About the VeggeTamer 3000

You have tried the rest. Now meet the best. The VeggeTamer 3000 is the result of three years of kitchen research, fourteen prototype revisions, and one very frank conversation with a home economist from Dayton, Ohio. The conclusion was unanimous: American kitchens needed a device that could produce a perfect 3/8-inch diagonal medallion from a carrot — every single time — without guesswork, without waste, and without the quiet dread that comes from working with an ordinary knife.

The secret is the patented TameLock™ Guide Channel — a precision-machined aluminum rail that holds your vegetable at exactly 22.5 degrees while the EasyGlide™ Cutter Arm travels its fixed, firm path. You do not aim. You do not measure. You place, you pull, and you achieve perfection.

Three thickness settings on the VeggeGauge™ Dial — 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch, and 5/8 inch — cover the full range of serious vegetable work. Whether you're preparing a Sunday pot roast, a church-supper casserole, or simply getting a head start on the week, the VeggeTamer 3000 handles carrots, zucchini, yellow squash, and parsnips with identical, unhurried confidence.

  • Aircraft-grade aluminum alloy body — built for daily use, decade after decade
  • Surgical-steel VeggeSlice™ blade — dishwasher safe, rust-proof, stays sharp
  • Ergonomic VeggeGrip™ handle — walnut-finish molded resin, right-hand optimized
  • TameLock™ Guide Channel holds vegetables at fixed 22.5° diagonal angle
  • VeggeGauge™ Dial: three thickness settings (3/8", 1/2", 5/8")
  • Non-slip rubber feet — stable on wet or dry countertops
  • Includes 12-page VeggeGuide™ Instruction Booklet with 44 recipe suggestions
  • Includes CleanReach™ Brush for blade-channel maintenance between uses
Please note: The VeggeTamer 3000 is optimized for vegetables with a diameter between 3/4 inch and 1-3/4 inches. Use of beets will void the warranty. Potatoes, onions, and turnips are outside the TameLock™ operating specification. Harrington's assumes no liability for attempts to tame beets.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Abstract warm illustration suggesting the rhythm of the kitchen — diagonal cuts of gold and amber, the TameLock channel rendered as a motif against cream and brown, a sense of order and abundance

When my SauceMaster II finally gave out after seven years, I was heartbroken — I thought nothing could ever fill that void in my kitchen. The day the VeggeTamer 3000 arrived from Harrington's, I cut an entire bag of carrots in under four minutes. Identical slices. Every one. My husband Earl said it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen on a plate, and Earl is not easily moved.

I own the ChopZone Deluxe, the PeelPerfect Pro, and the original SliceWiz — and I will tell you plainly that none of them do for a zucchini what the VeggeTamer 3000 does. The ChopZone Deluxe is wonderful for what it does, but for diagonal medallions it simply cannot compete. I've already ordered a second VeggeTamer as a gift for my sister-in-law in Duluth.

My daughter gave me a PeelPerfect Pro for Christmas and I thought that was as good as kitchen gadgets were ever going to get. Then I saw the VeggeTamer 3000 in this very catalog and thought — well, what's the harm? The harm is that now I cannot imagine life before it. My parsnips look like they belong in a restaurant. I am seventy-one years old and I have never said that before.

I was skeptical. After the MashMatic situation — don't ask — I swore off mail-order kitchen gadgets for good. My neighbor Phyllis kept talking about her VeggeTamer 3000 at every potluck from January clear through March, and finally I gave in. The joke is on me. Phyllis was right. I have not once looked at a yellow squash with anxiety since it arrived.

After the holidays I usually spend two hours in January getting my kitchen gadgets reorganized. This year the VeggeTamer 3000 earned permanent front-drawer status, right alongside my DiceRight 500. They are a pair — one handles the cubes, one handles the coins. Together they cover nearly everything I need for a weeknight meal. Harrington's has not let me down in twenty-two years of ordering and they did not start now.
