- Snap the non-slip base under the container and turn it both ways to make sure it’s properly attached to the mechanism.

Freehand Technique:
Hold the chopper vertically and repeatedly turn clockwise and counterclockwise with your other hand. This technique provides more strength to the operation.
Countertop Technique:
Place the chopper on the counter and hold the chopper at a 45° angle. Make back-and-forth movements until the desired cut and texture are obtained. This technique provides speed for the rotation of the blades.
- Remove the blades first and then, the food.
IMPORTANT:
The countertop and the base of the chopper must be clean and dry. The Mini Rolling Chopper will otherwise slip and the blades will not turn.
RECOMMENDATIONS
- It is recommended to start with the freehand technique as it provides more strength at the beginning of the process when there is more resistance. You can finish the operation by using the countertop rolling technique.
- This provides faster. Rotation when resistance is weak.
- Avoid liquid ingredients.
CLEANING
- All the pieces are detachable and dishwasher-safe (top rack) except for the non-slip base. To remove the base, place fingers on the container and the base and pull firmly. Separate the scrapper from the cover.
- After washing, if the rolling mechanism works with less efficiency, food particles, and residue or soap may be lodged into the mechanism. Remove the non-slip base and rinse the mechanism with hot water from the tap. Replace the base and make back-and-forth motions to make sure the base is firmly in place.
