Oxo mandoline slicer
It’s also super helpful for batch cooking and prep too we were camping and didn’t have a food processor but I shredded enough potatoes for hash browns for 30 people in just minutes, and with a quick rinse and switch of blades, sliced onions and peppers for omelettes before they even had all the eggs cracked. With the V-Blade Mandoline Slicer you can easily and perfectly slice or julienne fruits and veggies. I’ve never seen a mandoline that could do tomatoes! I’m so impressed! The different adjustments and “V” shape of the blades make short, effortless work of cabbage for cole-slaw, carrots for my bahn-mi sandwich, a huge batch of cucumbers for pickling, and even tomatoes sliced smoothly for burgers. I highly recommend this for anyone who needs to prep crispy, crunchy veggies quickly.
Fool-proof!Įven with my wobbly old artheritic grip, I’ve never cut myself or worried about the blades, etc. I’m just SO impressed with the ease of use, versatility and durability of this OXO mandoline!įor the mandoline-hesitant, I have two bits of advice, ALWAYS use the cutting guard/handle (obviously) and if you’re still feeling intimidated, pick up a “Cut-Proof” Kitchen Glove for just a few bucks. The previous mandoline I had wasn’t as versatile or easy to use. I just “upgraded” to this new OXO V-blade mandoline, and I have to tell you - it has totally revolutionized how I cook and prep in the kitchen!

But several years ago I discovered using a mandoline makes things so much easier!
Versatile, easy to use, GREAT value! Let me start off by saying I LOVE mandolines! I have artheritis in my hands and gripping a knife isn’t always easy, so I’ve avoided a lot of recipes because slicing and jullienning are difficult. The only suggestion I'd have is to add the iconic "Good Grips" rubber to the top of the food holder. It's faster than a knife and it's clean up, because the blades just pop out, is just as easy! I use it my mandoline for vegetable prep for dishes, to make salads, French fries and garnishes. My old mandoline required me to change the blades to achieve different thicknesses, but this one allows you to alternate between four different thicknesses with a turn of a knob, which is a huge upgrade! I also love the built in storage for the other blades (there are four options, making it a versatile tool), to ensure they stay as safe from damage as the cook does! Simple and Safe! Like all OXO cutting equipment, including their knives, these blades are sharp, but the grips on the mandoline legs help to keep it from slipping, even when things get wet and the food holder is just as wide as the cutting board section, ensuring an accidental slip won't result in an injury.
