Peeling potatoes, chopping vegetables, mincing meat or opening a bottle can quickly call for several different tools. For individuals, families and home cooks, multi-purpose kitchen utensils bring several functions together while helping to keep your drawers clutter-free.
This selection features three very different options: a manual chip cutter with a peeler, multi-purpose kitchen scissors and an electric chopper with a glass bowl. We’ll compare how they work, their practical features and how they could fit into your everyday routine.
A versatile tool is only useful if you actually use its different functions. A manual chip cutter is ideal for preparing potatoes and vegetable batons. A vegetable peeler can complement the set for carrots, cucumbers and courgettes.
Multi-purpose kitchen scissors combine several uses in one tool: cutting herbs, poultry or vegetables, as well as a nutcracker, bottle opener and fish scaler. If you want to prepare chopped ingredients quickly or achieve a finer texture, a mini electric chopper is generally a better choice.
Stainless steel is commonly used for blades and accessories that come into contact with food. Before buying, take the time to check the product details and care instructions. A non-slip base, ergonomic handle or sufficiently long lever can improve stability and reduce the effort required.
For electrical appliances, also check that they’re compatible with a French 230 V electrical supply, and look for safety information and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Compliance details should be included on the product page or in the instruction manual.
Removable blades generally make washing easier, but handle them with care. For a chopper with a glass bowl, check whether the bowl is dishwasher-safe and whether the various accessories are easy to take apart. A compact design is also useful if your cupboards are already full.
See the manual chip cutter details
This set combines a manual vegetable cutter, a chip cutter and a peeler. Its all-metal design is made for preparing potatoes, carrots, courgettes, cucumbers and other firm vegetables.
It comes with two stainless steel grids:
The long lever lets you apply pressure gradually, while the non-slip base helps keep the utensil steady on the worktop. The grids can be removed for easier cleaning. The blades are still sharp, so keep your fingers clear and dry each part thoroughly before putting everything back together.
This model is well suited to households that regularly make homemade chips, roast vegetables or crudités. It could also appeal to anyone looking for evenly cut pieces without having to get out a food processor.
See the multi-purpose kitchen scissors details
These scissors bring several tools together in a design that’s easy to store. Their stainless steel blades can be used to cut herbs, vegetables, poultry and some small bones, within the limits set by the manufacturer.
The handles also incorporate:
This combination means you don’t need to reach for lots of different utensils when preparing a meal. It’s particularly handy for quick, occasional tasks that don’t warrant getting several tools out.
These scissors are a good fit for kitchens with limited storage space, as well as for anyone looking for a versatile extra tool. To protect the blades and mechanism, follow the washing instructions and dry the utensil thoroughly after cleaning.
See the 2 L electric chopper details
This electric meat chopper has a stated power rating of 300 W and comes with a transparent 2 L glass bowl. Depending on the texture you’re after and the instructions in the manual, it can be used to chop or blend meat, fruit, vegetables and baby food.
Its four stainless steel blades are arranged across two levels. The two speed settings let you adjust the result, from a coarse chop to a finer texture. The transparent bowl lets you keep an eye on the chopping without opening the appliance.
For regular use, it’s best to work in short pulses and stick to the recommended quantities. The product details recommend portions of 250 g in particular, for best performance. The glass bowl is described as dishwasher-safe, while the non-slip feet help keep the appliance stable on the worktop.
This chopper is ideal for families and home cooks who prepare stuffing, chopped vegetables, purées or small quantities of food. Its glass bowl may also appeal to anyone who wants to keep an eye on the preparation and clean the bowl easily.
Your needs will depend on the size of your household, the recipes you make and the space you have available. Some people may prefer a 2 L vegetable chopper, while others might be looking for a vegetable cutter, peeler or more compact manual tool.
To compare other sizes and functions, browse our selection of versatile kitchen utensils. You’ll find more food preparation accessories for chopping, mincing and everyday tasks.
A manual chip cutter with interchangeable grids lets you choose between different cutting sizes. Check that the base is stable and easy to clean, and look for a peeler if you’d like to combine several steps.
It can chop a wide range of ingredients, but the result depends on the quantity, how long you pulse it for and the texture you want. An electric chopper also needs a mains socket and more careful cleaning around the blades.
Remove any detachable parts if the manual allows it, wash them with the recommended product and dry them thoroughly. Handle blades by their blunt edges and store accessories out of children’s reach.
