Comments on: “Alligator” Vegetable Dicer http://www.kosherblog.net/2006/02/05/alligator-vegetable-dicer/ Finding the finer side of everyday kosher living Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:37:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Kevin http://www.kosherblog.net/2006/02/05/alligator-vegetable-dicer/#comment-20303 Kevin Wed, 19 Nov 2008 17:33:08 +0000 http://www.kosherblog.net/2006/02/05/alligator-vegetable-dicer/#comment-20303 I have a general question about all dicers. I understand that it dices onions because there are many layers. But what of the other fruits and veggies in which that is not the case. Seems to me you would just get square strips out of it ..... Help ... confused !! I have a general question about all dicers. I understand that it dices onions because there are many layers.

Have had it for nearly two years now and it works flawlessly. The only problem I've had is that the little plastic tabs that keep the plastic collection box affixed to the base chipped off and I now have to hold the box in place over the unit as I chop. Bridge is trying to get it replaced for me by the manufacturer. So many people who have seen this item were amazed that they asked me to email them Bridge Kitchenware's URL and promptly purchased the item.

I use it to do onions, peppers, celery,cucumbers and FIRM tomatoes. I have learned to put my hand over the top so that the veggies do not fly all over the place. The only problem I had was in removing the cleaning grid. I pulled too hard and put a crack in it. It is still usable. I purchased 8 of these this past Christmas and gave them as gifts. Everyone has told me how much they love using it. Practice makes it much easier. I have yet to try carrots or any other veggie/fruit. If you use firm tomatoes this will make a good salsa.

It collapsed with the first half-onion. The metal blades came out of the frame, a dangerous mess. In addition, the sharp metal blades cut off a piece of the cleaning comb. Needless to say, I returned it promptly. Sur la Table sells the same item; I have yet to try the one at Williams-Sonoma, which is actually less expensive than that at koshergourmetmart.com ($29.95 vs. $32.00 before tax and/or shipping, see comment #2) although the latter offers 3 blades.

It comes with 3 insert blades that are interchangeable-one is a slicer and the others are like the onion chopper and can dice vegetables and fruits. William Sonoma will private label it with only 2 blades. It costs $32+shipping. A photo will appear soon. http://www.koshergourmetmart.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1944&osCsid=2830ad4b17e593bd37f76f16f7228ad5 we now have a fruit/vegetable chopper.

It is a snap to use and works well on most veggies. I believe it needs a much stronger frame as I have already developed cracks in the slicer at the corners from using on tougher skinned items like peppers. But I think it is a great tool and a heavy duty model would be worth a premium. I have been using the alligator for several months. It is a snap to use and works well on most veggies.

This might have been our fault - we were chopping some sprouted onions at the time. We have bought another one (the triumph of faith over experience) and will report if it also breaks. Alyssa said she will try and see if the company will replace our broken one. We bought the onion chopper for Alyssa, and loved it initially, but it broke in less than 3 months.
