CUTTER ELEMENT

摘要

To obtain French fries which cook to a substantially uniform degree of "doneness" after blanching, cutter blades are positioned to cut segments of smaller cross-sectional dimensions through the lower solids content pith at the center of a potato, and to cut segments of larger cross-sectional dimensions from the higher solids content portions of the potato,
