This is a manual food chopper that is a bit of a multitasker, so it’s brilliant for families to take on camping trips when you still want to cook but don’t want to be loaded down with kit.

Larger-capacity choppers clearly require more space to store, but the spacious bowls allow you to prep a lot at once or at least to empty less frequently as you chop in batches.

Others are a lot more simple and work by manually pushing the food through a grid of blades. What can you do with a food chopper?
