Hoffritz Stainless-Steel Mandoline Slicer Review

I really think Hoffritz is missing the boat by not selling this slicer in an infomercial. This is one kitchen gadget that really works. One feature that sets it apart is the stainless steel bowl that the slicer portion sits on. It is high quality and nearly worth the price of the slicer by itself. The rubber feet on the bottom of the bowl are effective in their designed use to prevent the bowl from wandering on the countertop as one uses the slicer on top of it. A feature that the Amazon description did not mention is the rack which holds all the blades, protecting both one's fingers and the blades. I get perfectly uniform slices of carrots and zuchini and potatoes with ease and the food holder even rides on a pair of rails on top so it can not slip off. A surprising aspect of using this slicer is that it actually makes food go further because once you see the pile of slices you can get from , for example, just one carrot , you may decide you don't want to use two. If you do slice more than you need which is easy to do because it is almost fun, the handy plastic cover snaps onto the bowl and will protect the contents well in the fridge. Hoffritz has been reknowned for fine quality blades for many years and the slicer is blessed with durable and sharp ones. Most of all this thing just oozes quality and is very satisfying and efficient to use. Factor in the time savings and how easy it is to clean , just a quick rinse usually does it although the whole thing is diswasher safe and you have great addition to any kitchen.

Swissmar Borner V-Slicer Pro Mandoline V-4000, 7-Piece Set Review

I received this as a Christmas gift --one of the best I've ever enjoyed! It is easier, faster and less hassle than my food processor. The first day I got it I used it to slice potatoes for scalloped potatoes and oh my gosh how easy. I find I grab it and go to much more than my electric gadgets (and I admit, I love gadgets...) It's a necessity for what I need lots of--onions (is there a good recipe that does not include onions???) peppers, tomatoes, apples, fennel, etc....it's a wonder on hard fruits and veggies. The clean up is quick, the hand-guard/pusher is easy and actually works, (I've even used this thing with celery!) and the attachments fit and store very well in the rack that's included. (And very safely)
My only complaint is that the plastic seems to stain with carrot or tomato. In the big scheme of things....no biggie.
I love this thing!

An inexpensive alternative to a professional stainless-steel mandoline, the Swissmar Borner V-Slicer Pro makes it possible to quickly, uniformly, and safely slice and julienne vegetables and fruits. It also shreds cabbage and neatly dices potatoes, tomatoes, and onions. This 7-piece set includes a tough ABS plastic frame, food safety holder, 3 blade inserts, rocket insert holder, and holder base.
For safety, a holder firmly grips food with stainless-steel prongs so fingers are protected from the German surgical-steel blades, and the three inserts accompanying the device lock in position. The inserts act as a guide for slicing against the V-frame's knife that reverses to create slices either 1/4-inch or 1/8-inch thick. It also comes with a thick/thin slice insert that has a "0" position for safe/protected storage. You can perform 9 different cuts with the 3 inserts, including cube, slice, shred and julienne. The rocket insert holder safely stores the two inserts with blades while not in use, and it also functions as a drying rack. Rinse under hot or cold running water immediately after use.

Börner Thin Julienne Vegetable Shredder Review

Börner Thin Julienne Vegetable Shredder
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The product description states: "Features finger grips and non-skid feet."
The safety grip shown in the illustration does NOT come with the shredder and must be purchased separately. Nor is there any other finger grip. The shredder does NOT have non-slip feet. I was not happy about these discrepancies. It does cut a nice julienne. I kept it, but it is dangerous to use without some sort of hand grip. So I ended up paying an extra $7 for the hand grip. Not happy, not pleased with this brand, and will replace this product as soon as Kuhn Rikon comes out with something comparable.

Progressive International HGT-11 Folding Mandoline Slicer Review

Heard about this mandoline from a guy who makes salad frequently. This is ideal. Exceptionally easy to clean, quick to handwash, or pop it in the dishwasher. Offers a good variety of slice thicknesses, plus juliennes; changeout is quick and easy. Storage box is a definite plus. Excellent value for the price. The best part? The blade is really sharp. The worst part? Yeah, the blade is really, really sharp. I find the holder is too awkward to use and actually sliced myself once in the first week because it went so much faster than I expected. Best way to get a stir fry or fajitas done and on the table in top speed, though.
