3/8" Dice

With blades intersecting at every 3/8", this dicer consistently creates uniform dices for your facility. When your employees arrive in the morning, they can quickly cut dozens of products at a time and store them away for later. Then, when the lunch rush hits your establishment, you'll be prepared for high-demand orders and won't be wasting valuable time cutting up fruits and vegetables by hand.

Stainless Steel Assembly

Featuring razor-sharp stainless steel blades, this dicer cuts cleanly and precisely in one swift, fluid motion. Simply press down on the push block and watch as your product is smoothly transformed into uniform pieces. And, because the stainless steel is resistant to corrosion, you'll never have to worry about blade contact with tomato juice and other acidic substances.

Weighted Handle

This model uses an exclusive weighted handle and superior engineering for smooth, easy cutting in just one stroke. The extra-heavy handle on the Nemco Easy Chopper II does most of the chopping work for you, reducing the manual force need to chop fresh veggies.

Non Skid Feet

For stability, the four rubber feet keep the unit from sliding during operation.

Easy to Maintain

For easy maintenance, the blade assembly and push block come apart quickly when it's time for cleaning.

Cast Aluminum Construction

To ensure that it's able to withstand rigorous daily use, this dicer is made of durable cast aluminum.

Vegetable Dicers

Dicing vegetables for soups, salads, and your signature dishes has never been easier! Use the Nemco N55500-1 Easy Chopper to save time and labor as you quickly slice and dice onions, tomatoes, potatoes, celery, and more.

And that is the Nemco Easy Chopper Vegetable Dicer. Let’s take a closer look. First, we offer both the standard Easy Chopper and the Easy Chopper II for larger vegetables. We stock both of these with cut sizes of 3/8 of an inch and quarter inch, and the Easy Chopper II also comes in a half inch cut size. Now onions aren’t the only veggies that these things will chop. Let’s say you wanted to chop a cucumber. First thing you do is slice these ends off here to make nice square ends. Put your cucumber in the Easy Chopper and press down, and you have these beautiful little batons here. Now, if you would want to dice this, all you’ll have to do is gather up your batons, stack them in a line, cut them so they’ll fit, and you can see, perfect dice. How about a tomato? This tomato is a little large. You can see I already cored it. I’m going to just cut it in half, and then I’m going to put it in the Easy Chopper just like so. Put it right down on the blade. Be careful not to cut yourself. And then you’re just going to punch it right down. You can see how easily that chopped it. Now if you want to make it a finer dice, just put these pieces back on top, and you can see what kind of nice dice we got out of that. Perfect for making salsa. Now the next thing I’m going to dice is a potato. I’m going to dice this up for some soup. First thing I’m going to do though is I’m going to cut this in half, so when I go to make the batons they are going to be small enough to put back on this dicer grid. You can see what I’m going to do right here is just put it right there. Now sometimes with something like a potato, it’s going to take two pushes to get this through here, but let’s see how this goes. There you can see how that worked. Now you just take your batons that you made, now this makes perfect French fries this way if I put the whole potato in, it would make nice long fries. But if you want to see a nice dice here, just go like this, make sure they are all on the grid, keep your hand out then, and you can see what a perfect dice that is. The blades and pusher blocks are very long lasting on the Nemco Easy Chopper, but if you wanted to change either of those, you can find them in the companion items section of this page. To take the blade assembly off, just remove the pusher block assembly, and then you will just pull these rubber stoppers up off the guide posts. Once that’s done, you can take just your blade assembly, and slide it up the guide posts. You can either do this to clean it or if you wanted to change this whole assembly you can go ahead and put your new assembly on. Now, if you wanted to change the pusher block or the individual blades within this assembly, you can find short videos on how to do that in the item descriptions for those products.

We were in need to produce a larger volume of tomatoes slices for our burgers and chopped onions for our hotdogs. This was an vital purchase to improve productivity for a large volume being used daily. We highly recommend this product for anyone that is also facing this dilemma.

Good product! Efficient and sturdy. Great for break down of veg in large quantities. It does require some force but if your busting through a 50# sack of onions your not looking to finesse the process.

I love my vegetable dicer! Makes chopping so quick and uniform! The only cons is cleaning it out. And no chopping anything mushy (ie eggs) because it gets stuck on top.

One of the best small gadgets I've gotten for our kitchen. We've had it for several months and it gets used daily a lot. The blades are still sharp. Well do about 25 pounds of onions or peppers in minutes. Wish I would've bought it years ago.

Wish I had bought it years ago. Doesn't take up much space on counter so I leave it out and can chop an onion in 2 seconds. I put a measuring cup underneath to catch the pieces and if I want a smaller dice I dump them back on top and whack them again, voila.

Every restaurant should have one of the these. Same time, and prevent injury for a very small investment. This will last forever, simply change the blades based on usage.

I ordered the Easy Chop by Nemco with some accessories. This machines is much better than I expected and ordered on Thursday and received it on Saturday FedEx- I was able to use it on the weekend, which I really appreciated. I use it primarily for cutting food for dehydrating and canning (about 500 jars a year). I also purchased the Easy Chop II. With these appliances I am preparing 4 times as fast! I did have a need to use the "online chat", however I would personally rather the phone. They gave me Nemco's customer service number and based on that enlighting conversation I purchased the Easy Chop. Great company, fast delivery, and awesome products at good prices. I will using them again! Mike

I was hesitant when the Chef requested a 'chopper', but after the crew got the hang of it they were definitely whipping through some of the prep items faster. Good construction, nice unit.
