Different vegetable cutters (Nayser Diser, Alligator, etc.)

Girls, we are of different ages here and the state of health is also different.
At 40 and even 55 years old, she managed with a knife and a large wooden board with knives for shredding cabbage. Four men in the house, cooked a lot, did everything in time.
And then one shoulder, then another, then the wrist begins to hurt. Already you pick up an easier knife, you can hardly chop a half of a head of cabbage, but barely hold a quarter in your hands.
Time flies inexorably and you begin to adapt.
Nayser Dyser Plus is my fourth year, I am very happy with it. It is a pity that raw onions do not cut 6x6, but boiled vegetables with a bang. But I still have to cut the circles with a knife, so I ordered an alligator slicer. Now it will be much easier and faster to cut vegetables and fruits.
Therefore, here everyone has their own truth.

[francevna]

francevna, and to add to this truth laziness and washing appliances, which directly oppresses me. Here is a beautiful electric moulinex cutter, my hair stands on end from the thought of washing it, pull it out, wash it, wipe it, collect it .. brrrrr, put it back in the closet. Although it cuts cubes, slices, and rubs perfectly. Even when you cook a lot, it's okay.
You can't do it for soup quickly, because you get a lot of body movements, even with your hands faster.
And he took out these graters with one hand, cut with the second, rinsed with the first. All.

Tell me who has an alligator slicer, do you have any cracks on it, otherwise you ordered it in a joint venture and found these cracks. So I don't know now to take or wait. There are these cracks in the whole party.

I don't have any cracks, and I haven't. But I didn't buy in the spa.

[Nyufab]

Nyufab, I bought a slicer in the joint venture, there is not even a hint of cracks (mmm)
For dinner, baked potatoes in the Princess, cut on a slicer, instantly cut.

I have cracks, but if Anya had not shown the photo, I would not even have paid attention to them.

So everyone here has their own truth

Absolutely right! For example, I do not share the general enthusiasm for the alligator. I may have weak wrists, but before I cut half the onion, I need to punch it with all my might several times with my fist! But with a berner, having made several parallel cuts on the bulb sitting on the fruit holder, I easily cut it into cubes, simply "stroking" it without any effort on the blade.

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, I checked with a magnifying glass, everything is fine. I was also scared at the beginning.

[Alla]

Alla, yes, I can clearly see it without a magnifier, at each of the 4 corners and one more on the side in the middle.

Tatyana, are these cracks big? And how do you think over time they will make themselves felt? Also now I think to pick it up or wait? And the wait is also unknown how much All the same, and the price for it is not 5 rubles. And so I wanted him.

[Ol]

Ol, these cracks are very thin, but if held with a fingernail, it touches, in length from 1 cm to 3 cm. I would take a picture, but it's hard to see on the phone, but from the camera .. I don't want to go to my computer. They are on the plastic insert, which contains the knives. There are no cracks on the base and lid. Therefore, I think you shouldn't worry too much, nothing should fall apart there. But .. how they really will behave further, nobody knows.
It is better to decide on your own, but in order not to think and not regret later, it is probably better to wait, especially since you already have such thoughts.

Tanya, thanks for the answer. Otherwise it is very difficult to imagine them, especially since you have never seen this slicer live

[dopleta]

dopleta, can you have dull knives on it ???
I, of course, make an effort to cut a large onion, but I don't fuck anything, well, you just push it harder and that's it. And the halves of medium-sized bulbs fly away by themselves with minimal effort.
And potatoes as well.
Although I recently bought some potatoes here, I hardly cut them with a knife, I had to take a cleaver
Moreover, half a pot is normal, and half is like concrete inside

dopleta, can you have dull knives on it ???

No, it was like that from the very beginning. No matter how you press from above, even a half of a small onion is cut only to the middle, then you have to pound. No. I still have a burner and electric vegetable cutters in my kitchen.

even half of a small onion is cut only to the middle, then you have to pound

, as if we are talking about different slicers, it cuts well, nothing needs to be pounded

Girls, and who washes the bars? There, in the corners, no brush takes! I'm already rubbing with a brush and a toothpick, but I still can't remove some traces in the corners. Already got stuck, one by one, pick out each corner with a toothpick
In the large 12x12 grate, it is probably easier and more convenient (I haven't looked at it yet), and at 6x6 I have been puffing for an hour with a brush and a toothpick, but I still can't clean it up. I already soaked it, and washed it under a strong stream - I can't even imagine how I will use it, even if I don't wash a new one in an hour

[Olga]

Olga, what kind of vegetable cutter are we talking about?
There have never been any problems with washing with Nyser Diser Plus, maybe because the container is underneath.

