Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is really attractive, but it doesn't work at all. I had a pound of green beans, fresh, in the fridge on the day it arrived. I tried to french about 4 or 5 beans in it, and the beans just bent on the way into the device. They weren't stiff enough, or the blades weren't sharp enough, to catch the bean. I even tried cutting the tips off the beans, to give a cut surface to the ends, but that didn't work either.
So, I thought it might be useful for some other stiffer vegetable. Tried it with peeled celery. It worked okay on that, but you have to preslice the celery to green bean thickness, which seems silly. If I'm going to do all that, I'll just slice the celery. Finally, I tried it on a carrot, and actually pushed one of the blades out of the device.
After that, it went into the trash. That was a $6 lesson for me.
If you want a good green bean frencher, the "Krisk Bean Stringer and Slicer" or "Norpro French Bean Slicer" is the way to go. It's not as attractive, but it does the job easily. (Note: NOT the crank operated Norpro French Bean Slicer for $17, that one just mangles the beans. Get the little white one that you pull the bean through, for $6. It works, and it has a spring loaded holder that automatically adjusts for the thickness of the bean.)
