Fruit and Vegetable Slicers

The Louis Tellier KALI is a manually operated apple peeler and slicer designed for professional kitchen prep. Built from stainless steel, it cores, peels, and slices whole apples in a single pass using a hand-cranked mechanism — no electricity required. It is a straightforward, dependable piece of smallware that earns its place on a prep bench during high-volume fruit preparation.

In a busy kitchen, this kind of equipment justifies itself quickly. Rather than relying on knife work or a member of the team spending extended time on repetitive prep, the KALI allows a single operator to process apples consistently and quickly, reducing fatigue and improving output during service build-up. It handles the sort of throughput that pastry sections, dessert menus, or event catering commonly demand.

Practical advantages for kitchen operators include:

• Consistent peel and slice result with each pass — reduces waste and portion variation
• No power source required — can be used anywhere on the prep bench
• Stainless steel construction supports hygiene and long service life
• Compact footprint takes up minimal bench or storage space
• Simple mechanical design means fewer failure points and straightforward cleaning

Installation requirements are minimal. The unit is bench-mounted and at 1.5kg is easy to reposition or store. There are no electrical, water, or gas connections to consider. The suction-cup or clamp base keeps it stable during use, and cleaning is straightforward given the stainless steel build.

This model is well suited to kitchens with a regular but moderate demand for prepared apples — patisseries, pub kitchens running dessert menus, hotel banqueting, and school catering operations are all typical users. For very high-volume continuous production, a motorised or higher-capacity unit may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this model suits your prep volumes or workflow, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Louis Tellier vegetable spiralizer and slicer is a hand-operated bench tool designed to produce decorative and functional cuts from a wide range of fruits and vegetables. It comes supplied with three interchangeable cutting blades, allowing operators to produce tagliatelle ribbons, spaghetti-style spirals, and julienne strips from firm-fleshed produce including carrots, courgettes, celery, onions, cabbage, and apples. The stainless steel construction keeps the unit hygienic and straightforward to clean between preparations.

In a working kitchen environment, this type of tool earns its place in prep sections where speed and consistency of presentation matter — particularly for garnishes, raw salads, and dishes where vegetable texture is part of the concept. Being hand-operated, it requires no power source and can be set up and cleared away quickly, which suits kitchens where counter space is at a premium or where the task is periodic rather than continuous.

Key practical advantages include:

• Three blades covering the most commonly requested decorative cuts
• Stainless steel build supports commercial hygiene standards
• Compact footprint — easy to store when not in use
• No power required — simple to deploy at any prep station
• Quick blade changeover for varied prep without tool changes

Being a manual unit, throughput is naturally limited by operator speed and effort. For kitchens producing spiralised vegetables at volume or in continuous high quantities, a motorised equivalent would be worth considering. This tool is well suited to à la carte environments, smaller prep teams, or operations where spiralised vegetables feature regularly but not at industrial scale.

If you are unsure whether this size and format suits your prep volume or workflow, we are happy to talk it through before you commit to a purchase.

The Prince Castle Tomato Saber 943-B is a manual bench-top tomato slicer designed for consistent, clean slicing in commercial catering environments. It uses a blade cartridge system to produce uniform 6.4mm slices in a single, controlled push — reducing the mess and inconsistency that comes with hand-cutting on a busy service line.

In a working kitchen, speed and consistency at the prep stage directly affect service quality. The Tomato Saber handles repetitive slicing efficiently without requiring skilled knife work, which makes it a practical addition to any kitchen where tomatoes are prepared in volume — whether for sandwiches, burgers, salads, or plated dishes. The aluminium construction keeps the unit lightweight at 3.9kg, so it can be moved or stored easily without taking up a permanent worktop position.

A few practical benefits worth noting:

• The Perma-Tight blade cartridge is factory pre-tensioned — no on-site blade adjustment required
• No power connection needed, so placement is not restricted by socket availability
• Consistent 6.4mm slice thickness reduces waste and improves portion control
• Simple cartridge design keeps cleaning and maintenance straightforward
• Lightweight aluminium build makes it easy to move between prep stations

Because this is a purely manual unit, there are no electrical requirements and no motor components to service. It is worth noting that the unit carries a light-duty commercial warranty, which reflects its intended use — high-frequency, all-day production environments may benefit from a heavier-duty alternative. For sites where tomato throughput is moderate and consistent downtime is a concern, this is worth discussing before purchase.

The Tomato Saber 943-B is well suited to cafés, sandwich bars, burger operations, and similar settings where tomatoes are prepared regularly but not necessarily in industrial volumes. For kitchens with significantly higher throughput demands, a more robust or motorised slicer may be the better fit.

