and adjust the pressure (speed). With strong or weak pressure, the cubes can be elongated or small.
• It is usually recommended to cut soft foods (boiled potatoes, carrots, cheese, bananas, eggs and the like) at first speed.
• The second speed is used for cutting raw vegetables, sausages, hard cheeses, onions, apples and similar products.
• Using immersion blender it is necessary to check the tightness of the lid.

It is important to know that frozen or hot foods should not be used. They must also be cleared of bones and other solid parts. Avoid cutting fruits that are too soft or overripe.

How to care for your blender

When buying a blender with a dicing function, every housewife must follow the rules for caring for the device. It is important to keep all components clean to ensure they last for many years.

The nuances of caring for the device, attachments and knives:

• Before you begin, you must carefully read the instructions included with the blender.
• It is important to prevent water from entering the engine compartment. Otherwise, the blender will quickly become unusable.
• It is forbidden to heat the blender attachments and knives - this leads to their premature damage.
• You cannot sharpen the blades yourself - they may be irreversibly damaged.
• After each use, all attachments should be washed thoroughly and left to dry completely.
• Blender bowls are dishwasher safe.
• The blender body must be wiped dry after washing to avoid rusting the components.
• Since it is difficult for any device to grind solid components, experts recommend first pouring liquid into a container and then adding the necessary ingredients (vegetables, fruits, ice).
• To quickly clean the attachments, you can place them in hot water and fill detergent, leave in this state for five minutes.

If the operating rules of the device are followed, it will last longer than the warranty period and the likelihood of unit breakdown will be reduced.

Also, the majority of respondents believe that it is more profitable to overpay for a multifunctional blender. Especially in cases of frequent use.

Among the proposed models with the dicing function, each buyer can choose a device that meets his requirements. Blenders vary in bowl size and additional functions. Each model has its own characteristics, positive and negative features.

On Russian market By the end of 2011, only three devices capable of cutting food into cubes were installed, these are:

. kitchen processor (combine) Bosch MCM 5529RU ProfiKubixx - test participant,

. multifunctional meat grinder MoulinexHV8 ME645 1 - test participant,

. blender Philips HR1659 - unfortunately, the device was not provided for testing by the manufacturer due to the coincidence of the start of sales of the device in Russia.

Three fundamentally different approaches to dicing are embodied in three types of devices: manufacturers have each occupied their own niche. In fact, the MoulinexHV8 ME645 meat grinder and the Philips HR1659 blender are so multifunctional that they can safely be classified as food processors.

How was it tested?

We did not fully test the devices, did not check all their capabilities and all ergonomics, but focused only on a single function - cutting into cubes. After all, it is precisely this that manufacturers position as the “know-how” of these models, which increases their cost.

We cut the products for the Olivier salad, strictly following the instructions regarding the possibility of cutting each specific product (for example, boiled potatoes cannot be cut in a Moulinex device) and processing speed (Bosch). Each device was evaluated according to the following parameters:

Assembly, installation of parts necessary for cutting into cubes, instructions for help.

Slicing boiled (Bosch) and raw (Moulinex) potatoes, boiled carrots, doctor's sausage 2, fresh cucumber, eggs, raw onions: size and shape of the cubes.

The presence or absence of pieces not processed by the device (the mass of waste was calculated as a percentage of the mass of the original product).

Cleaning the nozzle is convenient and safe.

We didn’t run the devices “race-wise” and didn’t check their speed, but they cut really quickly. Another question is how high quality it is.

conclusions

The most important thing is to remember that this meat grinder or food processor can boast not only of having this function, it is a universal helper: it will chop minced meat, squeeze out juice, rub and chop... And the cubes are a nice addition!

If you need to prepare a salad for dinner for a family of three or four people (about 800 g), then it is preferable to do everything by hand, especially since half the time is spent on washing and peeling vegetables and other ingredients, and not on cutting them. It’s also not worth assembling a device for this purpose, which will then have to be disassembled and cleaned. And if you have to cook “like Malanya’s wedding,” then it won’t even occur to you to complain about the inconveniences that slightly spoiled the impression of this technique. After all, a bowl of ready-made Olivier in a matter of minutes is an argument against which all the shortcomings pale.

