There are so many ways to add your five-a-day to meals in more appetising ways. And there are almost as many different kitchen tools for the job that can clutter your cupboards and drawers! Mandoline slicer. Potato chipper. Vegetable slicer and cutter. Julienne peeler. Carrot shredder. Onion slicer. Food processor. Oh, and your traditional knife and chopping board. The list goes on. Some of them make prep needlessly laborious and monotonous. Many are messy, a safety hazard for fingers and hands, and a wrench on your wrist. And plenty aren’t dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
But we’ll cut the chase, the Thermomix® Cutter is finally here to make it quicker and easier to add a fresh new look and moreish mouth feel to healthy dishes.
A food processor and mandoline slicer in one. And more.
In one compact, double-sided disc, the Thermomix® Cutter has four razor-sharp functions for thickly and thinly slicing and grating vegetables, root vegetables, fruits or hard cheeses, quickly, easily and precisely.
It’s easy to assemble, easy to use, easy to clean (and dishwasher safe) and leaves your Thermomix® bowl clean and ready to go without having to rinse. It’s never been easier to look after your health, speed up your weekly meal prep and dial up your wow-factor results.
It's surprising what slicing can do
Vegetables are an essential part of a healthy balanced diet that can easily be made more appealing to look at, easier to eat and even more exciting all-round when they’re sliced. But you might be surprised how much the evenness and thickness (or thinness) of your slices really make a difference.
When your vegetables are nice and evenly thickly sliced, they’re more likely to cook faster and more evenly, and be eaten by even the fussy eaters in your family. And when they’re perfectly evenly sliced to paper-thinness, they can add a whole new texture, flavor and visual dimension to your meals.
Vegetables that are especially suited to slicing include zucchinis, potatoes, carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes and make perfect additions to salads, stir-fries, pizza toppings or sandwich fillings. And with so many ways to slice and dice the whole rainbow of veggies, the creative possibilities are endless. Here’s just a taster.

For utter perfection with the Thermomix® Cutter.
Check out our top tips for turning the speed up on your weekly meal prep and effortlessly transforming healthy food into next-level wow-factor dishes with the Thermomix® Cutter.
- For perfectly even slices, guide the ingredients through the feeder tube with steady and gentle pressure on the pusher.
- Raw ingredients can be cut thinly or thickly, according to your taste, but you’ll achieve a better result by thinly slicing firmer fibrous vegetables such as beetroot or celeriac.
- Unless you’re looking for a particular result, such as thin and crispy oven-baked root vegetable chips, use the thicker side of the Cutter for thick-slicing and grating your veggies so they keep their shape, flavour and juiciness and don’t dry out in the oven.
- When buying your ingredients, choose small fruits and vegetables that will fit in the feeder and achieve the best cutting results
- To evenly slice small ingredients, such as mushrooms or strawberries, stack your ingredients in the feeder, hold with the pusher, then start the motor. Once done, stop the motor and repeat with another batch of ingredients.
- Vacuum seal your sliced and grated meal prep ingredients and salads in a Vac-U-Seal container to keep them fresher for longer. Great for quick-pickling too – vacuuming develops those tangy flavours much faster!
