Plate Usage
SLICING PLATES
R291 1/32" or 1mm Slicing Plate
The thinnest slicing plate is the R291. It is used for
paper thin slicing of potatoes for potato chips. This
plate will also slice carrots lengthwise which can be
soaked in cold water to make flower petals for
garnish.
R210 5/64" or 2mm Slicing Plate
The next to the thinnest of the straight slicing plates
is the R210. It provides a wafer thin slice that
makes harder vegetables look best. Carrots,
radishes, celery and potatoes look terrific through
this plate. This is the best plate for shredded
lettuce for tacos and sandwiches. This is also the
plate for cabbage for a German style slaw.
R292 1/8" or 3mm Slicing Plate
This is one of the new thickness of slice available.
By cutting 1/8" thick it gives good shelf life and
maximum yield. Almost any vegetable can be cut
with this plate and gives greater yield than the
standard slicer which comes with the unit.
R211 5/32" or 4mm Slicing Plate
The R211 is the best all purpose slicing plate. For
most vegetables this thickness is best. Cucum-
bers, mushrooms, zucchini, and celery all cut
beautifully with the R211 while providing a good
shelf life. This is the second most popular plate
requested and comes standard with the unit. Even
soft foods like strawberries, bananas, and green
onion tops slice marvelously.
R293 3/16" or 5mm Slicing Plate
Some foods are more attractive when sliced a bit
thicker and that is the function of the R293. Half
slices of tomato or bell pepper work good as well as
yellow squash and zucchini. Try deep fried thick
slices of potato using the R293 for home fries.
R270 1/4" or 6mm Slicing Plate
For soups and stews an extra thick slice is desir-
able. Carrots and celery work great this way. Any
food that you want a more generous slice on will
look terrific through the R270. For this reason it is
the third most popular plate .
R212 5/64" or 2mm Waved Slicing Plate
This is a decorative, thin, waved slice. Harder
vegetables will work best with this plate like carrots,
radishes, zucchini and potatoes.

Plate Usage
GRATING PLATES
R271 Hard Cheese Grating Plate
The R271 is the plate which will make a powder from
hard cheeses. Parmesan and Romano are used most
extensively with this. When potatoes are run through
this plate a batter is produced which is excellent for
potato pancakes.
R294 .02" or .7mm Pulping Plate
The R294 pulping plate was created to grind Chinese
radish into a pulp that is served with sushi. More-
over, it will render any vegetable into a wet pulp or
batter, much the way a vegetable juicer does. This is
ideal for vegetable sauces that are low fat.
R295 1/32 or 1mm Pulping Plate
The R295 reacts identically to the R294 but is just
slightly coarser so that not as much juice is extracted.
Use on ginger root (shoga), white radish (dikon), baby
turnips (kabo), or lotus root (renkon).
R208 1/16" or 1.5mm Fine Grating Plate
The R208 is a delicate grate used mostly for cheeses
and carrots. The width of the grate is 1/16" or 1.5mm
It also does an excellent job on bread crumbs and
cold chocolate.
R209 5/64" or 2mm Medium Grating Plate
This is the most ordered plate of this series. While
being used mainly for cheeses and carrots its size, 5/
64" or 2mm, gives maximum yield with excellent shelf
life. Also used on coconuts and potatoes for hash
browns. This is the grating plate that comes stan-
dard with the unit.
