What Zyliss makes
Zyliss is a Swiss kitchen tool brand established in 1948, focused on ergonomic, mechanical kitchen aids that reduce repetitive strain in busy kitchens. The HC range carries the full Easy Pull food processor and chopper line, Easy Spin and Swift Dry salad spinners, the iconic Lock'n Lift can opener, and the UltimatePro PFAS-free ceramic-coated pan range. The brand sits in the sweet spot between domestic durability and light commercial use — popular in cafés, ghost kitchens, and small-volume restaurants.
Where it's used
In Australian hospitality, Zyliss appears most in cafés running tight prep lines, ghost kitchens with limited space for full-size commercial equipment, and small-batch food producers. The Easy Pull processor handles small chopping and emulsion jobs without committing to a Robot Coupe; the salad spinners cover lettuce, herbs, and washed-leaf prep at café scale; the Lock'n Lift can opener is a low-fatigue choice for kitchens opening 50+ cans per shift. The UltimatePro frypans are used in small restaurants where induction-compatible non-stick is needed but PFAS-free is a brand requirement.
Range highlights
- Easy Pull food processor (14649): manual pull-cord chopper for small-batch onion, garlic, herb work — no power required.
- Drum graters and Julienne drum: interchangeable drum-style graters for cheese, vegetable, and fine-grate work.
- Salad spinners (Easy Spin, Swift Dry): small (3 L) and large (5 L+) sizes, in stainless and polycarbonate.
- Lock'n Lift can opener (1364): safety-edge cut, lid-lift mechanism, low-fatigue handle for high-volume use.
- UltimatePro PFAS-free pans: 20, 24, and 28 cm frypans, 26 cm sq grill pan, 28 cm saute with lid — induction compatible.
- Hand tools: zesters, mashers, mixing spoons, spatulas — Zyliss's traditional strength in ergonomic handheld design.
Working with our team
Hospitality Connect's catalogue depth in this category reflects 21+ years of supplying Australian commercial venues — single-supplier convenience across appliances, smallware, and consumables means fewer purchase orders, consolidated freight, and consistent specification advice from a team that's seen most operational scenarios before.
Specification matters more than buyers expect — undersized or oversized purchases waste both capital and operating cost. Our trade team spec'd thousands of fitouts across cafés, restaurants, hotels, function venues, and contract kitchens, and we'll match recommendations to your venue brief rather than push the catalogue.
Trade-pricing scales by volume and consolidates with other warehouse picks — refit a full section without minimum-order surprises. Stock turns fast through our Melbourne warehouse on the most-used lines, and items not currently on the shelf typically arrive within 1–2 weeks via direct manufacturer relationships.
