DO NOT USE THE TOP OF YOUR CART AS A CHOPPING BLOCK, YOU WILL RUIN AND DAMAGE THE TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU WANT A SCRATCHED TOP, THEN CUT ON IN!!!! I got a huge glass cutting board that is almost the size of the top of the cart........I love the cart,,,,,,,,,great value, strong and sturdy 5 STARS

absolutely! Its just so beautiful it would kill me to add knife marks to it though.

Yes, it is sturdy and heavy enough to be so. And the fact that it is foldable is great, especially if you have a small kitchen!

It is make of a soft wood but not butcher block, you could use it as a chopping block but it might mess up it's appearance after a while.

It's a pretty heavy duty wood surface and certainly can be used that way if you're not concerned about knife marks.

actually I never used the chopping block without using a cutting board of sheet on top. I had a different one and I used it as a cutting board and it left marks like a regular wooden cutting board. Otherwise, I love my cart. I use it for so much. In the beginning I use to fold it up ,but I was always using it for something. I have even used it in my sewing room for extra cutting space. I hope this helps you

The top of the cart is a very useable space that folds away in seconds. Its a solid piece of wood. Doubled my work space in mycrampedkitchen. I doo use cutting board .

Yes, just change the inserts. There are three different sizes for slicing & two for chopping.

No. Carefully study the photos on the box. That is why I ordered this one. I had like three sets of all the other gear from previous choppers - I have been using these for over 18 years now. They are awesome for Salsa, Guacamole, Onion Chopping, Fresh Cranberry Relish and many other things! Chop Chop!

I don't know, but we live in a dry climate and a couple of parts of the butcher block are separating. You will definitely need a true cutting board on top. I love wouldn't cut directly on the attached block.

The top is stainless steel, so technically you can cut directly on it. however, steel with steel knives will dull them more quickly.

no, the top is butcher block. and i seriously think the metal would rust as part of it is enamel and part stainless steel.

I actually stopped using mine. It works fine (as long as you don't overdo it and break the handle) but I got tired of the constant clean up and it takes up a lot of space. I also found it necessary to clean after each use because of fruit flies. It's just as easy for me to chop scraps up while I'm cooking.

No. You'll want to get a food processor for that function. If you tried to dice and chop with this you'd just end up with pulverized mush.

The chopping block has a slit in the top, made for the ulu blade. It will go in most of the way perpendicular to the block. I store it this way, with the sharpener laying in the bowl of the block. It works for me, but I do wish it had a small matching piece of wood to the handle that would slide over the blade, to be able to store flat. There might be some that have this. But I absolutely love my ulu and the chopping block, and use it frequently. It helps with my hands that hurt all the time. Enjoy your ulu!

I'm using mine as a countertop without any additional support underneath. If I were to use it as a free standing chopping block, I think I would use an additional board under the block on which to attach legs.

I like this chopper, but I think it will too fine for your needs. I also use a chopper by Pampered Chef that allows more control on piece size, although not perfectly uniform.

I think it is more trouble than it is useful. I can chop things by hand almost as fast as using this. It doesn't chop evenly. Some of the food will be almost a paste and other parts will be whole. It has to be handwashed. I hardly ever use mine.

No don't use the top as a cutting board, it will ruin it. It's not cutting board material.

This is not a chopping table. We us it as a food prep and eating island in the kitchen. We do use it for butchering elk and deer but only as a cutting board. We love it.

Hi- No, the top is not butcher block. It is beautiful but is laminated wood. One of the people on Amazon suggested mounting the knife block upside down to store cutting boards in it. We didn't do that but don't use the top for food prep. Hope that helps. I will say we REALLY love the size and extra storage space it provides. It's fairly narrow plus we didn't mount the towel or knife rack which makes it the perfect size for us. Good luck in finding a good unit!Valerie

I haven't used the chopping function -- not sure there is one but I suppose you could try. It's a blender so does great at pulverizing. For any chopping I use my knife...and in some small instances will use food processor.

I think you could - just remember to follow the instructions on how long the spurts of chopping should be. But I would use this for the chopping and then to puree I would use one of the hand blenders - that would make it really smooth.
