Vegetable cutter and chopper HENDI 515501

A vegetable cutting grid slices and shreds root vegetables, tomatoes and firm produce without pre-peeling. The grid stands on the worktop; the operator presses the vegetable down with the palm and draws it across the blade in a single stroke. The blade's serrated edge seizes the surface, while the grid's open construction lets the cut pieces fall through immediately, preventing jams and uneven slices. Two blades are supplied: one for coarse chunks suitable for stocks and stews, the other for finer pieces used in salads and garnishes.

To use the grid, the operator selects the required blade and locks it into the frame. The vegetable is placed on the grid and pressed firmly with the flat of the hand, then drawn across the blade in a steady motion. The cut pieces collect in a container beneath the grid. The sequence is repeated until the vegetable is fully processed. No power or additional tools are needed; the grid relies on manual pressure and the sharpness of the blades.

The frame and blades are made of stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and its ability to retain an edge under repeated use. The grid is dishwasher-safe, allowing for thorough cleaning between services. The overall dimensions of 400 mm by 215 mm by 175 mm provide a stable footprint on the worktop, while the 140 mm diameter of the blades determines the maximum size of vegetable that can be processed in one pass.

The two blades supplied cover the most common cutting tasks in a professional kitchen: coarse chopping for long-cooking dishes and fine chopping for raw preparations. The grid is placed in the catalogue under vegetable preparation equipment, alongside peelers, mandolins and food processors.
