Mandolin Food Choppers

Kitchen Mandoline Slicers

In order to shine in the kitchen, a chef needs a bevy of kitchen peelers and slicers. It is their secret weapon in creating delicious dishes in seemingly no time at all. Kitchen mandolines, in particular, allow you to cut vegetables in paper thin slices relatively quickly. You can use them on zucchini, onion, potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables for tempting stir-fry, salads and stews.

Kitchen mandolines are more than just vegetable peelers. They assist you to slice and chop quickly and help avoid cuts and scrapes thanks to aid of a well-placed safety guard. They allow you to prepare restaurant quality dishes in your own home and will cut more precisely than a standard food processor. On top of the consistency they provide to your dishes, they can reduce your kitchen prep time by up to 50 per cent. And thanks to the numerous blades which come with a mandoline, you can julienne, slice or spirulise to your heart’s content.

Scalloped potatoes can be done in a breeze with the assistance of a mandoline. You can reduce the preparation time on your vegetable chips, coleslaw and zoodles. Your vegetable au gratin, apple pie and ratatouille will be sliced to perfection and all thanks to your mandoline. And while your dish is cooking, many of the designs available are even dishwasher proof, saving time on the cleanup process as well.

Plastic kitchen mandoline slicers offer great value for the price. They can shred and slice just as well as many of the larger and more expensive kitchen mandoline slicers on the market and for most home kitchens, will do the trick nicely. They are easy to use and, most importantly, fairly effortless to maintain.

Stainless steel mandoline slicers are a common utensil for cooks who prepare dishes with a lot of vegetables. Plastic mandolines will generally have a stainless steel blade for easy cutting and long-lasting effectiveness. It is the ideal utensil for vegans, vegetarians and even meat eaters to help spice up the dishes and add culinary colour into everything you serve.
