Is there a cheap machine available to cut up our stuff for chutneys ? I hated the cutting up part last yr and my wrist is aching thinking about it.

Help...

If you don't mind a smoother chutney you could whizz stuff in a food processor, just pulse it so it soesn't get too smooth.

I have done that before mumofstig thanks , but i was more wondering if there is a special cutting machine out there....

The Chinese type stainless steel cleaver is good for cutting hard veg , swede etc. Not a machine but much better than a knife.

I have this one , http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chinese-Cleaver-Stainless-Steel-Size/dp/B002WD6M3M/ref=sr_1_4/280-6327854-0800564?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1275233158&sr=1-4

Thanks for the idea 8doubles but i already have one of those 

I want a machine that i pop peeled veg into and it comes out the other end in adjustable size square shapes.

If there is such a device.............

How much chutney are you making and how deep are your pockets ?

Probably not big enough

would a potato chipper work to do the long ways cutting then you slice the chips into pieces.... :blink:

Have you looked in Lakeland?  If they don't stock it then it's not worth stocking

I use a V slicer. It slices thick and thin, makes juliene or dices. I think they are about £20 but not sure is I got mine in Germany. Just looked on ebay and there are ones on there for £10

Same here. I could see a lot more soups happening but probably not enough to justify the cost

Hi Whisky, It is really good for slicing, makes good chips and has different size cutters for thick or thin. Dicing takes a little more effort but is still good when compared to hand cutting. I bought it because I have MS and my hands have no feeling so I was for ever cutting myself. I use it for most things even tomatoes and cucumber for salads as it cuts really fine on the thin setting.