Waste (unprocessed pieces) is inevitable, and you have to accept it. Consider the amount of work: when preparing a large pot of salad, you will not pay attention to them. During the test there were more of them than during normal cooking, since we constantly stopped the process. And with a continuous flow of products, they push each other and get less stuck in the cutting parts.

Raw foods produce a higher percentage of waste than cooked foods.

Onions do not lend themselves well to dicing. The instructions do not warn about this and even give recommendations at what speed to cut it (Bosch). Our advice: these same devices have other attachments for grating and fine cutting, which will handle onions better, and you won’t have to fish out pieces of onion from the total mass and cut them manually.

Olivier, vinaigrette and crab salad are not the only areas where the dicing function can be used. Feel free to cut vegetables for soup, side dishes and vegetable stews, fruits for filling a pie or fruit salad.

Assembly, disassembly and cleaning of units and attachments is the weak point of all kitchen appliances. The competitors, unfortunately, are no exception.

The secret of an advanced user: Olivier is built according to strings

For cutting into cubes, I use the simplest device - a thing with a round base, on which thin strings are stretched transversely: they act as a knife. This device is inexpensive, but it helps to significantly speed up the tedious process: 3 medium potatoes can be turned into cubes in 15 seconds!

We “string” the potatoes onto the strings to the desired height and simply turn them clockwise: the row of cubes is ready. It is impossible to get cut or scratched! You can also make cubes from beets, carrots, and eggs. They turn out quite neat, measuring 7x7 mm or 8x8 mm. But cucumbers - both salted and fresh - will have to be cut with a knife: the string will not take them, no matter how hard you try!

If men go to the bathhouse with friends on December 31, then women watch “The Irony of Fate,” hoping that Nadya and Zhenya will get married in spite of all the newfangled sequels, and... they crumble Olivier all day long! And finally, this hard labor will come to an end: after all, devices have appeared that promise... to cut us Olivier! Yes, yes, cubes! Whose cubes come out better? What device does a husband going to the bathhouse simply have to buy? Let's find out from the New Year's test!

1 The Moulinex range includes several other models of meat grinders equipped with an attachment for cutting into cubes.

A wide range of household appliances for working in the kitchen offers the consumer quite a variety of options, among which there is a separate category - a food processor with dicing same size hard fruits and various vegetables. Only a professional chef with high-class skills from a prestigious restaurant can cut all the ingredients for a salad or soup this way.

Manufacturers of universal equipment constantly delight us with new developments. To find out everything technical features and individual nuances of a unit with an unusual function, we advise you to carefully read this article.

The principle is quite simple: the product enters a special compartment where a nozzle is installed in the form of a lattice, equipped with very sharp edges that cut, for example, carrots into identical square-section strips. At the bottom of the grate, a circular knife rotates - it chops the incoming substance into cubes of equal size.

The user's participation consists in the uniform supply of all ingredients using a pusher, and the equipment processes the products at high speed. As a result, in a few minutes you will get so much salad that you can feed not only the whole family, but also numerous guests. By hand, one would have to work hard for many hours to prepare a wide range of dishes, for example, for New Year's Eve.

A food processor for cutting vegetables is designed for those who like to pamper their family members with aesthetically designed dishes every day, and not just on holidays. Smart technology saves you time and effort, completing tasks quickly and efficiently.

Criterias of choice

The main criteria for the correct choice are power, programmed quantity functionality, the presence of nozzles, a sufficient volume of working capacity (what material is it made of - the best option is stainless steel), and also do not forget about the convenience and safety of the work being carried out.

Before purchasing such a smart assistant, you need to decide what functions you need for constant use: a blender, a meat grinder, a juicer, with attachments for kneading dough, chopping food into neat squares or slices and straws. Many consumers have already studied enough, for example, an immersion blender, and its capabilities no longer satisfy them.

