Hand Cranked Food Processor?

Anyone have a favorite hand operated Food Processor? We camp off the grid a lot and nice to have appliances that don't need electric. Doesn't have to be too heavy duty. Will mostly be used for making hummus or salsa or "creaming" boiled cauliflower, etc.

I assume you can't go wrong with Pampered Chef, but they're a little spendy. But, would rather have one that works well, than one that is too cheap.

Thanks!

Have you considered getting a manual blender for your specific needs? It won't pass the "carrot test" (more on that later) but it does a lovely job of pureeing and the model I purchased (a Vortex) has 2 speeds.

Credible job making breakfast shakes, and adult drinks. It works best with irregularly shaped ice from an old fashioned ice house block or ice tray; not so great w/ mechanically made round ice. I think the ice machine product is too uniform in size.

So far I've never found a slap it or crank version veggie chopper that could chop carrots or other hard vegetables into regular and consistent easy to cook shapes:(.
To get around that problem I purchased a mandoline.

HTH.
