Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Deep-fried, oven-roasted, or tossed in a sauté pan... everybody loves french fries--or, as an alternative, sweet potato fries. Cuisinart's precisely engineered blade cuts uniform strips from whole potatoes, yams, turnips, zucchini, eggplant, or anything else you can think of, into just the right size to produce a crisp outside and tender interior. It's also useful for cutting vegetables for crudités and preparing fruit for salads and preserves. Made of stainless steel and dishwasher-safe, it comes with a limited three-year warranty. --Victoria Jenkins

Product Description

With this versatile cutting disc, you'll create 1/4-inch square strips of potatoes, zucchini, and turnips for deep frying or baking, coarsely chop tomatoes and onions for salsa, make sticks of celery and carrots and other vegetables for salads and crudités, and cut strips of fruits for salads and preserves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not made for sweet potatoes., September 29, 2005

We've been eating more sweet potatoes and yams as healthy alternative to white potatoes. Usually I slice them and drizzle with olive oil and bake, so I thought slicing them as fries would be more appealing to kids (and less expensive than the frozen ones at the health food co-op). I used this disc in my Cuisinart Prep 11 plus. It turns out that yams and sweet potatoes are alot more firm than white potatoes. The light gold colored ones sliced up a little better than the dark red ones, but both colors were a bit of a hassle, getting stuck in the blade and jamming it up.
Works great on white potatoes though, and I'm looking forward to using it on other vegetables for stir fries and salads.

I bought this for my hubby as a Christmas gift because he is the french fry maker in our house.....for some reason I thought the fries would be thick cut fries, but they are more like McDonald fries (long and thin). So if you are looking for Micky D fries, this is your blade. If you want them a little thicker, then I don't think this is what you are looking for.

I love this disc - and I use it more than all my other cuisinart discs put together. It makes beautiful julienned vegetables, tender zucchini sticks that I can saute with garlic & parsley & toss with whole wheat pasta. And I love to julienne root vegetables like potatoes, turnips & rutabaga then chop the sticks into cubes on my chopping board - they are then absolutely perfect for my home made soups. And it's the best way I've found to cut onions in my cuisinart. I don't like to whiz onions with the blade because they end up too finely chopped. But if I put them through this julienne disc they mostly come out just the right size for sautes, soups & sauces. This disc is also perfect for getting celery to just the right size for soups and sauces. If I didn't own this disc I'd use my cuisinart way less often than I do. It was an expensive addition but an absolutely worthwhile one.