The Chiba Peel S is a hand-operated vegetable slicer built around the traditional Japanese katsuramuki technique — a method of rotating a vegetable against a blade to produce long, continuous paper-thin sheets. The rotating handle drives the blade in a controlled side-to-side motion, shaving off a consistent ribbon of vegetable with each pass. The result is a smooth, translucent sheet rather than the uneven strips produced by a conventional mandoline or knife.

In a working kitchen, this kind of precision is most useful in contexts where presentation carries real weight — Japanese restaurants, fine dining, sushi preparation, and contemporary small-plate kitchens where garnish work and vegetable decoration are part of the dish. It performs particularly well on firm vegetables such as daikon radish, cucumber, courgette, and carrot, where the density of the flesh allows the blade to glide cleanly rather than tearing.

The practical advantages of the Peel S are straightforward:

• Produces consistently thin sheets that are difficult to achieve freehand
• Stainless steel construction is durable and straightforward to clean
• Compact enough to store easily in a prep area without taking up bench space
• Reduces the skill barrier for decorative vegetable work during prep
• Suited to both sheet production and cutting thin strips from the resulting sheet

This is a hand tool rather than a machine, so throughput depends entirely on the operator. For kitchens needing to produce large volumes of vegetable sheets quickly, it is worth considering whether a powered alternative would better suit the service demand. The Peel S is best understood as a precision prep tool rather than a high-volume processing piece.

It is well suited to Japanese restaurants, specialist cuisine kitchens, and any operation where katsuramuki or decorative vegetable presentation is a regular part of the menu. If you are unsure whether this tool fits your prep workflow, we are happy to talk it through.

The Chiba Tsumataro is a traditional Japanese-style hand slicer used primarily for producing very fine, uniform cuts from firm vegetables such as daikon radish, carrot, and cucumber. The curved stainless steel blade is designed to follow a specific pulling or drawing motion that gives the operator control over slice thickness and consistency — a technique well established in Japanese and Asian cuisine preparation.

In a working kitchen environment, the Tsumataro earns its place in garnish preparation, plating detail, and high-volume vegetable prep where presentation standards are exacting. It handles firm, dense produce reliably and produces results that a standard mandoline or box grater simply cannot replicate — particularly the fine, thread-like cuts associated with tsuma (Japanese garnish) work.

Practical benefits for kitchen operators include:

• Consistent, ultra-thin slices with minimal wastage from firm root vegetables
• Lightweight and compact — easy to store and clean between uses
• Stainless steel blade construction suited to regular commercial use
• No electrical supply or setup required — ready to use immediately
• Supports faster garnish prep without relying on larger cutting equipment

As a hand tool, the Tsumataro requires no installation — it is ready to use from the outset. It is not designed for bulk slicing of softer produce, and operators new to Japanese-style slicing technique may need a brief period of familiarisation to achieve consistent results. It is a specialist tool rather than a general-purpose slicer.

This slicer is best suited to Japanese, pan-Asian, or contemporary restaurants where garnish presentation and vegetable detail are part of the daily workflow. It is also commonly found in hotel kitchen brigades and high-volume prep teams where speed and consistency on fine cuts matter. If your requirements lean toward bulk slicing across a wider range of produce, a powered mandoline or adjustable slicer may be a more practical fit.

If you are unsure whether this tool suits your particular prep style or menu requirements, our team is happy to talk it through before you order.

The Chiba Sin Tsuma Mini Peel S is a compact Japanese-style vegetable peeler produced by Chiba, a manufacturer with a long-standing reputation for blade quality in professional kitchen environments. It is designed for fine peeling and garnish work — tasks where blade sharpness and control matter more than speed or volume.

In practice, this peeler earns its place in kitchens where precision prep is part of daily service. The stainless steel blade holds a clean edge well, allowing chefs to peel thin, consistent strips from firm vegetables and fruits without tearing or excessive waste. The slight blade angle gives a smoother, more controlled draw, which is particularly useful when working with irregular or curved produce.

For kitchen teams doing volume prep, the key practical advantages are:

• Clean, low-waste peeling reduces product loss during prep
• Stainless steel construction is straightforward to clean and maintain
• Compact size suits tight prep bench environments
• Consistent blade angle reduces hand fatigue during extended use
• Suitable for a broad range of fruit and vegetable types

This is a hand tool with no installation requirements. It is worth noting that it is a manual peeler suited to individual prep tasks rather than high-volume continuous peeling — kitchens processing very large quantities of root vegetables may want to consider a mechanical peeling solution alongside it.

The Mini Peel S is a practical choice for restaurant, hotel, and catering kitchens where chef skill and blade quality matter in the garnish and fine prep stage. It is less suited to bulk peeling operations where throughput is the primary concern.

The De Buyer Professional Tomato Slicer is a countertop prep tool designed to produce consistent, uniform tomato slices in a single action. Using a set of serrated blades, it cuts ten slices simultaneously at a fixed 5.5mm thickness — a practical solution for kitchens where speed and consistency through prep are both important.

