Befano French Fry Cutter, Stainless Steel Potato Cutter with 1/2 Inch and 3/8 Inch Blades, (Manual Cutter, 1/2'' & 3/8'' Blade)

This is solidly (stainless steel) built french fry maker which arrived quickly and works absolutely great. It comes with three different sized blades which can be easily switched out in a safe & foolproof manner. Quality throughout, I was able to cut 5lbs of Russet potatoes into 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch fries in less than 10 minutes and clean-up was very simple. The most surprising benefitis how well the suction feet adhere to any surface, totally eliminating slippage or shifting when cutting. The long cutter arm provides great leverage for those bigger, Idaho potatoes. The cutting chamber appears big enough to accommodate potatoes up to 6 inches long and 4 inches wide. A great alternative to fast food fries, which nowcost over $3.00 per six ounce serving, I can now make 5 pounds of fries, (freeze unused portions in freezer bags) for the same $3.00.

For those who wonder what the extra part is for, it replaces one of the thumbscrews that holds the blade to be used as a handle. It is optional.Assembly is easy, literally just two screws and locknuts. Extra locknuts and tools for assembly are included.You will need to use a little food grade grease or oil (I just used peanut oil) on the shafts to lubricate the slide or it will be difficult to use.

The Game Changer: 5/5This Befano French Fry Cutter has been a game-changer in my kitchen. The tedious task of chopping potatoes by hand has been replaced with the pull of a lever—easy, quick, and efficient. The stainless-steel blades glide through even the toughest spuds, making prep time a breeze.Versatility Gets A Plus: 4.5/5What's really impressed me about this cutter is its adaptability. The interchangeable blades offer options for different fry thicknesses—great for tailoring snacks to different occasions. I’ve also expanded my culinary horizons by using it for slicing vegetables like zucchinis and sweet potatoes. Compared to another brand I've used in the past, this cutter is far more versatile.Perfect Companion to My Air Fryer: 4.5/5Having recently invested in an air fryer, this cutter has become an indispensable companion. It creates fries that are just the right size to cook evenly, providing that restaurant-like crispy texture.The Durability Test: 4.5/5I’ve owned this cutter for a few months now, and it’s stood up to frequent use exceptionally well. The blades are as sharp as day one, and the suction cups remain effective, providing stable operation.Simple, But Could Be Simpler: 4/5The cutter fits comfortably in my kitchen cabinet and the disassembling process makes cleaning less of a chore. However, it would be nice if it were dishwasher-safe for those hectic days.Safety First: 3.5/5While the cutter feels stable during use, I think the blade-locking mechanism could be more secure. A more robust safety feature would add an extra layer of confidence during use.Room for TweaksWhile this tool has upped my kitchen game, there are areas for improvement. The blade-locking system, for instance, could use a safety upgrade. A more foolproof lock would make this nearly perfect. It would also be a boon for the manufacturer to make this product dishwasher-compatible for an even easier cleanup.Overall: 4.5/5All in all, the Befano French Fry Cutter has proven itself to be an invaluable addition to my kitchen setup. While it could use minor improvements, its benefits far outweigh its shortcomings, making it worth the investment for any home cook looking to save time and effort.

I was looking for a french fry cutter for some time. I looked into just about every one on amazon..from $130 range to $25...reading tons of reviews. The cheaper versions reviews made me wary..you get what you pay for...so I decided to take a chance on this one for $59...most of the reviews were positive. First off it came the very same day I ordered it and I immediately put it to work. Assembly was very easy..it came with a little instruction page. The product also came in a box(I read where someone recieved theirs in wrapping). The suctions for the legs are incredibly strong..I have granite tops so it stuck really well to it.The suctions have a little tab on them to pull to undo the suction cups. The blades are very very sharp so handle with care. This machine is able to take large potatoes and the larger cut size blade slices through them like butter. For the skinnier fries..use a smaller golden potato...they cut easier..the larger potatos are more difficult and need a bit of effort. .. Needless to say..the fries came out great...made quite a few large batches for my kids and made cheese bacon fries which they loved. Overall you can't go wrong for the price..it's a very strong and sturdy machine...easy to clean and store..it's not too big nor to small..I put it back in the box it came in assembled ...just the handle sticks out and into the cabinet it goes until it's next use. There are no cheap parts on it that will easily break like I've read based on reviews of other cutters. If you want a french fry cutter thats just the right size...easy to assemble and clean..and does'nt take up much space that cuts fries nice and easy...this is the one.
