Vegetable Chopper FAQs

Is a Cleaver Good for Vegetables?

Veg cleavers are generally associated with meat, however they can be an excellent choice for vegetable chopping. A good veg chopper can tackle sturdy fruits and vegetables such as squash and pineapple, and makes quick work of smaller produce.

Can You Use a Chinese Cleaver For Everything?

A Chinese cleaver is an extremely versatile kitchen tool. They are robust enough to tackle larger vegetables but are also used for slicing meat, chopping herbs and finely slicing smaller vegetables. If using meat, make sure there are no bones, a Chinese cleaver is not as tough as a butcher's meat cleaver.

What Is The Difference Between a Meat Cleaver and a Vegetable Cleaver?

A vegetable cleaver is not as heavy and thick as a meat cleaver. This makes them ideal for cutting vegetables as you can slice with more precision. A meat cleaver needs a thicker blade to be able to easily chop through animal bones and skin.

How Often Should You Sharpen a Vegetable Cleaver?

Your vegetable cleaver should be kept sharp to be in optimal condition. How often you sharpen it depends on how often it is used. As a general rule, we’d recommend sharpening your knife when it starts to drag or feel harder to use as it means the edge is blunt.
