Chinese Choppers & Cleavers

Using a Chinese chopper involves mastering a few techniques for versatility.

For chopping and dicing, use the blade's middle section, applying even pressure for uniform cuts.
For finer tasks like mincing garlic or herbs, use the blade's front part, rocking it back and forth over the ingredients.
Slice meats and vegetables by using a fluid, gliding motion, allowing the sharp edge to do the work with minimal force.
When handling a Chinese chopper, maintain a firm grip on the handle, keeping your fingers tucked safely away.
