About this deal

The ability to adjust the thickness of a fruit or vegetable is an important aspect of the cooking process, as well as a dish’s presentation. Bron Coucke Original Stainless Steel Classic Chef's Mandoline: This former splurge pick was so cumbersome to use that our tester gave up for fear of breaking the mandoline. Given how well the guards worked on so many of the other slicers I tested, this really seems like something Benriner could fix.

The cutting surface is made of glassl which helps food move smoothly as you push it down through the blade.Nicole (she/her) is the director of the Good Housekeeping Institute's Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, where she has overseen content and testing related to kitchen and cooking appliances, tools and gear since 2019. The stainless-steel blade and runway are housed in a black plastic casing that has a large handle and a leg that unfolds, stabilizing the mandoline while you’re working. From the easiest for beginners to what the professionals use, here are our recommendations for the best mandoline slicers.

The body has a finger hole positioned away from the sharp side of the blade, designed to help you safely remove and replace the blades. Product Details: Style: Standing | Thickness Settings: Four | Blade Style: V-Shaped | Dimensions: 15. The chute does limit the size of what you can slice (we had to cut a potato in half to fit into it), but it sliced cleanly and efficiently at all thicknesses. The thinnest setting yielded uneven results during testing, but as we went up in thickness, this mandoline performed more consistently.The only extra piece included is a plastic safety guard, which has spikes long enough to firmly grip most fruits and vegetables.

We did find that the julienne setting isn’t adjustable, so there is really the only option of making thin-cut, shoestring fries. When hand washing this tool, you may need to spend extra time with this tool to be sure it is clean.After testing multiple products, we would recommend the Dash Safe Slice Mandoline to anyone who is intimidated by mandoline slicers. It's a jack of all trades, making it easy for home cooks to dice up onions, shred cheese, chop french fries and of course, slice perfectly thin veggies with the mandoline attachment.

On most, you can adjust the distance between the runway and the blade so you can get slices of varying thicknesses according to your preference or what you are preparing. Ceramic blades can’t be sharpened with traditional household knife sharpeners, but these blades are much stronger than stainless steel blades, and their toughness reduces (or even eliminates) any need for maintenance. Vegetable slicers get pretty heavy use in restaurant kitchens, where they're helpful for very quickly creating uniform slices, such as vegetables for salads, potatoes for chips, as well as some specialty cuts like gaufrettes (waffle-cut chips), and sticks for things like French fries. At the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we test thousands of products each year including hundreds of kitchen gear items from electric knives to non-stick cookware to air fryers.Thickness indicator: Some mandoline slicers let you easily dial or select settings that indicate exactly how thin or thick your slices will be, which is key for following recipes and consistent cook times. We also found that this mandoline was easy to clean because of its compact size, and it didn’t have to be disassembled like other options we tested. Mandolines can be scary—nothing keeps you on your toes like the ever-present threat of slicing the ends off your fingers—but the tradeoff is their unparalleled speed and consistency.
