A new kitchen gadget has been developed which allows the user to chop, cut and grate vegetables in extra-quick time.Slap Chop, which can be viewed at Slapchop.com, is a dome-shaped appliance which can be placed over food, enabling the user to perform quick chopping actions via a plunger at the top.The patented gadget design positions its blades in a W shape, thereby leaving little space in between the blades to create a faster chopping motion. Regular choppers have their blades placed in an X position, leaving huge spaces between the blades, claims the company. These spaces trap food particles, making chopping slow. In addition, the gadget can be opened up for easy cleaning in a dishwasher or over the kitchen sink.Earlier this week, a report by NorthJersey.com suggested that homeowners with open-plan living areas and kitchens should ensure their appliances and utility fixtures like kitchen taps and sinks are aesthetically pleasing.
