The Robot Coupe 27138 is a genuine replacement coarse serrated blade made specifically for the R201 bowl food processor. Where a plain blade tends to compress or bruise firm, fibrous ingredients rather than cut through them cleanly, the serrated edge bites into the material and produces a more defined, consistent result. Typical applications include herb stalks, firmer root vegetables, and other produce with structural resistance that plain blades can struggle with.In a working kitchen, blade selection has a direct bearing on prep quality and batch consistency. Using the right blade for the task reduces tearing, improves uniformity across large volumes, and helps maintain the presentation standard expected going into service. If your R201 is in daily use, keeping a dedicated blade for fibrous work also reduces unnecessary wear on your primary cutting blade — a straightforward way to extend blade life across the set. Coarse serration suited to fibrous, firm, and structured produce Genuine Robot Coupe part — assured fit and performance on the R201 Produces cleaner, more consistent cuts than a plain blade on resistant ingredients Distributes prep tasks across the blade set, reducing wear on the primary blade Straightforward to fit, clean, and rotate into daily use It is worth noting that this blade is compatible with the R201 only.