Alligator luxury

Alligator luxury

why did you cut that that you can't wash?

So far nothing, so it was

So far nothing, so it was

[Olga]

I can't even imagine how I will use it, even if I don't wash a new one in an hour

Olga, that I do not understand anything. The new grill must be clean everywhere (and in the corners too) And if you cannot wash the "new" grill in the corners, then it is not new and has already been used.
I have a Mulinex vegetable cutter. When I bought it, everything was clean in the corners.

Well, it's almost new. Not the same thing! And the fact that it is not necessary to admire it, but to use it. And then how to wash it? So who washes how, so that the corners even in a small grate are washed clean?
I did not have such problems in Kesh and in Nice. And in some different, including small cutters, everything was also immediately washed

so it was

And what is there in the corners?

some traces in the corners

Leftover food?

[Olga]

Olga, at Moulinex insert 6.8 in the corners barely a toothpick sticks through, but everything is washed very well. And I wash the grills with an Ikeevsky brush or a toothbrush. Try soaking the insert in a hot soda solution overnight. Maybe this will help.

It means that there are outdated food residues + an unwashed insert.

I am also an IKEA turla.
Okay, let's see how it goes next. In any case, I'm happy with the purchase, and then I'll adjust.
Thanks everyone for the comments

Maybe it's an oxidized metal?

No, Twig, the metal is normal. I've already cleaned everything up.

And again, I love my alligators. I made a vinaigrette, first on a slicer, then on a grid of 12. It turns out a little not cubes, but just the very thing, size 5 * 12. Then she soaked it in the sink, rinsed it out. No staining, all corners clean, took a minute. I was already touched once again.

Having read the topics, I ordered an Alligator as a gift for the New Year. What can I say, it certainly costs like an airplane. But he justifies his money one hundred percent. Fast, easy, convenient. All the New Year's salads were cooked in between times, imperceptibly. I saved a lot of time and effort. Now I also want their own slicer, I hope I can carve out a piece of the budget for it somehow.

I have a nice, something I do not use it practically. Sometimes I cut potatoes into soup.With one movement in it, only the blocks can be made the same. To make the cubes, it is necessary to pre-cut the plates - and if I have already cleaned and cut into plates, then it is easier to do a few more movements with a knife than to put it in the neiser one by one, clap and then wash it again
And does the alligator have the same design? Or are there some tricks for the cubes?

Not long ago I bought an alligator, I am very pleased, they cut a mountain onion, venegret finely 6x6 super cube it was so delicious, one to one was just super! Very satisfied.

[Serenity]

Serenity He's just very sharp (Alligator) and certainly not flimsy. I have metal, the feeling of a very solid device in my hands, it's not scary to break it. No tricks, too, you must first cut with plates and already punch the plates on the Alligator. I don’t know about you, but to cut a bunch of plates into small cubes, a few movements with a knife are definitely not enough.
Tested - potatoes for frying in thin cubes, carrots-onions-potatoes in soup (plates 0.5-2 cm and of which cubes are cubes on the Alligator), cubes from a heap of everything for salads. Everything turns out very quickly, I personally have much less fuss with cutting. I used the trick with boiling the already cut vegetable cubes, I really liked the result.
Onion! My eternal "tearful" problem - disappeared like a bad dream.
In general, I am very happy with my "Boeing". This is a good investment for me.

Oh yes. Today the second "New Year's gift" has finally arrived. Slicer Giant (and what, walk, walk)))). In general, I still did not really understand where to use such a thin cut, but the cucumber that was pochikanny for experience somehow ended very quickly, in the sense of rubbing .. It's good that no one distracted, otherwise you would also have to quickly rub your fingers where the thread along with the cucumber attach. Very sharp and very fast.

[Natalia]

Natalia, I see, thanks for the clarification!

until I really understood where to use such a thin cut,

If you sauer cabbage, you will quickly find the answer to this question.

