Cooking involves many steps, from choosing what to eat to food shopping and prepping all the ingredients. Thankfully, there are clever kitchen gadgets that can help you whip up any dish with ease and streamline your cooking, including a tool Mindy Kaling often uses when she’s making food for her family.
"I love to find any cheats that save time but still make it possible to put a home-cooked meal on the table,” the actress shared last summer in Better Homes & Gardens. The Kuhn Rikon Pull Chopper from Amazon was one of the tips she shared in a video about the things that make her “life better.” She loves using the manual food processor to get her ingredients, including onions, garlic, and peppers, “cut up really fast.”
Last month, she shared a video using the manual food processor to mince garlic while recreating a buttered noodle recipe. Earlier this year, she posted a video using the tool to dice red onions for spaghetti squash boats. It's clear that the actress has hit on something with this clever hack that produces perfectly sliced vegetables.
This chopper is a great gadget to add to your kitchen. If you cook nearly every day, cutting vegetables and herbs by hand can be time-consuming, and this chopper will drastically reduce your prep time. Simply cut your produce into chunks that fit inside, secure the lid, and pull the handle to rotate the three flat stainless steel blades. The more you tug on the handle, the finer your ingredients will be.

It is also microwave and dishwasher safe (except the lid, which should be washed by hand), and it takes up hardly any kitchen real estate. The gadget can hold up to two cups, but if you need a bigger size, there is a 3-cup option available.
Mindy Kaling isn’t the only person who finds this tool helpful. Over 4,600 Amazon shoppers have given the manual food processor a perfect rating. One shopper "was blown away by how well it works!" and added, “It cuts down dinner prep by so much. It’s a great time saver.”
Another reviewer stated, “Worth every penny. This is the best chopper I’ve ever used.” And a final person wrote, "This is one of the best buys I've made for the kitchen…I'm very pleased with the sharpness of the blades and quality of the plastic.”
Head to Amazon and snag the Kuhn Rikon Pull Chopper for an easy meal prep hack.
