Identify this kitchen gadget/hand chopper (Kuhn Rikon Twist & Chop)
December 14, 2004 1:21 PM
KitchenGadgetFilter: after literally begging my sister for weeks to tell me something she'd like for Xmas that didn't just involve stuff for the kids, she finally mentioned last night that she saw some cool hand chopper for onions and shallots in a recent issue of Saveur. [+]
I don't have immediate access to Saveur, and for various reasons I'd like to get this purchased (online, preferably) in the next day or two. A search of Sur La Table online didn't bring up anything that I could tell for sure was what she was referring to. Any Saveur readers out there care to point me in the right direction? (My sister and I both thank you.)

Several manufacturers make them.

I'm not sure exactly which one she wants -- she specifically said "the one in the recent Saveur," but since I don't have the recent Saveur (and can't search it online) I can't be sure precisely which one she's referring to. (I also found this one.) I guess I'm hoping that a regular Saveur reader will know the exact model she's referring to (because honestly, they all look good to me).

If no one has it, you could check your library - they might have a subscription to Saveur.

D'oh. I should have read the question a little more carefully.
I think I found what you're looking for.
From the Saveur Marketplace page (about halfway down), is the Kuhn Rikon Twist & Chop.

Awesome! I bet that's it... I somehow managed only to search the site generally, not the marketplace itself. Thanks much.

It was probably that other one (my copy's at home, I'm at work), but this Garlic Twist looks pretty cool too.

I checked my November and December copies - the Twist & Chop is in both issues, pgs. 111 and 100, respectively. Just a photo ad, though, no other info. I didn't see any other onion choppers discussed in either issue.

Williams Sonoma carries them in-store (I'm not sure where you are, but if you've got a Sur La Table, you've probably got a Williams Sonoma).
