Bean Frenchers and Green Bean Slicers 

These devices have been around for decades; your great grandmother may have used one very similar to this to speed preparation of green and yellow beans for canning.

Everything All can be shipped by a variety of methods, including overnight, if you have a canning emergency!

Note: In response to requests for canning products and books, I've added this page, and I've found a reliable shipper/supplier (Amazon.com) for the products here. I appreciate your business- buying the products here helps support the website!

 

Features:

  • Cut down on tedious preparation time.
  • Easily slice fresh green beans in elegantly slender French-cut slices.
  • Simply feed beans into hopper while turning hand crank.
  • Clamp mounts onto edge of table (up to 1-1/4" thick).
  • Heavy-duty construction with stainless steel blades.
This one comes from Gurney's Seed, and is very similar; but in a white finish.

Here's an inexpensive design from Golda's Kitchen. It is the Norpro French bean slicer.

Features:

  • Simultaneously slices and removes strings from string beans
  • Cross blade first tops and tails the beans
  • Spring-loaded funnel grasps bean firmly
  • Made of hard plastic, with stainless-steel blades
  • Hand wash in soapy water

 

And here is one more, that is very similar to the first, just less expensive!

 

Remember to ALWAYS call the farm or orchard BEFORE you go - weather, heavy picking and business conditions can always affect their hours and crops!
