I love making french fries from scratch, but was finding that it took too much time to chop them by hand and then cook them in the microwave (I prefer baking them instead of frying them). I'm always on the look out for products that make life more efficient. This French fry cutter is an awesome product! Its very easy to use. And very simple and easy to remove the pieces for washing. We made lots of French fries with this in a very short amount of time.
