Common Questions About Confectionery Cutters
What is a guitar candy slicer?
Unfortunately, a guitar candy slicer is not a combination of musical instrument and candy guillotine. The "guitar" terminology refers to the multiple cutting strings on the arms. Different models have different numbers of strings per arm as well as different spacing between strings, which determines product width. Some models even have the option to change cutting arms for different spacing.
Is all candy cutting equipment adjustable?
Some pieces listed here only come with one cutting arm, and therefore only one cutting width. Additional arms can be purchased separately, but not all arms are interchangeable. Double check the accessories you want are compatible with the confectionery cutter base that you'll be using. If you know you'll want more than one width option, some of our products come with extra cutting arms included in the set, along with tools to change the arms out.
Do I need a single- or double-armed cutter?
A double-armed guitar candy slicer will cut your candy into precise squares without having to turn it. With a single-armed slicer, you'll need to rotate the candy 90 degrees and then cut again to form squares. If you're going to churn out high volumes of candy, the double-armed slicer will save a significant amount of time, but if your output is low you can save money by going for the single-armed slicer.
What should I do if a string breaks?
Some models come with replacement strings in case one breaks or loosens over time. These models will include the tools necessary to change strings and cutting arms, so make sure you keep them somewhere safe. You can also purchase cutting arms individually.
Do confectionery cutters work as fudge cutters?
Yes, this candy cutting equipment will work as a fudge cutter. Wire arms are built to give sharp cuts in fudge or other candy, creating a precise, professionally finished product. As long as candy is soft enough to cut and fits on the base, these confectionery slicers will work.
What are candy cutters made of?
Most guitar lever candy slicers made of a combination of stainless steel and plastic. The stainless steel provides a durable cutting instrument while the plastic serves as a base that is easy to maintain. The arms are removable, so you can care for the stainless steel separately from the plastic.
