Cutting & Preparation

Prepare fruit and vegetables faster, without cutting yourself

Peeling, slicing, grating and squeezing take up most of the time spent cooking. The right tools cut that time, give even pieces that cook uniformly and reduce the risk of cuts. Our range covers four families:

• Fruit & Vegetable Cutting: adjustable mandoline, spiralizers, graters, peelers and fry cutters.
• Slicers & Cutters: egg slicers, apple slicer, avocado tool, kiwi peeler.
• Garlic, Herbs & Spices: stainless steel garlic presses, manual and electric mini choppers.
• Juicers & Presses: lever, pulp-separator and stainless steel citrus presses.

How to choose

For everyday use, go for stainless steel blades, which do not rust and stay sharp, dishwasher-safe parts that come apart, and finger protection: a cut-resistant glove, hand guard or pusher. If your hands lack strength, lever or electric models need far less effort.

Frequently asked questions

Mandoline or spiralizer: which should I choose?

A mandoline cuts even slices, from 0.5 to 9 mm on our adjustable model, perfect for gratins and crisps. A spiralizer turns courgettes and carrots into vegetable spaghetti. The two complement each other.

Which tools suit weak or painful hands?

The finger peeler, the rechargeable electric chopper and the lever citrus presses need very little strength: handy for older people or anyone with arthritis.

Are the tools dishwasher safe?

Most of them, yes: it is shown in the specifications table of each product. Bamboo boards and aluminium parts are best washed by hand.
