Cutting, Slicing & Processing

Description
The Premium Fermentation Prep Station
The Breville Sous Chef 16 is the food processor I recommended earlier — and for good reason. With 24 adjustable slicing settings (0.3mm to 8mm!), five included discs, and a massive 16-cup capacity, this is the ultimate tool for serious fermenters. While it costs significantly more than the Ninja, the precision and versatility make it a worthwhile investment for those who ferment regularly.
The Complete Fermentation Arsenal
- 24-setting adjustable slicer — from paper-thin 0.3mm to thick 8mm cuts
- Reversible shredding disc — fine and coarse options
- French fries disc — perfect for fermented potato sticks
- 16-cup (3.8L) capacity — prep vegetables for weeks of ferments
- 5.5-inch extra-wide feed chute — fits whole cabbages
- 1450W induction motor — handles the toughest vegetables
- Mini bowl (2.5 cups) — for small batches and spice blends
Why Fermenters Choose This Over Everything Else
The adjustable slicer alone justifies the price — 24 precise thickness settings mean you can dial in the exact cut for each ferment. Want 2mm sauerkraut? 5mm pickle chips? 0.5mm paper-thin onions for quick pickles? One disc does it all. The massive capacity means prepping vegetables for a month's worth of ferments in one session. The extra-wide chute eliminates most pre-cutting — whole bell peppers, onions, even small cabbages fit. The induction motor is commercial-grade, designed to run continuously without overheating. Storage containers keep all discs organized and protected. This is what I'd choose if I could only have one food processor.
