Editorial Review: Product Description: 4 Piece, Plastic & Stainless Steel, Multi Slicer, Thick Or Thin Slice & Thick Or Thin Julienne, Includes Slicer, Finger Guard & Four Slicing Options, White & Green. Amazon.com Review: As a low-cost alternative to a metal professional-grade mandoline, this versatile tool will appeal to novice cooks bent on creating uniform fruit and vegetable slices for salads, pies, tarts, and garnishes. Snap four different plates in and out of the tool to quickly produce thin (but not paper-thin), medium, and thick slices; grate coarsely or finely; julienne; and make shoestring-size french fries.

Rating:  - Works well for the priceAgain, you get what you pay for. My middle finger is still healing from a nasty cut. I have never used a mandolin before but the ones I see chefs using are much nicer with a chute device to hold the veggie so you NEVER have to nick your finger. It works good enough for what I need it for though. Rating: - The Happy Slicer...I love this item.I've only used It a couple time so far.It did a nice job shredding cabbage for coleslaw and slicing onions for burgers.It's a fun item to use. |
