KitchenAid KFPJU Julienne Disc, fits 11-Cup Processor
I’ve probably had this disc for a year. I just used it for the first time last week. I hate I waited so long. I’ve been using it on potatoes to make hashbrowns and it is wonderful. (If you love Waffle House hashbrowns, this gets you closer to their texture.)
If you have to julienne a fair amount of food, I suggest this over a knife any day. I have not compared it to a mandoline yet.
As with anything done in a processor, there will be some irregular pieces toward the end of the food. These can be fished out and cleaned up with a knife. I wonder if they could be avoided altogether if you “trimmed” the food first. For example after I peel a potato, I just throw it into the feed tube. I wonder if I would have perfect pieces if I took a knife and made sure the sides of the potato were uniform first. As it’s just hashbrowns and not a five-star presentation, I’m not looking for perfection.
Disc clean up is easy, hand wash or toss in the diswasher.
