1.5-cup glass food chopper
The KitchenAid 291 is a manual food chopper built around a 1.5-cup glass container and 18/8 stainless steel plane-edge blades. It handles onions, eggs, vegetables, fruit, nuts and similar soft ingredients with a simple plunger action. The spring-loaded mechanism lifts the blades automatically for repetitive chopping. The compact 3.5 x 8-inch footprint stores easily in a drawer or cabinet.
1.5-cup capacity and soft-ingredient limits
The glass base holds up to 1.5 cups of food per batch, making it suited to small salads, snacks, tuna, hard-boiled eggs and similar prep tasks. It runs out of headroom quickly with large volumes or firm produce such as raw carrots or potatoes. The spring-action plunger is designed for softer textures; tough or fibrous items will not chop cleanly and may stall the mechanism.
Manual spring-action operation
The chopper relies entirely on hand pressure and the internal spring to return the blades, so speed and consistency depend on the user. The glass base is dishwasher safe while the lid, blades and plunger require hand washing. The unit contains no battery or motor, so it cannot be used for continuous processing or high-volume batches that an electric food processor would handle.

Questions about this item
Will the 1.5-cup glass base fit inside my existing kitchen drawer alongside other tools?
The chopper measures 3.38 inches wide by 8.13 inches long, so it fits in most standard drawers with room to spare.
How can I confirm the spring-action plunger is lifting the 18/8 stainless steel blades correctly after assembly?
Press the plunger and watch the blades rise automatically; they should return to the up position each time without sticking.
Does the package include the glass base and blades, or must I buy the base separately?
The box contains the glass base, lid with integrated 18/8 stainless steel blades, and plunger — everything needed to start chopping.
