amano5 hand-operated food slicer – Reliable technology equipped with modern tools
The hand-operated food slicer amano5 has a high degree of truth to material, is largely made of sturdy metal and, thanks to its timeless design, practically fits into any home.
It is operated by a smooth metal crank with a particularly high-quality beech wood handle and therefore no electricity is required. Therefore it can be used everywhere and at any time. The amano5 is equipped with a guide bracket for better discharge of large, hard foods during the slicing process. The advantage of this is that the evenly cut food does not get in the way or block the continuing "crank operation". The food to be sliced is channelled away from the crank and then lands on the bamboo board provided exactly for this purpose. It perfectly fits into the rails directly under the food slicer - it can be pulled out and used as a rustic serving plate or cutting board, too.
Furthermore, the amano5 is equipped with four suction feet, which ensure a particularly secure, non-slip stand. You only have to press the device a little bit onto the surface of the desired workstation and the silicone feet will suck themselves tight.
The slice thickness can be adjusted continuously up to approx. 20 mm and the stainless steel carriage can be removed very easily.
*Please note that some bamboo boards are not marked with the correct FSC® image.

Special features
Full metal construction
The full metal design of the hand operated food slicer amano5 guarantees the best possible slicing results and a long service life.
Smooth crank
The robust and smooth manual crank from metal with a plastic handle is operated with the right hand and ensures that the food slicer amano5 do not require any electricity at all.
Guide bracket
For a better result of large, hard pieces during the slicing process, the amano5 is equipped with a guide bracket for the food to be sliced. This has the advantage that the evenly sliced cut food doesn’t get in the way of or block continuing “crank operation”.
FSC® certified bamboo board
The sliced food is channelled away from the crank and then lands on the bamboo board intended for this purpose. It also serves as a cutting board with perfect material properties.
High-quality suction feet
When you press the hand-operated food slicer amano5 onto the surface, the silicone feet attach firmly and thus prevent slipping during the cutting process.
Slice thickness continuously adjustable
Stepless adjustment of the slice thickness is possible from wafer-thin up to approx. 20 mm. Thanks to the infinitely variable slicing thickness adjustment, the food can be cut into appetising slices.
Detachable carriage
The stainless steel carriage of the amano5 food slicer can be easily removed for oversized products or for cleaning.
Circular blade
The serrated circular blade, made from stainless steel, ensures the perfect "slice". It is well suited for all kinds of slicing. Both hard and soft food may be cut into appetizing slices.