[Olga VB]

Olga VB So I ordered it with cabbage, not to add salt, but for pies. Our family respects them very much, and no one is in a hurry to help cut as usual. There are no questions at all about it, everything is as it should and has already been tested in practice - for this I dearly love my plane right from the moment it appeared. But other vegetables with a plane are very thin and it is not very convenient to use in the same salad, for me. Well, we are not used to this)) But the idea came into my mind to use just such a cut for vegetable casseroles - that's where I imagine it, you just have to try what happens. When we eat up the New Year's supplies a little and unload the refrigerator))) In addition to the planer, there are a few more graters included - if the quality and convenience of cutting are the same, then generally super. In general, dreams sometimes come true))

If you sauer cabbage, you will quickly find the answer to this question.

I don't like cabbage grated by a giant for sourdough. Too thin.
But the fresh salad is super. Eaten in bowls :)

I don't like cabbage grated by a giant for sourdough.

And i don't like

For pies, I make squares so that nothing reaches for a bite, but when I put on the thinnest laces of sauerkraut with a fork, it's beauty!
Of course, everyone has their own, we are different, and that's great!

I used a shredded cabbage with a berner - the smallest cubes that ... people swear ... but they eat with gusto !!!

I rub the cabbage with a knife-shredder for pickling. When you get used to it, it turns out very quickly and the size is exactly what you need.

Girls! then 3mm is practically unnecessary?
in general, if plastic, then only 6mm and 12mm are needed, since 9mm does not exist

I will join the discussion.
The insert will come in handy!
Maybe I have a too new one yet (only today the courier brought it), but I LEFT the carrot!
I immediately started testing it on carrots, because before it was plastic - I had to suffer with carrots, I got stuck.
On metal I tried it on an insert 6 x 6 - I mastered it. I decided to try it at 3 x 3 (preparing for failure). But I did it !!!!!! Naturally, I put the carrots on the bottom, that is, along the fibers, as recommended.
She cut pieces about 3 cm long and put a carrot on the end. Carrots of this format (bars 3 mm wide and 3 cm long) are perfect for sauerkraut, salads and dietetic. soups.
And even with simpler products - the insert 3 x 3 will definitely cope. For example, radishes, champignons for julienne, potatoes for pancakes. And the bow, I think, will master.
So the insert comes in handy.
Here I also have a plastic mini from the past plastic aligators. So he takes nothing but garlic

My 20 euro French vegetable cutter broke on raw carrots. The plastic is cracked.
Take an alligator? Cuts raw vegetables without problems?

Girls, I'm sorry, but I just can't read 228 pages

Does anyone have this kind of vegetable-peeling / cutting?

In our bazaar they sell these and cut cabbage and so on with them. I need it for shredding cabbage.
If someone has one, tell me, please, how is it really in action? Should you buy it?

I don't use it for cabbage, but peels potatoes well, and planes carrots well with strips.
And my giant chops cabbage. This is what I like the most. This is in the presence of kitchens. Kenwood machines.

I bought one and threw it away. For potatoes, it is better to use a similar, but without cloves, smooth. Efforts are less than a hundred times. And normal peelers like these come with a blade that doesn't dull quickly and is much more comfortable in the hand.
I have tescoma, so this is heaven and earth with this stupid misunderstanding.

To cut carrots personally, I need uncommon patience and again, in my opinion, it's so horror-horror.
For such purposes, a good grater is better.
For cabbage, a normal cabbage grater with a slot is also better, or Giant, I admit it.

Therefore, for me, absolutely unnecessary stray, categorically.

Complete garbage. I once also fell for the market and bought. It is not convenient to cut cabbage with this, well, if only in small quantities. Potatoes are also not easy to peel. The only thing I cut with it into thin strips of zucchini for salad. I threw it out without regret.

Does anyone have this kind of vegetable-peeling / cutting?

Was similar, did not like it. In general, such double-sided devices are inconvenient, the hand does not grip the handle badly.

And for cabbage (thin cutting with threads, as for sauerkraut), the best thing is this shredding knife:


Having got used to it, the head of cabbage is "cut off" in a couple of minutes.

[shuska]

shuska Not very good for cabbage, but for everything else I like it. Carrots for 3-6 kg in the country are a pleasure to clean.

[shuska]

shuska, I also had one, I didn't like it at all, threw it out. I had a Tescoma too. Most of all I like this knife, for cleaning, not for cabbage. Berner is.
