Product Review: The Best French Fry Cutters
A french fry cutter is designed to produce uniform, easily-served french fries, typically from potatoes, but can also be used to slice other vegetables, such as sweet potatoes and zucchini. Commercial fry cutters are designed to withstand the heavy demands of a commercial or home kitchen, where large quantity of fries are prepared regularly. Manual french fry cutters allow you to cut potatoes into straight fries, wedge fries, or specialty cut fries with the use of a manual lever or handle. Basic french fry cutters usually come with a couple of different blades so you can choose your fry thickness.
While all potatoes work well will fry cutters, the starchiest potato will make the best french fries, because their high starch content will prevent the fries from becoming soggy. Idaho potatoes, also known as russet potatoes, have the highest starch and lowest moisture content. When selecting a potato to cut and fry, ensure that the flesh is firm and dense, as that will produce a thick, crispy fry.
We selected our 4 best manual french fry cutters that will allow you to cut potatoes into various shapes and sizes. Manual french fry cutters are less expensive than automatic fry cutters, making them a great option for restaurants, food trucks, cafes or home.
