The chopper came in yesterday and I made 8 pints of salsa with ease. This thing is so great, I was able to chop tomatoes with it. Thanks for the suggestion, Rocketman! I think I am sold on Pampered Chef products from this day forward.

I've never heard of the slap chopper. Just googled it and saw a pic. How do you use it? Is it electric or do you push on it? Whats the biggest one you can get?
You "slap" it down, hence the name
It's all manual. As you push (slap) the shaft down, the blades go down to cut and rotate after each turn. Do it quickly and you have chopped veggies in a matter of seconds. I don't think the sizes vary very much. I have seen several models but this is by far the best out there. Easy to clean and it doesn't waste a whole lot of food stuck in the blades like my old one. http://www.amazon.com/The-Pampered-Chef-Food-Chopper/dp/B001AJ17TS
Its hard to forget after seeing the cheesy infomercial. "You're going to love my nuts" lol

There you go
I want one. How long have they been around for? Maybe they might come to Aus.
What is the process of embedding on here? I tried everything and all it would post is code.

I used to sell for them part time. Great gear, I love all that I have however selling has to be a full time job not a part time one.

Ahhhh, I see. Thanks, man. That was the only thing I didn't try
Guess I really didn't try everything 
Shipping will prob cost more than what its worth but i'll find out
Guess what I found for $10 at Target? A cheap version of the slap chopper! We do have them in Oz
Haven't tried it yet and it doesnt look too sturdy but we will see.

A high quality well sharpened 10 or 12" chef's knife will slice through anything...fast, I also use the Imersion blender and a Rosle food mill when making hot sauce, also have a Mandolin which is great for slicing potatoes, cukes, squash, etc... both "mill and mandy" are (S.S.) but they probably make them in plastic.....blah
