View Full Version : Don't buy a slapchop...

Ok...... so I got a slapchop.
This dirty son of a bitch Vince convinced me that this invention would save time, and help me eat healthy.
**** Vince and his goddamn nuts.
fettuccine, linguine, martini, bikini...suck my weenie you douche bag.
Let me tell you what this holy terror of a kitchen utensil does.....absolutely nothing.

Let's look at a few things:
1. This thing is made of plastic and has a sharp blade hooked to a sprung and a plunger.
This is a poor combination to begin with..
2. The slapchop is about the size of a coffee grinder, which means to you need to slapchop size your food prior to actually using the slapchop. In order to do that you need a knife, if I have a knife in my hand already I may as well chop the ****in vegetable right then and there.
3. One slap for large sizes, 2 to slaps for smaller sizes, three slaps for a fine dice....**** you.
Here's what it actually goes like. One slap, twist and pry on plunger because vegetable is wedged in the cutting mechanism. Two slaps, still ****ing wedged and no smaller than the last slap.... why? because the ****ing blade didn't actually cut anything..it just did a quarter turn with potato stuffed inside. Three slaps, another quarter turn and now your potato is wedged so far into the ****ing machine the plunger won't come out.
Now since the veg is stuffed deep inside this devil contraption you must now take the damn thing apart, easier said than done. Vince says "its easy as one two three" **** YOU VINCE!
Its easy to take apart sans potato stuffing however once those blades are full it becomes more difficult.
Picture this, a slapchop full of potato, the plunger is stuffed all the way to the bottom so you can't undo the top part, and it won't turn enough to pry the bottom protector part off.
Now keep in mind that this contraption has a sharp ****ing blade in it...so using your fingers to pry out the potato chunks is ill advised.
What do you do? Get a tool if course....now because you already had to cut your vegetable to slapchop size you happen to have a knife close by.
It only makes sense to use that to dig out the jammed veg.
Ahem...at this point the slapchop is no longer a slapchop, it suddenly becomes a spring loaded vegetable cannon!
As soon as you wiggle a tiny piece of the vegetable in question out of harms way you can fully expect to get showered in large chunks of potato (or onion, or peppers)...remember these are large chunks that fly fast and hard.....because this stupid ****ing device hasn't actually CUT ANYTHING!
I am going to personally kill the man that invented this goddamn thing...in fact I'm going to use it on his nuts....because Vince says it works great on nuts...in fact so well that we are going to love his nuts.
I bet this stupid sonofabitch has a SNUGGIE as well.....you jonestown punch making cockhead.

Why on earth did you buy it? You've seen the commercial. So you knew before you bought it that it could only handle like half a egg and a tiny piece of ham.

I'm really skinny and eat like a bird so the amt. that could be slapped was insignificant to me. I also like to slap things...

Glass cutting boards must have been created by woman. Only a woman would make up such a stupid thing....lol

After 10 years in the culinary field I can tell you with all honesty if you want to dull your knifes and have glass shards everywhere get a glass cutting board.:D

This is a good thing that your Italian wife is afraid of sharp knives.
