{"product_id":"meat-chopper-ground-beef","title":"Meat Chopper for Ground Beef — 5-Blade Heat Resistant Meat Masher","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis meat chopper breaks ground beef into small, even crumbles right in the pan. Five wide beveled blades fan out from the end of an 11 in (28 cm) heat resistant shaft, so you press and twist instead of hacking at the meat with a spatula. It suits anyone who browns ground meat for tacos, chili or pasta sauce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this meat chopper works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5 wide beveled blades.\u003c\/strong\u003e The pinwheel head is 2.44 in wide and 2.16 in tall, so each press splits a clump from several sides at once.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat resistant.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use it in the hot pan while the meat cooks, not only after.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle with a finger stop.\u003c\/strong\u003e A raised ring between the handle and the shaft gives your grip a place to rest when you press down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore than ground meat.\u003c\/strong\u003e It also mashes potatoes, avocado for guacamole, tomatoes and boiled eggs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDishwasher safe.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse off the fat and put it in the utensil basket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat resistant plastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28 cm (11 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlade head\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.19 cm wide x 5.4 cm tall (2.44 x 2.16 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBlades\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5, wide and beveled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual, no electricity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIn the box\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 meat chopper\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCare\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre ground meat choppers worth it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you brown ground meat every week, yes.
