Prep & Tools Five thicknesses and a guard you will actually use A mandoline that goes from paper-thin to 8 mm with a dial, and comes with a hand guard that grips the food properly rather than sliding off it. Five thicknesses 1 to 8 mm on a dial, no swapping plates. Guard that grips Spiked holder that actually holds an onion, not a smooth cup that slips. Japanese steel blade Sharp enough that you push rather than force, which is the safe way. Folds flat Legs fold, blade locks, slides into a drawer. 01 — The safety Say it plainly Mandolines send people to hospital. The guard is not optional and this one is designed so you keep using it — spikes that hold, and a handle above your knuckles. 02 — The dial Why not swappable plates Plates get lost and you end up with one thickness. A dial means the adjustment happens in a second, so you actually vary it. 03 — The result Even is the point Uniform slices cook at the same rate. That is the whole reason for a gratin to work or crisps to brown evenly.
