Nemco NEL0001 - Easy Lettuce Cutter, 9mm Slices or 12mm and 19mm Squares

Nemco NEL0001 - Easy Lettuce Cutter, 9mm Slices or 12mm and 19mm Squares

Knife-cut lettuce bruises and turns brown at the edges. The Nemco Easy Lettuce Cutter gives a clean cut that ICE says prevents edge browning, with no crushing or bruising, so salads and burgers look fresher for longer. Choose the NEL0001 for 9mm (3/8 inch) slices, the NEL0002 for 12mm squares or the NEL0003 for 19mm squares. Unlike the smaller Easy Chopper II, it is made specifically for cutting lettuce.

• Three cut options: 9mm slices, 12mm x 12mm squares or 19mm x 19mm squares

Good to know before you buy:

• Choosing the cut: each version cuts one size only. Slices suit shredded-style lettuce, while 12mm or 19mm squares suit chopped salads.
• Bench space: allow a 325 x 450 mm footprint and 500mm of height on your prep bench.
• No power needed: it is a manual cutter, so there is nothing to plug in.
