For some, chopping vegetables can be therapeutic and enjoyable, but for others it can seem like a tedious task. Many recipes start with dicing an onion, slicing a carrot, cubing a potato, or shredding a zucchini, and sometimes that can be a turn-off if you’re tired from a long day or don’t feel like dirtying a cutting board.
That’s where Aldi’s new Crofton Compact Multi-Function Chopper comes into play. This handy gadget is the perfect tool for shredding, grating, chopping, and slicing just about any produce you can think of. Simply choose a blade, place it on top of the handled container, snap the safety protector onto the vegetable, and get to work.
The container will catch the product, which can be used immediately or refrigerated with the lid on until it’s time to cook. The entire process takes a fraction of the time it takes to use a chef’s knife if you’re not accustomed to chopping loads of veggies.
It’ll also make shredding cheese and grating fresh garlic, ginger, turmeric, and horseradish a breeze. Or if you’re making homemade hash browns, French fries in the air fryer, or dicing sweet potatoes for an easy breakfast hash, this unit will be your new kitchen sidekick.
Crofton Compact Multi-Function Chopper, $9.99 at Aldi
The set includes a slicer blade, a grater blade, a shredder blade, a grater panel, a hand protector, a colander, a container with an anti-slip base and a removable handle and a container lid. It can slice, grate, shred and chop a variety of fruits and vegetables with ease. Available in green and cream colors, the chopper set will have you whipping up veggie-packed pasta dishes, casseroles, and soups in no time.
Since it’s dishwasher-safe, it also takes the chore of handwashing out of the picture. (Unless you really want to.) Simply take apart the pieces, place them on the top rack in your dishwasher, and let the machine clean them for you. And because it’s compact, tuck it away in a drawer or cupboard until next time it’s needed.

As an added bonus, this chopper is a steal at just $9.99, which is significantly less than other popular choppers typically sell for. It’s a minimal investment for something that can be used daily.
It drops in stores on Oct. 29, with a host of other kitchen gadgets you may end up adding to your cart. Don’t wait long, as Aldi Finds are typically inexpensive and go fast.
