Choose the Right Cutting Drum for Spring Produce Recipes
Even, precise cuts enhance both the look and taste of spring produce. Ankarsrum’s Vegetable Cutter delivers consistent results while preserving flavour and texture. The three included drums make it easy to match the cut to each ingredient and recipe.
Slicing Drum

Coarse Grating Drum
The coarse grating drum makes light work of shredding root vegetables, fruit and greens for soups, stews and pies. It’s also perfect for grating nuts, chocolate and cheese—saving time on otherwise messy, time-consuming prep.
Medium Grating Drum
The medium drum is ideal for grating cheese directly into the bowl, preparing fruit for baking, or raw vegetables for quick, easy salads.
For even greater versatility, additional drums are available—including a fine grating drum, julienne drum and potato dumpling drum—giving you even more ways to prepare your ingredients.

Colourful Coleslaw
A vibrant coleslaw where vegetables and fruit come together with a fresh ginger and lime dressing.

Trending Spring Produce
Spring produce takes centre stage in the kitchen while it’s in season.
Asparagus
Asparagus is rich in fibre and folate, with a mild, well-balanced flavour. It’s best enjoyed lightly cooked or raw, thinly sliced. With the Vegetable Cutter, you can easily create delicate asparagus slices for salads or as a base for simple spring dishes.
Tip: Store fresh asparagus like flowers—standing upright in a glass with a little water in the fridge. This helps it stay fresh for longer and retain its crispness.
Green Garlic
Green garlic and garlic scapes—the younger, milder forms of fresh garlic—are more delicate than dried garlic and contain natural flavour compounds that add character without overpowering a dish. Thinly slice the cloves or shred the green shoots with the Vegetable Cutter, and use them in salads, dressings or lightly sautéed dishes.
Tip: Don’t discard the greens—blend them into a pesto or use them as a flavourful topping.
Radishes
Radishes are crisp, low in calories and rich in vitamin C. They’re especially good raw and thinly sliced, ideally served chilled for extra freshness. The Vegetable Cutter ensures even slices for salads and simple sides.
Tip: Soak radishes in cold water for a short time before serving to make them extra crisp and refreshing.