The design must also be taken into account so that the appearance of kitchen gadgets does not disturb the idyll of the interior. Harvesters with the function of cutting original cubes or triangular pieces are universal equipment that is quite easy to operate - any housewife, after several days of communicating with a smart unit, becomes an experienced user.

Overview of machines with dicing function

For the domestic model average cost 8.5 thousand ₽, power - 0.7 kW, two speeds, maximum - 17 thousand revolutions per minute, large-volume working capacity. Equipment: universal knife, fine and coarse graters, discs for cutting into strips, cubes and French fries. Overload protection is installed, and there is a container for storing components.

In their reviews, users indicate excellent assembly and quality of work, speed - preparing products for borscht takes no more than 5 minutes. Nice design, ease of use, with this purchase the kitchen wins in terms of automation home production. The disadvantages include a short power cord and noise level, albeit short-term.

Multi-cutting is French quality, original design and multifunctionality: a set of 5 original type and design of attachments allows you to cut products in the form of homogeneous 9.5x9.5 mm cubes, strips or slices. A small power of 280 W allowed the model to receive only 4 points out of five possible, but all components can be stored in a transparent container, secured with magnets, the price is 7.5-12.5 thousand rubles.

Advantages: original design, convenient use, automatic regulator speed independently selects the pace and mode of processing products. It will cut salads from boiled vegetables quite quickly, just do not forget to cool - otherwise it will be mashed. Disadvantages: low power does not allow processing hard fruits and raw vegetables, although onions cut into halves are processed without problems.

The brand is manufactured by the United States of America, a functional combine with a power of 650 W, which is the minimum for such a product, two speeds plus a pulse mode, and has three working bowls of 1/2.4/4 liters, which fold up like Russian nesting dolls when stored.

Ingenious cutting into 8x8 mm cubes for quickly making salads, the main task is cutting, chopping vegetables, meat and hard fruits, the developers guarantee a long service life. Among the negative features are poor kneading of hard dough, lack of a blender and juicer, insufficient power for such a high price.

Review of popular models of blenders with dicing function, features and tips for choosing

Leading engineers are working day and night to come up with new kitchen gadgets to help housewives who want to spend less time cooking. One of the latest developments in the field of small household appliances is a blender with an additional function of chopping food into cubes.

Devices for cutting food into cubes: from vegetable cutters to blenders

Every housewife strives to prepare food faster, but no one wants the quality of the dish to suffer. Manufacturers offer to reduce the time spent cutting vegetables. There are various devices for these purposes:

• Manual vegetable cutters cut beautifully, are easy to clean and assemble, and are inexpensive.
• Electric vegetable cutters are not popular; you can only buy such a device on the Internet or in a TV store; the price is too high for a monofunctional device.
• Food processors can do a lot of things, but they can be difficult to assemble, take up a lot of space and are expensive.
• Meat grinders for cutting food into cubes are worthy rivals to food processors, but have little functionality, but their price is lower.
• Cube blenders are appliances that have earned their place in the kitchens (and hearts) of consumers; They are compact, easy to use and have the capabilities of a food processor.

What's good about a dicing blender?

At its core, this is the same blender with the usual functionality. It can blend, chop, puree and make smoothies. All dishes that a classic unit can prepare can also be prepared by an electrical appliance with a slicing function. What makes it unique is the addition of an additional attachment to the kit, which allows you to make cubes from any product.

If the owner has something like this kitchen helper, she won’t have to spend a lot of time chopping salad ingredients. Everything can be done efficiently and quickly using a blender. Among other things, the dish will look aesthetically pleasing, because all the cubes will be the same size, which can never be achieved by cutting food by hand.

Such a unit can be safely purchased instead food processor, the electrical appliance will be able to perform all the main functions just as well. At the same time, the blender has a significant advantage - it takes up less space.

The model is successful in terms of design and configuration, the price is good. This is where the advantages of this device end. According to reviews from owners of this model, the quality of the material and workmanship is disgusting. Vitek VT-1480 GY works with varying success. The knives become dull after the first month of use, therefore they become smooth beautiful cubes no longer. It does not save the housewife’s time, because the products get clogged in all the cracks and it is very inconvenient to clean the parts after use.