In a busy service environment, inconsistent knife work on tomatoes causes real problems: uneven garnishes, excess juice loss, and slower prep throughput. This slicer addresses all three. The serrated blades are configured specifically for tomatoes, which means cleaner cuts with less crushing and noticeably less juice released compared with a standard straight blade. For operations turning out high volumes of salads, sandwiches, burgers, or pizza toppings, that consistency has a tangible effect on presentation and waste.

From a practical standpoint, the unit is built in stainless steel throughout, which keeps cleaning straightforward and holds up well to daily kitchen use. A few points worth noting before purchase:

• Suction feet fix the unit firmly to the work surface — important for safe single-handed operation
• Blades are replaceable when worn, avoiding the need to replace the whole unit
• Stainless steel construction throughout supports standard commercial cleaning routines
• Fixed 5.5mm slice thickness — not adjustable, so confirm this suits your intended use
• Weighing 5.5kg, it is stable on the counter without being awkward to move for cleaning

This slicer is well suited to sandwich bars, cafés, burger kitchens, salad operations, and any prep environment where tomato volume is high enough to justify a dedicated tool. It is a single-purpose piece of kit — it does one job and does it reliably, but it is not the right choice if variable slice thickness is a regular requirement. For very high-volume operations running continuous prep shifts, a heavier-duty motorised alternative may be worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this suits your prep workflow or want to talk through options for your kitchen, our team is happy to help you work it out before you order.

255(L)mm Polypropylene pineapple slicer which cores, peels and slices in a single operation.

8 Wedge slicer Professional lime wedger with stainless steel blades. For a quick and effective equal portioning.

This is the 5mm blade block for the Matfer Bourgeat Prep Chef Manual Food Chopper slicer attachment. It is a dedicated replacement or additional block designed to produce uniform 5mm tomato slices, and it fits directly into the Prep Chef system without modification or adjustment.

In a busy prep kitchen, consistent slice thickness matters more than it might seem. A 5mm cut is a practical, general-purpose thickness — substantial enough to hold together on a plate or in a sandwich, fine enough not to overwhelm lighter dishes. Because this block is purpose-made for the Matfer Prep Chef system, it locates securely and produces repeatable results throughout a prep session. The composite and stainless steel construction keeps the block light enough for extended use whilst maintaining the rigidity needed for clean, even cuts. It also holds up well through regular washing cycles without deteriorating.

• Produces consistent 5mm slices, supporting portion control and presentation
• Slots directly into the Matfer Prep Chef slicer attachment with no adjustment
• Composite and stainless steel construction resists corrosion through daily washing
• Lightweight build reduces operator fatigue during extended prep sessions
• Quick to swap out when changing slice thickness between menu items

This is a system-specific component, not a standalone slicer. It is only compatible with the Matfer Bourgeat Prep Chef Manual Food Chopper. If you are setting up the system for the first time or are uncertain which chopper model you have, it is worth confirming compatibility before ordering. The team are happy to point you in the right direction.

Spare blade for DC714 Effortlessly produce perfectly sliced tomatoes with this spare blade for the Vogue Tomato Slicer (DC714). The ultra sharp stainless steel blade cuts 5mm slices with ease and drastically reduces your prep time, freeing up time for other kitchen tasks. Incredibly durable, robust and hardwearing, the blade also lasts you longer and saves you money on replacements. The perfect solution for when your blade begins to dull after use over time, this replacement keeps your tomato slicer performing effectively.

The Vogue tomato slicer is a hand-operated prep tool that cuts a whole tomato into uniform slices in a single downward press. Built from stainless steel throughout, it is a straightforward bench-top utensil designed to take repetitive knife work out of high-frequency prep tasks.

In a working kitchen, consistency matters as much as speed. Hand-cutting tomatoes introduces variability in slice thickness, which affects both portion control and presentation — particularly noticeable across a salad bar, burger line, or sandwich counter where dozens of covers may require the same garnish. This slicer removes that variability, producing the same result each time regardless of who is on prep that shift.

The day-to-day advantages are practical rather than technical:

• Uniform slices produced in one motion, reducing prep time during busy periods
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and handles regular dishwasher cycles
• Ergonomic handle keeps hands clear of the blade throughout the cut
• No moving parts or assembly — ready to use straight from the wash
• Works on any standard prep surface with no fixings or dedicated space required

There are no installation requirements. This is a purely manual bench tool — no power, no water connection, no ventilation. It suits any prep area and cleans down quickly by hand or through a commercial dishwasher.

This slicer is well suited to café kitchens, pub catering, sandwich preparation, and similar operations where tomatoes are prepped in moderate volumes as part of a broader prep routine. For sites processing very high volumes continuously, a mechanical slicing solution may be worth considering alongside a tool of this type.
