Specifications indicate that this slicer features a 12-blade array constructed from 410 stainless steel. With a diameter of approximately 12 inches, it is sized to handle medium fruits like cantaloupe, honeydew, and pineapple. To help manage the physical effort required for slicing, the unit includes silicone overmold handles designed to provide a secure grip and better leverage during use.
Tests show that the structural integrity of the spot-welded blades is best suited for soft-flesh fruits rather than extra-large or under-ripe watermelons. While the stainless steel provides resistance to rust, the 0.8mm gauge thickness may experience bowing if significant downward force is applied. To maintain the tool’s condition, users should ensure the fruit is centered within the 12-inch frame before applying pressure.
Features include a center coring ring that allows for 12 uniform wedges in a single motion. The materials used are BPA-free, adding a layer of safety for food preparation in the family kitchen. For those seeking a different style of fruit preparation, the Kuhn Rikon Melon Knife offers a serrated edge alternative for manual slicing.
