Okay you a goon but what's a goon to a goblin?
I want to buy something to help me dice veggies quickly. I like to cook, but I am fairly slow and long prep times keep me from cooking quite as often as I'd like to.

I'm used to manual presses like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Weston-83-2014-W-Multi-Chopper/dp/B003ZFWC7G/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1371477799&sr=8-15&keywords=dicer

I'd prefer something manual with an overhead press, though this model seems to be getting lovely reviews. I used a bigger, metal one with a similar design that I really loved, I'm not sure where I could get one of those though.

I am also open to these: http://www.amazon.com/Progressive-I...&keywords=dicer

The hinge kind of worries me, but I figure I am just being anxious about something I'm unfamiliar with.

Finally, I am curious about electric Food Choppers/Processors... do these actually cut into relatively even chunks? I think I'd prefer a manual dicer/chopper because I know I'd get pretty uniform pieces. Could something electronic accomplish this?

No, I don't dislike cutting vegetables. Prep work is actually one of my favorite parts of cooking. I enjoy focusing on making even cuts while enjoying a CD and a(number of) drink(s). It's just that I'm slow to the point where I don't feel like I have time to cook every night, and I'd like to move closer to that.

My knife skills aren't the best though. I could stand to improve there and that'd be helpful in more ways than a chopper would be. I'll check out that Pepin book. Maybe even the DVD(probably not the DVD).
