Maybe the even cuts make them look more appetizing but no one blinked when these were substituted for the frozen, fat and preservative laden version. I bought this because my family is eating less processed foods - using this for oven fries and it's great. Nice sturdy and worked smoothily.
I looked far and wide for just the right ff cutter.I found it on Amazon and bought it.I am so satisfied with it.
The unit does not come with a shoestring cutter. Perhaps for the price perhaps the rig isn't all bad, but in terms of function, it is.Firstly, while the unit appears to have a long bed, the actual stroke is all of four inches, meaning you have to cut a typical potato in half, and are stuck with midget fries. The unit feels unstable, giving the user the sensation that if any of the substantial force required to slice is not precisely applied, the unit will kick out from under them and fly across the room.My advice: spend a little more money and get something that works.
Clean up is easy, as the blades and pushing blocks detach very easily.We're looking into a commercial grade machine now. You will need to cut the potato, so you can cut the potato. A regular size Idaho potato will not fit. My wife was unable to operate it.We cleaned it up and she returned it today. We purchased one of these at the local kitchen store.We were very excited to be able to cut restauarant style fries at home. However, this machine was a total letdown. It makes no sense to me.Anyway, the blades are very dull and would not cut through the spud very easily.I thought the thing was going to break since it is 90% plastic.
What If I want fries or veggies longer than 4". Plus there are these little plastic halfmoon rail guides that leave 1.5" of empty space behind the pusher plate just unused.
This is a horrible product that could have easily been a 5 star if they had made it 3" larger (that's including the 1.5" of wasted space it already has). yay.
If I cut my potatoes in half I get 2-3" fries. If I just cut them to fit the slicer I end up with.5-2" fry stubs left over on the counter.
It works fine and comes with 2 blades but why in the living h3ll would you make it 4" capacity. Why would you limit your customers to such a finite capacity.
color me unimpressed.
