Slap Chop Gripe (updated Oct 2012 )
Posted: May 11th, 2010, 8:07 am
Ok so I got a slapchop for my Birthday. This dirty sonofabitch Vince convinced me that this invention would save time, and help me eat healthy, so I put it on my Birthday "wish list". Well, 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 f * ckin vegetable right then and there.
3. One slap for large sizes, 2 slaps for smaller sizes, three slaps for a fine dice....f * ck 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 f---ing wedged and no smaller than the last slap.... why? because the f * cking 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 f * cking 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" F * CK 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 f * cking 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 f * cking device hasn't actually CUT ANYTHING!
I am going to personally kill the man that invented this g*ddamn 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.
DO NOT BUY A SLAPCHOP.
I'm ok with the shamwow....of course its a rag so its pretty hard to f * ck that up.

best thread I've seen so far.. in fact, I can guarantee I won't see one as good today, this automatically wins "thread of the day"
