Sunkist® Sectionizer
[Sunkist-Sectionizer]

The Sunkist Sectionizer makes quick work of slicing, halving, and wedging a variety of fruits and vegetables. This machine can be used to core and wedge apples and pears. It will also slice firm tomatoes and mushrooms for sandwiches and pizzas, or wedge them for salads. The sectionizer can slice and/or wedge hardboiled eggs, kiwi fruit, small to medium potatoes, strawberries; and just about any firm (not hard) fruit or vegetable without pits that will fit through the blade cup. It is is much safer than cutting fruits and vegetables with a knife.

Comes with a one of seven different blade cups choices. Additional ones may be purchased separately. Blade cups and plungers are dishwasher safe. Weighs 13 pounds, and is made of sturdy ABS plastic and Approved by NSF International.

Sunkist QuickTip: Easy Preparation of Orange Wedges
The Sunkist Sectionizer makes the job of cutting orange wedges a breeze. After rinsing with cool tap water, just place an orange in the flexible cup cover and press down the handle.You can expect to section 10 to 12 cartons of oranges per hour. Just choose the size of wedge drop in the appropriate blade cup.

An optional 3-in-1 blade cuts an orange in half and scores each half into three wedges.

To make fresh orange "smiles" with a wedge blade in the sectionizer, place the orange, stem end to the side, and press the handle.

Here are some hints to get the best results:

• Always use firm products
• When slicing an item width wise such as a cucumber or celery, 3" long is the best length to get 7 or 8 slices 5/16" thick.
• If the item is not too wide, more than one piece can be sliced at a time.
• When slicing an item length wise such as Napa cabbage, 5" is the recommended length. Number of slices will be determined by the width of the item.
