An innovative household appliance featuring a motorized mincing knife, developed for De'Longhi Appliances S.r.l., Ariete Commercial Division.
Pestifero was born from the need to integrate the purely manual cutting of the mincing knife into a household appliance.
The "mezzaluna" or mincing knife is a two-handled knife typically used in Italian cuisine. It is used to shred or mince some foods, including vegetables, such as onion or parsley, or cuts of meat.
It is a type of manual cutting that preserves the flavors better, being a coarser and less homogeneous chopping than that obtained with household appliances.
