French Fry Cutter and Easy Food Dicer with 2 Interchangeable Blades | Great for Slicing & Dicing Vegetables Potato Onions Carrots Cucumbers Fruits Apples and More

Some of the reviews almost caused me not to buy it, but then finally decided to give it a try, because the idea looked intriguing, where you just pump a lever to spit out some fries, and it worked much better than I expected.It does take a little pressure, but not as much as with other french fry cutters I've used, where you have to press the lever down in one press with great force, sometimes having to slam it down, where I've broken the cutter and/or the blades in the past. The trick is to first cut off a piece at each end, making sure the lines are straight with one another. This makes it easier to cut the potato without it trying to curve or move out of alignment with the blades because of the rounded edges of a potato.Then just pump the lever, one press at a time, not too quick, and with just enough pressure to push the potato through the blades. For me, it was incredibly easy. I used the 25-hole blade because I prefer larger fries. And as noted in the description, and other people's reviews, don't cut sweet potatoes without microwaving them for a minute or two first to soften them.If interested, here's how I make my french fries. I place aluminum foil in a 9x9 inch pan, enough to fold over the potatoes, spray it with Pam Canola Oil to prevent sticking, place the potatoes in the pan, add a little butter, sprinkle with salt, lemon pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic powder, then fold the aluminum foil over the potatoes from each side to cover them, then bake at 475 degrees for 70 minutes. Pull them out halfway through, about 35 minutes, and shake/mix the fries around a bit, then put them back in for the remaining 35 minutes. Then turn off the oven, but leave the potatoes in the oven as it cools down for another 20 minutes, so they continue to soften throughout.Then add salt, garlic powder and lemon pepper to some ketchup (I put/mix this in a plastic storage container), then dip and enjoy! Much healthier than deep fried potatoes, and taste much better than air fry, imho.

I just got a cutter and used it only once. My hands are not very strong and I tried to buy different cutter a while ago, and I had to return it, I couldn't push potato through. This one helps you to do this by going from slat to slat.I am not huge fan of fries and I bought cutter for different reason; I make a salad which requires a lot of cooked root vegetables to be cut in small cubes, and it is pain in a neck to do. Because this cutter allow you to cut cubes (you do have to use knife in addition to cutter), I decided give it a try.I wasn't ready to make my salad, so I made fries in turbo oven (I don't have air fryer).Cutting result exceeded my expectations.I know that people complain that they can't cut sweet potatoes, but there is piece of paper included in a box, saying that you can't use it for sweet potatoes.It is not a problem for me, I don't like sweet potatoes, but if you want to use one, I would microwave it for couple minutes to soften it a little bit.

No issues cutting Russet\Idaho Potatoes. Has a flyer that states No Sweet Potatoes! So if you're looking something for Sweet potato\Yams, look elsewhere. Read on other reviews you can soften Sweet Potatoes by microwaving them first, but not my thing. On cleaning the blades, the outer blade rings looks to hold water. That could be a problem if not shaken empty. Love the ratcheting system!

I bought this for my Mom to cut potatos for her dogs homemade food. She is 79 and not strong, and has tremors so using a knife and cutting board was very difficult for her. This makes it much easier and safer. The ratchet propelled pusher advances the heavy, dense potato through the surprisingly sharp and stout cutting blade grid with a push down on the large handle. The ratcheting system allows a small person without much strength the leverage to push such a heavy, dense potato thru the blade grid with realitive ease. It does not slide around when operating. Very well thought out knife guide so the knife blade will not move side to side when the blade is in the guide, which is great for elderly people, or anyone with tremors and shakes.Overall, a great, easy-to-use, quality product that does what it promises.

I was quite excited when I discovered this item. As I frequently make many kinds of soups, this seem to be just what I had been looking for.First time I used it, I found it quite ingenuously made and reasonably easy to use, however, my thinking did not last long.Having obtained some beautiful diced peaces, from my first peeled potato, I to my disillusion observed the second potato exiting the gadgets with all the knives stuck in the middle of the vegetable, as they had broken loose from the frame.Having a no-fix situation, I was left with one choice, make this food fixer part of my weekly thrash collection.

Tried to use this to cut some kielbasa sausage into cubes. I lightly froze the meat to make it a bit stiffer. It worked somewhat, but made a huge mess and took way too long to clean everything. Also, the last bit never made it through the cutter, so I had to peel it off the blades and tear it apart by hand.What I learned:-- Not good for soft foods-- Not good for meat-- Pain to clean and clean up-- Works somewhat, but not optimallyMost of it was plastic construction, and at times I was concerned I might break something. Not heavy-duty, but probably sturdy enough for vegetables and fruit. I expect it would work well for firmer things, like apples and onions.

Purchased one of these to process fresh potatoes from the garden. You must press down pretty hard to advance a large fresh potato through the cutting blades, but the cutter is sturdy enough to handle it. I use a knife to slice the potatoes off to form evenly diced potato cubes before par boiling them and vacuum sealing them. It takes considerable time to process 5 lbs. of fresh potatoes with this cutter but the results are far superior to any other method I have tried.
