FIMAR Disc NPD 12x12x8 for Professional Catering

A stainless steel disc for consistent slicing and portioning in professional catering kitchens. Discs of this type provide a flat, rigid surface that guides a blade evenly across ingredients, ensuring uniform thickness and reducing waste. The method relies on the disc's smooth, level face and its ability to resist warping under repeated use, which keeps cuts precise over long service.

The operator places the disc on a stable worktop or cutting board, aligns the ingredient against its edge, and draws the knife along the surface. The disc's fixed dimensions act as a physical stop, preventing the blade from cutting deeper than intended. This sequence is repeated for each slice, allowing rapid, standardised portioning of vegetables, meats or baked goods without constant measurement.

Constructed from stainless steel, the disc resists corrosion and is easily sanitised between tasks. Its 12 cm by 12 cm footprint fits neatly on most worktops, while the 8 mm thickness provides enough rigidity to maintain a flat profile during use.

Cleaning follows from the material: the disc is wiped with a damp cloth or scrubbed with a non-abrasive pad, then dried to prevent water spots. No moving parts or coatings require special treatment, so upkeep is limited to routine surface care.

The catalogue places the NPD 12x12x8 in the preparation accessories section, alongside other metric-sized cutting aids for professional kitchens.
