![]() Comfortable to use and I like the material it's made from. I have found it to be very durable and strong. ![]() I am sure there are more interesting uses for this item but I haven't figured them all out yet.Ĭleaning is easy in the dishwasher or in the sink right after you are done using it. I use it for spaghetti sauces mostly and browning meat for taco meals. Easy to use too! My kids liked to use it and my husband too. It makes browning hamburger easy, and you don't have big chunks. This is one of my favorite Pampered Chef tools. True Amazing and helpful for hamburger chopping Raw meat gets stuck on this thing everytime you use it.gross. I have had this for awhile but I don't use it enough to claim it's durable. Maybe it's just me, but if this product is supposed to make coking more convenient or quicker, I do not think difficulty cleaning it should be a trade off. I also find it particularly gross when I have to clean the stuck on raw meat out of it before putting it in the dishwasher. So, I use it to break up the meat, but then can't use it once meat starts cooking because there is ALWAYS raw meat left on it. Raw meat has a tendency to get stuck in between the "slats" that separate & chop up the meat. My problem is, while thing is useful in its own right, it is also kind of gross. It is especially helpful if you don't happen to like large chunks of meat in your food, which I do not, or if your meat is not 100% defrosted yet! it helps break it up easier. I have it, use it and it works well for it's intended purpose (breaking up ground beef when browning it). This is very easy to clean because I just put it in the dishwasher. I store it in the same drawer as my other spatulas, and I never had any problems with this breaking. I typically just put it in the dishwasher-normally laying flat on the top shelf. I don't really have any problems with meat sticking to the blades, and it is really simple to wash. It's also heat resistant, so I don't worry about it melting when I use it on the stove like I would with a spatula. When I add other vegetables they are easy to mix into the meat mixture using the mix 'n chop. It's much more convenient than trying to use two wooden spoons to break off the cooked or thawed meat. I use this to break up the meat while it is on the stove or in a dish in the microwave. This is a go-to chopper whenever I make turkey or other ground meat. I often make ground turkey for casseroles, tacos, etc. I absolutely love using this for just about everything in the kitchen. This is where the Pampered Chef Min'N Chop comes in. I try to use as many multi-use kitchen items as possible. I really like cooking, but I don't like all of the clean up time when it comes to washing dishes and other products. The handle is sturdy and comfortable to use. Since the blades are plastic the utensil can be used in nonstick skillets with no damage to the skillet. The blades do a great job of chopping the meat in the skillet. The blades show no damage from the heat of the skillet. It is made of heavy duty plastic and will last a long time. It looks a good as the day I first go it. I just rinse it off and put it in the dishwasher. It is well worth the price and is one of the handiest utensils I have. It is particularly useful if you buy your ground beef in the plastic rolls since the meat tends to stick together when it is cooked. It is particularly good a breaking up ground beef for tacos, sloppy joes, chili, etc. ![]() It does a fabulous job of breaking up meat when you are cooking it. True One of my favorite Pampered Chef products. I use mine often and so far it has lasted several years. Those crevices with trapped meat are the only cleaning issue for me. ![]() I like the finished product (finely ground, evenly-cooked beef) that I am willing to remove some meat with my fingers or a fork while it's cooking, and scrape it down before washing. There are ways around this (scrape the meat off before washing, or just handwash the tool), so it isn't a big enough issue to make me stop using it. And while this product can be washed in the dishwasher, mine will often come out with some of that trapped meat still in there. Now for the flaw: The raw meat often gets stuck in the crevices, forcing me to either 1) dig it out with my fingers or a utensil while cooking, or 2) leave it there and lose some of the meat in the process. I can twist and turn the blades with ease as I chop the meat while it cooks on the stovetop. The nylon material used on this tool prevents it from scratching the pan, and the handle has a comfortable grip. I think it takes a lot less effort and dexterity than using a wooden spoon. ![]() It's my favorite way to chop meat for tacos. It is a wonderful tool for chopping ground beef really finely while cooking. This is a great product with only one big flaw (more on that later). ![]()
