Krisk Bean Slicer

I first had one of these many years ago, it was excellent but it wore out, as do all good gadgets. It was great to find them again, especially as our allotment means we have a lot of beans to slice. The trick to get the beans through is to hold them close to the cutter and feed them in a bit at a time. Its so very much easier than a kitchen knife! They wash easily and I keep them upright on a small jar on the worktop next to the knife block (two fit very well), so the blades get a chance to air properly.

I just opened this newly arrived slicer with great excitement and rushed out to the garden to collect runner beans to slice. The device chops off the ends beautifully as promised but neither I nor husband with strong wrists could get a single bean through the slicer. We've tried with a smaller bean but still no good. They just keel over and break up. I have a photo to prove it if you'd like to see it. So disappointing.

Really does work! Takes the nasty stringy bit off the sides of the bean at the same time as slicing it, so easy!

I find this bean slicer very useful, it is easy to use and makes slicing runner beans much quicker than using a knife. I don't use the bit at the end to top and tail the beans as I find it easier to use scissors to snip the ends off.

Bought this Krisk bean slicer a few days ago. It is amazing!!! Can't rate it highly enough. Slices beans with such ease. I'm now willing my runners to grow faster as I just love using it. Don't waste money on the rotary style slicers THIS IS THE ONE YOU NEED!!. UTTERLY BRILLIANT.❤
