Slicer METALTEX Rettichschneider model 200405000 stainless steel/ABS, length 293 mm, long centering rod

The METALTEX Rettichschneider model 200405000 is a hand-held slicer designed for slicing radish and similar firm vegetables. Constructed from stainless steel and ABS plastic, with an overall length of 293 mm and a long centering rod, this tool provides a stable hold and helps create uniform, thin slices for salads, garnishes and simple food preparation tasks in the home kitchen.

Advantages

The combination of stainless steel cutting parts and a durable ABS handle offers corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. The long centering rod keeps cylindrical vegetables steady while slicing, reducing slippage and improving cut consistency. Its compact, hand-held form makes it easy to store and to use directly over bowls or cutting boards.

Suitable for

• Slicing radish and similar root vegetables
• Preparing thin salad garnishes and decorative slices
• Small-scale home food preparation and mise en place
• Quick prep tasks where a handheld slicer is preferred over larger equipment

When it may not be suitable

This slicer is intended for firm, relatively small cylindrical vegetables; it is not designed for large-volume commercial processing or for very soft or irregularly shaped produce that cannot be stabilized on the centering rod. For heavy-duty continuous use or processing large quantities, a dedicated mechanical slicer or mandoline with a larger work surface would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Materials: stainless steel (cutting component) and ABS plastic (handle)
• Overall length: 293 mm
• Design: hand-held slicer with long centering rod for stabilization
• Typical use: slicing radish and similar firm vegetables into uniform slices

How to use

Hold the slicer in one hand and position the vegetable on the long centering rod to stabilize it. Apply steady, even pressure while drawing the vegetable along the cutting edge to create uniform slices. Use over a bowl or cutting board to collect slices. After use, rinse off food residue; wash with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly to maintain the stainless steel parts. Do not place the ABS handle on direct heat sources.

What to consider before purchase

• Suitable produce size and shape: best for cylindrical, firm vegetables like radish
• Frequency of use: intended for home and small-scale tasks rather than continuous commercial use
• Cleaning and maintenance: hand washing recommended to preserve materials
• Storage space: compact hand-held design requires minimal storage room

Usage recommendations

For safe and consistent results, ensure the vegetable is centered fully on the rod and keep fingers clear of the cutting edge. Clean and dry the slicer after every use to prevent corrosion and preserve the ABS handle.
