Ask the Coach!
May 2026
My name is Donna Jodhan and I am using my extensive experience as a sight loss coach as well as my lived experience to share and respond to questions that are submitted to me and I also invite you to share your thoughts on questions asked.
For this month: a question from Marianne in Manhattan NY.
Marianne wants to know if there is such a thing as a gadget that chops, dices, and minces?
My response:
Marianne and most definitely and very easy for a person with sight loss to use.
The one that I am thinking of has 3 distinct blades for doing the above.
Here is an ad that I found.
Chop, dice, and mince your fresh produce with our Professional Chopper! This professional food chopper has three stainless steel blade settings. The 1/2″” chopping blades are ideal for blocks of tomatoes, mangoes, and ham. The 1/4″” dicing blade tackles all of your onion, carrots, and salsa ingredients. Finally, the 1/8″” blades are for mincing stronger produce, such as garlic or spices. Chop the produce directly over a cutting board or into the removable bin that’s included with the chopper. Our Professional Chopper is an excellent device to eliminate food preparation time while producing restaurant-styled cuts.
