FAQ
What’s the difference between a vegetable cutter and a food processor?
Vegetable cutters focus on bulk slicing/dicing with discs. Food processors are more general-purpose, suited to mixed prep tasks.
Do I need a peeler or just a cutter?
Use a cutter for slicing/dicing. If you prep large volumes of potatoes or root veg, a peeler saves hours of labour.
What about salad dryers?
Salad dryers remove water from lettuce and herbs—essential for buffets, catering lines, and fresh salad prep.
What’s the starting price?
From $140+GST, depending on type, capacity and brand.
