The difference between wet chopping and dry chopping is that this
method uses water or another liquid as the medium that circulates
the items being chopped. Wet chopping is recommended only for
uncooked fruits or vegetables. Water draws the item into the blades
resulting in a uniform chop. The type of chop, whether coarse or fine,
is determined by the speed selected on the Variable Speed Dial. With
wet chopping you can easily prepare vegetables for soups, salads,
stir-frying, side dishes and coleslaw. Wet chopping is also the
recommended preparation for all raw vegetables where a uniform
chop is required (such as salsa). However, when wet chopping
ingredients for salsa, the moisture released by the vegetables allows
the vegetables to circulate into the blades, so no additional liquid
is needed. Plus there is no need to discard the liquid used in this
process – save and use it in sauces and soups.
