Wedges lemons, limes, and much more!
wedgie™ is a remarkable food preparation tool that
creates perfect wedges from lemons, limes, and more.
Below are some instructions and tips to help you get the
most out of this handy gadget. Wedge on!
CAUTION: WEDGIE’S BLADES ARE VERY SHARP.
DO NOT ALLOW THE BLADES TO CONTACT SKIN.
KEEP OUT OF REACH FROM CHILDREN.
Directions for Cutting: Lift the blade assembly off the
base and put aside. Make sure the support cradle is
seated at the bottom of the base. Position the food to be
wedged in the center of the support cradle. Line up the
green handles with the green blade guides, and fit the
blades into the blade guide slots. When ready to wedge,
use both hands to push the blade assembly all the way
down, then dump the wedges out. If the wedges seem
stuck, simply remove the blade assembly and raise
the support cradle to retrieve
the wedges. Clean out excess
food from the blades and
support cradle before cutting
again, if necessary.
Cleaning: Dishwashing is
recommended. If you must

brush or other tool around the sharp blade assembly.
Tips & Tricks
Food items should fit comfortably
•
inside the support cradle (3" dia. or
less). Never forcibly push items into
the support cradle or base. If the fit is
too snug, Wedgie can’t cut.
To help center items, try raising the
•
support cradle first, positioning the
item into it, then seating the support
cradle back into the base for cutting. You can also use the
point of the blades to keep slender or lopsided items in
place just before cutting.
Citrus (lemons, limes, small oranges): Indispensable at the
bar and for seafood! Cut the ends off first for easier wedging.
Tough citrus rinds may still take some strength to push through.
Caution: Do not look into Wedgie when wedging citrus, as
juice may squirt up into the eyes.
Onions: Peel to size and cut off top
and bottom ends off before wedging.
Sensational for shish kabob!
Potatoes: Choose small to medium-size
potatoes as they wedge more easily.
Terrific for steak fries!
Tomatoes: Remove the blossom end and any attached stem
before wedging. Fantastic for salads!
Squash (Cucumber, Zucchini): Trim ends, then cut the length
in half. Insert one tapered end into the support cradle. Use
the point of the blades to keep the half in place if necessary.
Excellent for crudité platters!
