Bron Coucke

Welcome to our Bron Coucke boutique, a leading French manufacturer of professional kitchen mandolines and cutting tools. The story begins in the 1950s in Thonon-les-Bains, on the shore of Lake Geneva, when Jean Bron started producing all-steel manual vegetable slicers at the request of local chefs, replacing the wooden models then in use. In 1975, the workshop was taken over by André Coucke, giving the brand its current name and expanding its reach to more than 40 countries.

Choosing your Bron Coucke mandoline

What sets Bron Coucke mandolines apart on the market?

Bron Coucke popularised the professional all-stainless steel mandoline format: a rigid chassis, an adjustable main blade and removable combs for julienne and brunoise cuts. This construction withstands intensive use in restaurant kitchens, where mass-market plastic mandolines quickly wear out. Parts can be replaced individually, extending the appliance's life by several years.

What is the difference between the Classique and the Benriner?

The Bron Coucke Classique is the French professional tool: large, stable, all-stainless steel, designed for high volumes and varied cuts (slices, julienne, waffle, brunoise). The Benriner, of Japanese origin and distributed by Bron Coucke, is more compact and lighter, particularly suited to thin slices and precise techniques (sushi, Asian garnishes).

Which Bron Coucke model suits regular home use?

For home use, the Benriner or a mid-size Classique mandoline offer an excellent balance: professional-grade stainless steel blades, compact storage and easy cleaning. Fully dismountable models are ideal for cooking enthusiasts looking for a long-lasting tool rather than a disposable mandoline.

How do I maintain a Bron Coucke mandoline?

All-stainless Bron Coucke mandolines should be cleaned in hot soapy water immediately after use, with the blades removed. Careful drying prevents marks; the stainless steel used does not rust under normal conditions. Replacement combs and blades are sold separately, which means the tool can be maintained without being replaced.
