Cauliflower Rice in the Pull and Chop

PA Mom-mom — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 18:25:53 GMT

I've only been making cauliflower rice for about a year, and I usually bash it in a zip lock bag, or cut it by hand. Both methods take pretty long. I don't have a food processor because my kitchen is quite small, and I just don't have frequent need for it.

Today, I decided to use my Pull and Chop. It worked beautifully. It took me about 15 minutes to do a head of cauliflower, because I had to do it in about 4 or 5 batches. The "rice" was so even and not mushed up at all. Will do it this way from now on. Highly recommend if you don't have a food processor, or if you don't want to get it out.

ETA: I'm chopping raw cauliflower, not cooked.

Wonderful idea!😃 I really appreciate your sharing this to because I don't have a food processor either.

Thanks again.🌸

I've never heard of a pull and chop. Is this an electrical appliance or a tool of some sort?

@Tinkrbl44 They come in many forms, but this is what I bought from QVC. It's made by Kuhn Rikon, and I've been using it for many years.

I gave them to all my kids and friends. Unfortunately, I don't think they are available on QVC right now, but they will be I'm sure. Probably on Amazon.

I remember another company marketing it as the Slap Chop too.😃

Okay, this is embarrassing ... I must have Shopper's Amnesia!

I actually have TWO of these in boxes in my so-called "gift closet". Never gave them as gifts or even tried one for the heck of it.

Probably bought them ten years ago ... or more!

@Tinkrbl44 Hahahahaha!

Well, now's your chance to try one. I use mine every week - even if it's just for a few cloves of garlic or an onion.

I run it through my Kitchen HQ Speed Grater & Slicer (HSN).

LOL, the infamous gift closet!😃. I usually have a few things, mostly small I have stashed too.

I got 2 pretty nice blenders for Christmas last year, so now I actually have that in the closet. Maybe someone I know with an adult child will get married soon or something lol.😃🌸

The pull chop is just THE BEST! I, too, have purchased more for family and friends than I can count, and I currently have two sizes in my kitchen plus one in a closet in case something ever goes wrong with the others. I really do use it all the time.

QVC has the lowest prices by far when these are in stock, but if you must have a pull chop now, they're always available on Kuhn Rikon's website.

Yes, thank you for the tip on doing cauliflower in the pull and chop @PA Mom-mom

I usually just take the florets off with kitchen shears and microwave. Once soften, the potato masher springs into action and cauliflower mash for days. But, now I'll try your method with my pull and chop and see if I prefer it.

This Kitchen forum had a post back in February about everyone's favorite kitchen gadget. That convinced me to give a pull and chop chance as that fine cutting for me has become a challenge.

I ordered mine from Amazon (under $20), because I wanted a 4-cup pull and chop. 2-cups of anything is a joke as I batch cook. I LOVE IT!

It makes quick work out of quartered onions, garlic cloves, celery, and carrots for soups, stews, pasta dishes, etc.. I've fixed tuna and egg salad right in the pull and chop in minutes. Bonus: I feel like its a mini workout with all the pulling and alternate my arms. LOL

This is what mine looks like below except it is 4-cups. Clean up is a breeze compared to other things I've owned. Thanks @Desertdi for posting the photo.

@wagirl So true! I don't know why it took me so long to try it.
