Kumera Chipper - Manual Vegetable & Fruit Cutter Press: Even Cuts for Chips, Salad & Prep

 

A manual vegetable cutter press is a kitchen prep tool designed to cut vegetables and fruit into evenly sized pieces quickly and safely. This heavy-duty lever press is ideal for cafés, food trucks, restaurants, and home cooks who want consistent cuts without electricity. The stable base and long handle reduce effort while improving safety and accuracy.

 

What this cutter is used for:

This multi-purpose food prep cutter is not limited to chips — it’s built for fast, uniform cutting across a wide range of ingredients.

 

How does this link to Sourdough? Well It's Perfect for Sourdough Toppings & Inclusions

If you’re a baker, you know that even cuts are the secret to a perfectly baked loaf. Whether you're prepping colorful toppings for a decorated Focaccia or dicing sharp cheddar and jalapeños for savory sourdough inclusions, this press ensures every piece is the same size. No more biting into a raw chunk of onion or finding burnt bits of bell pepper — consistent sizing means everything cooks at the exact same rate inside your dough.

 

Cuts evenly:

  • Potatoes and kumara (chips & wedges)

  • Carrots and cucumber sticks

  • Onion petals

  • Apples and pears (with corer blades)

  • Pumpkin and firm vegetables

  • Salad and stir-fry prep

 

Why use a vegetable cutter press?

Using a knife for bulk prep takes time and results vary. A lever-press vegetable cutter applies even pressure through a fixed cutting grid, producing consistent sizes every time — improving cooking results and presentation while reducing prep time and hand fatigue.

 

Product Description:

This commercial-grade cutter features a sturdy metal frame and smooth lever-press action that keeps the blade stable during use. Interchangeable stainless-steel grids allow different cut sizes, while star cutters enable coring fruit or creating wedges and petal-cut onions. Designed for both commercial kitchens and serious home cooks, it provides reliable performance without slipping or wobbling.

 

Features:

  • Heavy-duty metal construction

  • Smooth lever-press action for easy cutting

  • Three stainless-steel cutting grids

  • Two-star cutters for coring & wedges

  • Stable non-slip base

  • Easy-remove blades for cleaning

  • Suitable for home and commercial kitchens

 

Cleaning Made Simple: 

We know the biggest downside to kitchen prep is the cleanup, so we’ve kept it simple. The PurePress system is designed for a "strip-and-rinse" workflow:

  • Quick-Release Components: The stainless steel blades and press moulds pop out in seconds.

  • Easy Maintenance: No hidden food traps or complex gears. Most users find that a quick rinse under a hot tap and a light scrub with a kitchen brush is all it takes to get it back to work.

  • Ready for Round Two: Because it’s heavy-duty metal and stainless steel, it dries quickly and won't hold onto food odors like plastic alternatives.
