Wet Chopping - was Chicken Salad

[Guest guest]

Any strainer will work - wet chopping involves chopping veggies while they are floating in water (makes it possible to chop more - a greater volume) With dry chopping you can only chop about a cup at a time.Here is a video of wet chopping (but I don't pulse it, I use the slower speeds and the tamper liberally) the tamper helps push the bigger chunks down towards the blades so that they get chopped.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRdoxvGO13I With my method the chunks of veggies are bigger. I use white cabbage, red cabbage, carrot, and onion in my wet chopped cabbage and usually run it at variable 4ish (again, using the tamper liberally).

Can I ask what you need the strainer for and what kind would you recommend?
