PREPWORKS JULIENNE & SLICER

Have you heard about mandoline fruit or vegetable slicers but still find them a bit daunting? Or are there only two things you'd really like to do with them, anyway: make nice, even round slices (perhaps of various thicknesses) of cucumbers or tomatoes, for example, or of potatoes for scalloped potatoes; or maybe make little julienne shaped spears of zucchini for a stir-fry or of carrots for a garnish? We've got just the thing. With Progressive's patented design, there aren't several sets of blades you have to switch back and forth or a bunch of confusing settings, there's just two knobs to call into play, and it's really easy to operate and clean.

Features:

- 3-1/2 inch wide slicing surface accommodates fairly large produce, like big potatoes.

- Sliding button in front of handle easily adjusts between thin, medium or thick thicknesses for slicing.

- Slide that button all the way down to lock blade for safe cleaning and storage.

- Angled blade provides more efficient food slicing.

- clear plastic safety holder protects your fingers while enabling you to see how much produce is left to slice

- Non-skid base and ridges keep the slicer stable on cutting surface and enable use over a bowl.

Dimensions : the top is about 9 inches long and 4-1/2 inches wide and a little over an inch deep, not including the 3-1/2 inch long handle – about the size of the top of a Kleenex box.

Materials : ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene: a thermoplastic polymer), POM (Polyoxymethylene: a rigid thermoplastic), PP (polypropylene), Stainless Steel and TPE (Thermoplastic elastomers).

PREPWORKS ZIP SLICER

Grapes and cherry tomatoes can be devilishly difficult and messy to slice. But this clever device makes that as easy as can be. It's a combination holding tube with an easy grip handle on its side and a removable 'guillotine' blade assembly which slides right through it. You just fill the 8-inch long, 1-1/4 inch diameter tube with whatever you want sliced (whether raw cherry tomatoes or grapes, or large pitted olives, or even wieners or smokies; fit the collar of the blade assembly onto it; pull it down (or across, if you hold the unit horizontally); then simply pour the sliced contents out, and you're done.
