Product Description
The Tellier potato chipper is a manual bench-mounted chipping tool designed for commercial food preparation. Built around a weighted cast iron base, it provides the stability needed to drive whole potatoes cleanly through the cutting die in a single, controlled stroke. The integrated chute channels chipped product directly into a container beneath, keeping the prep area tidy and the process efficient.
In a busy kitchen environment, consistency of cut matters — both for cooking times and for presentation. This chipper delivers a uniform chip with each pass, reducing the variation you get from hand-cutting and keeping portion sizes predictable across a service. The cast iron construction handles repeated daily use without the flex or movement you might experience with lighter-framed alternatives.
Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:
- Stable, weighted base prevents movement during operation
- Built-in chute directs cut product cleanly into prep containers
- Simple single-action mechanism — quick to operate and easy to train staff on
- Compact footprint suitable for standard worktop or table-top use
- Cast iron frame withstands heavy daily prep volumes
There are no electrical or gas requirements — this is a fully manual tool, which makes placement flexible and eliminates any installation complexity. The chipper is supplied with a 10mm cutting die, which produces a standard chip size suited to most operations. Cleaning is straightforward, though cast iron components should be dried promptly after washing to prevent surface oxidation.
This chipper is well suited to smaller catering operations, pub kitchens, cafés, and any site producing chips as a regular menu item without the volume that would justify a powered chipping machine. For higher-throughput operations processing large quantities continuously during service, a heavier-duty or electric model would be worth considering.
If you are unsure whether this suits your prep volumes or want guidance on cutting die options, the team is happy to help you work through the right choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Tellier chipper is well suited to regular prep work in smaller to mid-sized operations, but it is a manual tool operated stroke by stroke. For kitchens producing very high volumes of chips continuously, a powered chipping machine would handle the throughput more comfortably — this model is best used during dedicated prep periods rather than live service chipping.
- The chipper is supplied with a 10mm die as standard. Whether additional die sizes are available as accessories depends on the Tellier range compatibility — we'd recommend contacting us to confirm which options are suitable for this specific model before ordering separately.
- Cast iron can develop surface rust if left wet after cleaning. After washing, dry all cast iron parts promptly and thoroughly. A light application of food-safe oil to exposed cast iron surfaces will help protect against oxidation if the chipper is stored in a humid kitchen environment.
