BLACK+DECKER 3-Cup One-Touch Food Chopper — Compact 175W, Bi-Level Stainless Blades

The BLACK+DECKER 3-Cup One-Touch Food Chopper is a compact, 175W electric chopper designed to quickly chop, mix, and puree small batches for sauces, dips, and meal prep with dishwasher-safe parts for easy cleanup.

Make everyday prep faster without sacrificing kitchen space. This small, counter-friendly chopper combines a 3-cup workbowl, bi-level stainless steel blades, and a one-touch control system so you can pulse or chop to the texture you want. The lid includes built-in oil holes for controlled addition of dressings and emulsions while blending, and removable pieces are top-rack dishwasher safe, simplifying post-use cleanup.

How quickly and consistently does it chop ingredients?

The 175W motor and bi-level stainless steel blades slice and mix evenly for small-batch tasks like herbs, nuts, and breadcrumbs. Pulsing gives coarse results while continuous pressing produces finer textures. The assembly is designed to hold blades in an optimal position for repeatable results.

• 175W motor for efficient small-batch power
• Bi-level stainless steel blades for uniform chopping
• Pulse-style one-touch control for texture control
• 3-cup capacity suitable for dips, dressings, and condiments

Can I add oil or liquids while processing?

Yes — the workbowl lid includes small oil holes so you can slowly add oil or other liquid ingredients without stopping the unit. This feature helps create smoother vinaigrettes, hummus, or creamy sauces by allowing gradual emulsification while the blades run. It reduces splatter and keeps your hands free.

• Integrated lid ports let you add liquids while blending
• Controlled addition prevents splashes and over-thinning
• Helps achieve more stable dressings and emulsions

How easy is cleanup and storage?

Removable components—workbowl, lid, and blade assembly—are dishwasher-safe for fast cleanup; attachable parts disassemble quickly for rinsing. The compact footprint and lightweight build make it simple to tuck into a cupboard or keep on the counter. The durable stainless-steel blades stay sharp longer and are easy to rinse by hand if needed.

• Dishwasher-safe removable parts for quick cleanup
• Compact 3-cup bowl for minimal storage space
• Blades detach for safe washing and drying

What recipes and tasks is this chopper best suited for?

This chopper excels at small-scale preparation: salsa, pesto, vinaigrettes, hummus, breadcrumbs, chopped nuts, and minced vegetables. Its size and power are optimized for portions up to about 3 cups, making it ideal for single meals, snacks, or side dishes. Use the one-touch control to switch between coarse and fine textures quickly.

• Perfect for dips like hummus and guacamole
• Great for dressings, vinaigrettes, and quick sauces
• Useful for breadcrumbs, chopped nuts, and minced aromatics

Who is this for? Home cooks, small households, students, and anyone with limited kitchen space who wants a fast, reliable tool for everyday chopping and mixing will benefit. It’s also a good second appliance for larger kitchens when you need speedy small-batch prep without pulling out a full-size food processor. If you want simple controls, dishwasher-safe parts, and a built-in method to add oil while mixing, this BLACK+DECKER chopper is designed to make short work of routine prep tasks.
