đź”’ Safety First

Parent Set

  • Sharp blade: Handle and store with care. Never leave the knife on the edge of a counter or within a child’s reach.

  • For adults and teens (12+): Adult supervision is required for younger users learning with the sharp blade.

  • Holding a baby while prepping? Keep their arms and legs well away from the blade.

Finger-Safe Set

  • Not a toy: While the blade is designed to be safe on skin, always supervise use to avoid misuse.  It is a metal tool that may cause injury under abnormal use. 

  • Ages 4+ recommended: Use only with adult guidance to build safe, confident kitchen habits.

Before First Use

For Both Sets

  • Remove the silicone sleeve (Parent Set only): Carefully pull from one end and around the tip. It's just for shipping safety.

  • Wash all parts: Use warm, soapy water on the knife, board, and Chop 'n Pop insert. Rinse well and dry completely before first use.

Using the Totchop Knives

Parent Set (Sharp Knife)

  • Grip: Hold the handle firmly but comfortably.

  • Technique: Use a rocking or chopping motion—avoid slicing to protect the insert.

  • Cleaning: Dishwasher-safe, but hand washing extends the knife’s finish.

Finger-Safe Set (Kid Knife)

  • Grip: Designed for smaller hands—encourage firm but relaxed control.

  • Technique: Same rocking motion as the sharp knife, helping kids mirror your movements and build real skills.

  • Cleaning: Dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.

Using the Totchop Cutting Board & Chop 'n Pop

  • Measurement aides: Use the top-corner circles (minced, diced, chopped) to check bite sizes. The largest circle (½") matches AAP recommendations for safe feeding. See Our Thoughts on Safety for more information. 

  • Prep pocket: Store cut food or separate items easily. You can even use the board as a serving plate!

  • Chop 'n Pop Insert:

    1. Wash before use

    2. Place on the board with “THIS SIDE DOWN” facing down

    3. Rock, don’t slice

    4. Pop it out before washing

    5. Replace as needed

Safe Storage

  • Parent Set knife: Always store out of reach of children. "Grass" drying racks work well.

  • Finger-Safe knife: Can be stored with other utensils but keep supervised access.

  • Want travel storage? Our Cotton Snap-Button Sleeve is available in the travel kit.
