This is a vintage, manual, hand-cranked King Kutter food processor, popular in the mid-century kitchen. It is known for its durable, all-metal construction of a heavily chrono-plated base and stainless steel cutting cones. It is designed to slice, shred, grate, and cut various foods, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, cheese, and meats. There is a suction cup on the base that secures the unit to the countertop during use. To maintain the mirror finish and sharpness of the cones, hand washing is typically recommended over dishwasher use. Please see the provided photos for further details.
