- What can it cut?
- Firm vegetables and fruit: carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, potatoes, onions, cabbage and apples. The five blades give thin slices, thicker slices and several julienne widths. Soft items like ripe tomatoes tend to squash.
- Is it safer than a flat mandoline?
- Generally yes. The upright chute holds the food and keeps your hand above and behind the blade, and the food drops into the container instead of onto the counter. Use the chute and never push food through with your fingers.
- How do I clean it?
- Rinse the frame and container under running water and use the included brush to clear food from the blade slots. The blades are stainless steel; dry them promptly. Check the maker's instructions before putting any part in a dishwasher.
- Does it need assembly or power?
- No power and no real assembly. You set the frame on the container, click in the blade you want and push the food down the chute. Nothing to plug in or charge.
- How does it compare with a food processor?
- It is quieter, simpler to clean and takes up less space, and it gives consistent julienne cuts. A food processor is faster for big batches and handles soft or cooked food better.
- What comes in the set?
- The slicer frame, a clear food chute, a collection container, five interchangeable blades and a small cleaning brush.
- Where is the Multifunctional Mandoline Slicer with 5 Blades cheapest?
- At Deal.ai, for $60.99, as of our latest check.
