Pierre Food Chopper PFC5000

The Pierre PFC5000 Chopper is a compact, lightweight chopper for quick chopping in the kitchen. Thanks to the non-slip rubber base, it stays firmly on the countertop and does not shift while chopping. However, it does not come with an extra mixing bowl. I have to clean the mixing bowl for multiple preparations.

Ease of Use The Pierre PFC5000 is easy to assemble and operate. I choose from 2 settings, depending on how finely I want to chop. The measurement markings on the side of the mixing bowl are handy for measuring ingredients directly. So, for my test, I did not need a separate cup to measure liquids. However, I do not get an extra mixing bowl with this chopper. Do you often make multiple portions at once? Then I would go for the Pierre PFC7000 chopper with extra measuring cups.

Easy and Fast With the Pierre PFC5000 Chopper, I chop small quantities of vegetables, nuts, pieces of cheese, herbs, or onion. Ideal for quick, small portions that I want to chop finely, without having to grab a large food processor. For my test, I made pesto. I put all the ingredients in the mixing bowl and within 30 seconds I had the smooth mixture I wanted. During chopping, the chopper stays stable thanks to the non-slip base, so I didn't have to hold it. The chopper has a sleek, compact design and sits neatly on the countertop. But because it is light and compact, I also easily store it in a kitchen cupboard.

Cleaning All removable parts can go in the dishwasher. I washed them by hand myself. The blade attachment does not click onto the mixing bowl with a magnet and sits loosely inside. When opening and cleaning, I have to be careful not to drop the blade. There are no awkward corners in the mixing bowl, so parts are clean and ready for use again in no time.

The Pierre PFC7000 chopper is a comprehensive chopper with extra grinding cups. This allows me to prepare multiple dishes one after another. The sharp blades chop everything very finely. When I use the large mixing bowl, some ingredients do stick to the bowl. I use a spoon to push these into the mixing bowl.

Ease of use The Pierre PFC7000 is easy to assemble and operate. The chopper has one setting. This is powerful for all small chopping and mixing tasks. This mixing bowl has measuring markings, just like the Pierre PFC5000 chopper. This means I don't need an extra cup to measure liquids. This chopper also comes with 2 extra mixing bowls. This allows me to prepare multiple dishes one after the other. Additionally, I use one of the extra mixing bowls to store my curry paste.

Easy and fast For my test, I made pesto and curry paste. With the extra grinding cups, I can make multiple sauces one after another without any problems. I made the pesto in the large glass bowl. This worked very easily. The cashews were finely ground in a short time. When I added other ingredients, I noticed that a few stuck to the bowl. I pushed these down with a small spoon. After that, the other ingredients mixed together with the cashews without any problems. For the curry paste, I used the small grinding cup. This worked well. Within one minute, I had the smooth mixture I wanted.

Design This food processor has a sleek design and sits neatly on my countertop. The mixing bowl is made of glass, which makes it feel sturdy and look luxurious. Because of the glass bowl, the food processor is a bit heavier, but it remains stable on the countertop while chopping. It sits fine on the countertop, but it is handy that I can detach all the parts. The food processor then fits into a kitchen cupboard without any problems.

Cleaning All detachable parts can go in the dishwasher. This saves time with washing up. I can easily unclip the blade. This allows me to clean the bowl quickly. I did have to be careful to ensure the blade was lying loosely in the mixing bowl. I must not hold the bowl upside down, otherwise the blade falls out. There are no awkward corners in the mixing bowl, so parts are clean and ready for use again in no time.

Great product, cuts everything nice and fine, and when I'm done using it, it can go straight into the dishwasher!
