Mandoline Slicers

Hand-held and tabletop mandoline slicers for uniform vegetable cuts and thin slices.

Mandoline slicers produce uniform cuts faster than knife slicing, but they require hand protection because the blade is exposed and extremely sharp. A hand guard is included with most mandoline slicers and should always be used; cut-resistant gloves provide additional protection for the hand that holds food against the blade. A mandoline with adjustable thickness settings (0.5mm to 9mm) covers more tasks than a fixed-thickness model. A Japanese mandoline (Benriner) is thinner and lighter than a European-style mandoline but equally sharp. This section covers mandoline slicers by cut type, thickness range, blade material and the safety accessories included.
