The Chip Shop Champion : Metcalfe EC20 Review

When service gets hectic and the orders keep coming, you need prep equipment that can match the pace. The Metcalfe EC20 Electric Potato Chipper is purpose-built for high-volume foodservice, turning peeled potatoes into uniform chips with speed, precision, and minimal waste. It’s a chipper that earns its place on any serious commercial line-up — and here’s why.
