TYPES OF SLICES

Julienne Blades

The three

Julienne Blades that come with

the

Vegetable Slicer have the following

thicknesses – 3/16”, 5/16”, and 7/16”. The more

teeth on the

Blade, the THINNER the sticks of

vegetable/fruit will be. The less teeth on the

Blade, the THICKER the sticks of vegetable/

fruit will be .
Only use the

Julienne Blades with the Straight

Edge Slicing Blade. Do not use them with the

Waffle Blade.

• Cut the vegetables/fruit in

sections corresponding to the desired

length of the julienne strips (approximately 3”-6” (7.6 - 15.2 cm) long).

• Place the vegetable/fruit lengthwise onto the

Food Pusher Spikes.

Smooth Blade

This is the

Vegetable Slicer’s main Blade and features a straight edge for

basic slicing.
The straight edge of the

Smooth Blade is ideal for slicing a variety of foods from

carrots and cabbage to lemons and potatoes.

• For straight cuts, place the vegetable/fruit either endwise or

lengthwise onto the

Food Pusher Spikes.

Waffle Blade

The

Waffle Blade creates crinkle and waffle cuts, and is easy to use with any

fruit/vegetable. A crinkle cut requires only one pass over the

Blade.

Waffle Cuts: For a waffle cut, the key is to adjust the height of the Depth

Adjustment Plate so that the slices are only slightly thicker than the serrated

edge of the

Blade.

• Once you adjust the thickness of the

Depth Adjustment Plate, place

the food onto the

Food Pusher Spikes and make a pass over the

Blade.

• Next, rotate the vegetable/fruit 90

and make a second pass

over the

Blade to complete the cut. This rotation will create an

opposing crinkle cut on each side of the vegetable/fruit.
