This is a manual potato chips cutter with a vertical lever press that pushes a whole potato through a stainless steel blade grid, turning it into even, ready-to-fry chips in a single downward stroke. The long handle gives strong leverage, so even large potatoes cut cleanly without the strain of a knife, and the four splayed legs with rubber feet keep the machine steady on the counter. Every chip comes out the same thickness, which means they fry evenly and look professional on the plate. It also slices other firm fruit and vegetables such as cucumber, carrot and sweet potato into sticks. In Kenya, where chips are a daily favourite, it is a real time-saver for large families, schools, chips kiosks, hotels and caterers that peel and cut sacks of potatoes every day.

Buying guide
Peel and wash potatoes first, then trim any very large ones so they sit flat on the blade grid. Stand the cutter over a bowl or tray to catch the chips and press the lever down in one smooth motion. Firm, fresh potatoes cut best; soft or old ones may squash. After use, push out any trapped pieces and rinse the blade grid and pusher under running water, using a brush between the blades. Dry it well before storing. If you run a kiosk or hotel kitchen, keep it on a fixed, stable surface where the full lever stroke has room.
How it compares
Cutting chips by knife is slow, tiring and gives uneven sticks that fry at different speeds. Small handheld chip cutters struggle with big potatoes. This lever cutter handles a whole potato in one stroke with even results, making it far faster and better suited to busy kitchens than either alternative.
