Wafer Slicing Guide • Jarawala™ (Est. 1914, Sihor, Gujarat)

## How to choose between Single, 2-Blade, 3-Blade, 5-Blade, Jumbo, and Katri Potato & Banana Wafer Slicers?

Multi-blade rotary and manual wafer slicers from **Jarawala™** multiply slicing 
speed proportionally per hand stroke while keeping chip thickness uniform between**
0.5mm and 3.0mm** to prevent oil soggy centres. Choose the **[Single Blade Slicer (₹710)](https://jarawala.com/products/potato-banana-wafer-slicer/single-blade-wafer-slicer/)**
for home/small batches, the **[Jarawala Jumbo Wafer Slicer (₹1,150)](https://jarawala.com/products/potato-banana-wafer-slicer/jarawala-jumbo-potato-banana-wafer-slicer/)**
for wide raw banana coins and extra-large baking potatoes, the **[3-Blade (₹1,449)](https://jarawala.com/products/potato-banana-wafer-slicer/3-blade-slicer/)**
or **[5-Blade Slicer (₹1,650)](https://jarawala.com/products/potato-banana-wafer-slicer/5-blade-slicer/)**
for commercial hot-chips counters, and the **[Katri Slicer (₹695)](https://jarawala.com/products/potato-banana-wafer-slicer/katri-slicer-net-wafer/)**
for decorative crisscross net wafers.

## 2. How to Prevent Raw Banana Chips from Breaking During Slicing

 1. **Keep Moisture Tight:** Peel chilled raw green bananas immediately before slicing
    over heated palm or groundnut oil (or brine bath) so starch does not gum onto the
    cutting edge.
 2. **Calibrate Screw Depth (0.8mm–1.2mm):** Set Jarawala’s adjustable blade gap strictly
    at ~1.0mm for translucent banana wafers; going thinner than 0.6mm causes chipping,
    while exceeding 2.0mm creates chewy centres.
 3. **Clean Without Harsh Abrasives:** Flush starch off high-carbon stainless steel
    blades immediately with lukewarm water and dry thoroughly to keep edges razor-sharp
    across 4–6 months of heavy daily operation.

## 3. Frequently Asked Questions

Can blades be sharpened or replaced on Jarawala wafer slicers?

Yes. Jarawala wafer slicers (from Single Blade up to 5-Blade and Jumbo models) use
bolted stainless steel blades that can be removed for honing or replacement. Contact
our Sihor team on WhatsApp (+91 94277 77746) for genuine replacement blades.

How do I make crisscross net wafers (Katri chips)?

Use the dedicated [Katri Slicer (₹695)](https://jarawala.com/products/potato-banana-wafer-slicer/katri-slicer-net-wafer/)
and rotate the potato 90 degrees between each downward pass across the corrugated
steel plate.
