Which thickness should you choose?

The 8 mm gives a "thin" bistro- or brasserie-style chip — it cuts faster and takes on more flavour. The 10 mm is the standard commercial chip cut, the ideal balance between quantity and texture. The 12 mm gives a "thick" steakhouse- or gourmet-style chip, with a tender inside and a crisp outside.

If you need more than one thickness, you can buy the CF-5 set with an additional pusher-grid as a spare.

Frequently asked questions

Does it need mains electricity?
No. It is a 100% manual cutter, operated by a lever with a return spring.

Does it work with products other than potatoes?
It is optimised for potatoes, but it also works with vegetables of a similar firmness (courgette, thick carrot). It is not efficient with soft products.

Are the containers interchangeable with other GN in the catalogue?
Yes, they are standard Gastronorm 1/3 containers, interchangeable with any other GN 1/3 in the catalogue. Containers not included, purchased separately.

Do all three blades come with each model, or does the blade change by model?
Each product code (1020060/1020061/1020062) comes with just ONE blade of the stated thickness. If you need more thicknesses, you can order a spare pusher-grid from the Sammic catalogue.
