Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kitchen Aid Multi Slicer, WhiteCustomer Review: Look elsewhere if you plan to make fries Summary: 1 Stars
I found the following issues which put this purchase into the local landfill:
1.) Once you get a successful potatoe to cut through, the ends of the fries are stuck in the thick grids. Getting them out is a real pain, you need a lot of careful tugging and wiggling to remove them without breaking them. Just a mess.
2.) If you are slightly off 90 degrees when you start pushing through the potatoe, you are in a very dangerous zone. Think of a lot of force applied to sharp blades that is going in the wrong direction.
3.) Maybe my set was off tolerance, but the blade would not stay in the housing by itself. I had to hold the blade in the housing and push it on the potatoe simulateously. Not a big deal, but that for me sealed the 1-star rating.
I guess the bottom line is, if you expect nothing out of it, you might use it, or if you are slicing something softer than potatoes. For me, I've decided to get one of those Vollcraft units. It's on order.
Description of Kitchen Aid Multi Slicer, WhiteNow you can have matchstick julienne carrots or cheese, a sectioned and cored apple, or a pile of neatly cut French fries in no time at all. This multi slicer features oversized non-slip handles and three slicer inserts. All you do is load the insert of choice and snap it securely to the bottom of the slicer housing, place food on a cutting board, and apply downward pressure to the handles of the slicer to push it through the food. This slicing gadget is a supplement to a food processor, performing slicing jobs that most food processors can?t do well with disc inserts. The tool comes with three different square stainless-steel inserts that snap into the two-handed slicer. Aligning the slicer over food and then pushing down by hand cuts the food into the desired shape.The pie-shaped insert is ideal for coring apples or pears, while the two grid-shaped inserts cut potatoes for French fries or dices other cooked vegetables in either thick or thin widths. The ergonomic handles have comfortable Santoprene grips that keep the slicer from slipping out of your hands. Inserts are all dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. --Cristina Vaamonde
