Review: And it is built like.. - [See my update below] It works! And it is built like...like...like I don't know what, you don't get really well made stuff any more. A comparison is impossible. There are NO plastic load-bearing parts. It is all metal except for the roller. It is a joy just to hold. My kids are already squabbling over who gets it when I die. UPDATE: 10 years later... I've had that much service out of it, and it was still going strong till this morning. It failed, and I now recognize what some of the one-star reviewers have said. The handle turrns but the cutter doesn't. Now that I've taken it apart I have found the cutter is (supposed to be) attached to the spindle with three spot welds. Except they're incompatible materials. There is melted metal but no weld. It is amazing that just being jammed together the spindle and cutter worked this long. It is a fundamental design flaw. The spindle needs splines. I wince when I read my cheerful gush about "no plastic load-bearing parts". It turns out to have a worse defect.
Review: Bean shredder - Its a modern interpretation of the old fashioned ones - and works quite well but is not as robust as the one my granny had!! I'm happy with it though.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you do these raw? or already cooked?**
A: Raw.  I think they would be too mushy to use after they are cooked.  It worked pretty well though.  Better than the little tool that you have to pull them through a bean at a time!

**Q: Does the Norpro French bean slicer cut the beans diagonally, or straight down the length of the bean? The YouTube video showed only the latter.**
A: The Norpro slicer cuts straight down the length of the green bean and doesn't cut the bean diagonally (one generally finds diagonally cut green beans, also called "Julienne," at the grocery store.) Some of the customers who answered my question were delighted with the Norpro product, some very disappointed. Other reviews go into the specific pros and cons.

**Q: Is it dishwasher-safe?**
A: my answer is no, it does not state dishwasher safe anywhere on the box.

**Q: Can it cut other vegetables**
A: Probably not, it’s designed for string beans. Great tool cut the prep time to French Cut string beans.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works a treat
*by B***N on 12 July 2024*

I've purchased several different types of runner bean slicer (frencher). The slicer is absolutely brilliant and works well on all thickness of runner beans. I find the best way to use the frencher is put a small wooden stool on the counter top and put the frencher on the seat pad and put a container underneath to catch the slices.
