How Do Confectionery Guitars Work?
Chocolate & Praline Guitar Cutters

Confectionery Guitars are a professional cutting tool that provides quick and uniform cuts of a variety of  confectionery products. Artisan Chocolatiers most commonly use Confectionery Guitars to quickly cut uniform pieces of ganache but also use for a variety of confectionery products including jellies, marzipan, almond paste, caramel, and so on. Confectionery Guitars are also referred to as chocolate Guitars, chocolate cutters, and Praline cutters.

A high quality confectionery Guitar cutter consists of a well manufactured aluminum base for weight efficiency and a variety of food grade stainless steel wire frames in various widths, which are most durable. Food products are simply transferred to the Guitar cutter using a 'pick up pan.' Once on the Guitar, the frame of choice, which is attached to the base, is lowered onto the base, cutting through product. With only a few movements, multiple uniform cuts are achieved.

Double frames provide complete bi-directional cuts, whereas single frames cut only one direction at a time. With a single frame, cut strips or use a pick up pan to turn the food product and make additional cuts for  square or rectangular shapes.

Confectionery guitars have standard base intervals of 7.5 mm but can also be ordered in 5 mm intervals, which is less common. For example, in the 7.5 mm intervals, cuts would be at 15mm, 22.5 mm, 30 mm, and 37.5 mm.
