Hand Chopper TEESA TSA0197, 400 ml capacity, manual food processor

TEESA TSA0197 is a manual hand chopper with a 400 ml capacity bowl designed for chopping vegetables, herbs, nuts and preparing small batches of sauces and dressings. This mechanical food processor operates without electricity via a pull‑cord mechanism that rotates internal blades, offering a compact and portable solution for kitchens, outdoor meals and situations where a powered appliance is not available.

Advantages

The hand chopper provides precise manual control over chopping texture and timing, allowing coarse to fine results depending on the number of pulls. Its 400 ml bowl size is suitable for single‑serving preparations and reduces food waste when processing small quantities. The absence of an electrical motor makes the unit lightweight, quiet and safe to use in environments without power. The sealed bowl design helps contain ingredients and liquids during processing, and the removable blade assembly simplifies cleaning.

Suitable for

• Chopping vegetables such as onions, peppers and carrots for salads and sautés
• Finely chopping fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro and basil
• Processing nuts for baking or garnishing
• Preparing small amounts of sauces, dressings, pesto and dips
• Use during picnics, camping or in kitchens without access to electricity

Key specifications

• Capacity: 400 ml bowl suitable for small batches
• Operation: manual pull‑cord mechanical mechanism (no electricity required)
• Blade type: internal rotating multi‑blade assembly for chopping
• Construction: compact handheld design for portability and storage

How to use

Place prepared ingredients into the 400 ml bowl without overfilling and assemble the lid with the pull‑cord mechanism securely in place. Hold the bowl steady with one hand and pull the cord with the other to rotate the internal blades; repeat short pulls until the desired chop size is achieved. For uniform results, use brief, controlled pulls and check the texture periodically. After use, disassemble the blade assembly from the bowl and rinse or wash components according to the manufacturer’s cleaning guidance.

Usage recommendations

Do not overload the bowl; cut larger items into smaller pieces before processing and avoid prolonged continuous pulling to prevent wear. Keep hands clear of the blade assembly when cleaning and store the unit in a dry place. For best results with herbs and soft vegetables, perform short pulls; for nuts or harder items, use slightly longer or more pulls until the required consistency is reached.
