can you make mayo in this food chopper?

I haven't tried it, but given the capacity, the drip hole on top I don't see why not. This kitcheaid is like the little engine that could!

Any cheap chopper can process cooked chicken. Go to Walmart-easy to return an item.

I use it for homemade mayo, but I found this http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/06/30/ready-to-fry-first-choose-your-fat/?_r=0. I keep mine in the fridge, but it does solidify.

It will do a coarse chop unless you add liquid or oil. But you should know that the blade has a magnetic pin in the base that sometimes falls into the dish where you pour the chopped or pured food. I made tomato sauce and one of my guests found it in her plate.i hadn't washed the unit immediately after use so I didn't know that the pin had become dislodged. Other mini choppers aren't made like this.

I bought this blender to make homemade mayonnaise as my old blender quit working. In the past I have used a very similar hand blender to blend soups and for making apple sauce, apple butter and jams, etc. There was no problem with the hot soup or jams, but I was careful not to go above the mark indicated on the blender.

I use this oil exclusively for making mayo. However, the recipe I use calls for 1 cup of light tasting (not extra virgin) olive oil, and 1/4 cup of this mac oil. It's delicious! I've never tried making mayo with only the mac oil.

Nope; sorry! I wouldn't recommend it. Just do that separately and then put it in the cooker.

This little chopper chops onions for hot dogs, little pickles for relish, garlic that I put into the jars as chooped garlic, and I filled the tub. It's all about how you process it. If you constantly hold the button down and not let up here and there, you will puree anything. A little zing puts the chunk into the chopper.

It would seem to me that there would be too little space to properly "fluff" salad fixin's unless you had a very deft touch on the pulse switch. I use my KitchenAid 3.5 cup food chopper almost daily and love it for a 'zillion' sundry uses. However, I use a hand chopper to prepare my salads. Just pound on the top and a spring-loaded multi-bladed knife quickly and perfectly every time, no matter the skill level of the operator. You really ought to have the 3.5 cup KitchenAid, but not for chopping salad... In my opinion.

The lid is solid, there's not a plunger to pull out like there is on larger food processors, but I mostly make pesto in mine, and just take the lid off to add extra oil when necessary. I don't know if you're supposed to process mayo for several minutes or not (never made it) but if so, keep in mind that this only chops when the button is being held down as far as I can tell, which is fine for everything I've used it for.

Yes we used it to chop up vegetables actually more like purée the vegetables for the salsa. Just make sure you're using an USDA approved recipe for canning salsa.

I definitely would NOT do that with a food processor. It's really best to use a mixer that explicitly says it's made to handle that (whether a hand mixer or the pricey type with an included bowl that works on its own).

yes it could be used that way dr you can use the square cutter blades to make square fries you just have to slice your vegies the size you would like to use it is also great for making homemade potatoe salad you can dice up your eggs pickles onions and all the other things used in your salad as you know everybody has their own twist on what is added to potatoe salad but dicing your onions and sweating them on medium heat will make your potatoe salad last longer without the onions overpowering the whole dish those onions tend to take over with age if not sweating them down to pretty tender texture but like i say yes this is a very good asset for you kitchen utensils. hope you enjoy it we sure do enjoy ours vegetable sour is a cooks best help the norco big mouth slicer, chopper have a great day

Probably as a chopper or if you want to make sauces.But I wouldn't invest the money in this. I bought it and returned it. A hand blender does the job.

I make mayo with this regularly - half MCT and half light olive oil. Tastes awesome!

Yes. Simply remove one of the other utensils and replace it with a spatula.

I haven't chopped lettuce; however, it's too small to do lettuce. This chopper is great, but meant for smaller foods. For instance, it will chop one clove of garlic or a cup of carrots. It's even useful for chopping foods for the baby.
