Crinkle Cutter Knife for Wavy Fries and Veggies
Homemade fries taste great, but straight-cut ones never look like the crinkle fries kids ask for. A regular knife can't make those ridges. A crinkle cutter can, and it takes no special skill.
It's a crinkle cut knife: a short, wide stainless steel blade with a deep wavy edge and a sturdy handle. Press it straight down through a potato and every slice comes out with ridges on both sides. Crinkle fries and wavy veggie slices that look like they came from a restaurant.
Why crinkle cuts are worth it
The ridges give each fry more surface, so there's more crispy edge and more space for salt and seasoning to cling. Kids also tend to eat more vegetables when they come in fun shapes.
How do you make crinkle cut fries?
Cut a peeled potato into slabs about 1 cm (0.4 in) thick with the crinkle fry cutter, then cut each slab into sticks the same way. Soak the sticks in cold water for about 30 minutes, dry them well, then bake or fry until golden. The soak pulls out surface starch, so the fries crisp up instead of going limp.
What to cut with it
- Crinkle fries and waffle-style potato chips
- Carrot coins for roasting or snacks
- Crinkle-cut pickles and cucumbers
- Zucchini, sweet potato and beets
- Firm cheese and butter for a fancy platter
For waffle fries, cut a slice, turn the potato a quarter turn, and cut again.
Two sizes of wavy knife
The big size has a blade about 12.5 cm (4.9 in) long and is about 23 cm (9 in) overall, which is good for large potatoes. The small size has a blade about 10.5 cm (4.1 in) long, easier for carrots and cucumbers.
Using it safely
Cut on a cutting board and press straight down with your palm on top of the handle. Keep your other hand flat on the vegetable, away from the blade. Wash it by hand and dry it right away.
