OXO Good Grips Handheld Mandoline Slicer | Adjustable Thickness Settings, Hand Guard Included, Slice Vegetables and Fruit, Easy-Clean Design, Non-Slip Grip

At this time of the year when I want to whip up a quick salad or salad roll for lunch I want to make cutting salad vegetables as quick and easy as I can. At this time of the year I normally opt for a V slicer however normally by the end of the season I'm throwing this away due to vegetables getting stuck in the V section. This year I decided to opt for a mandoline as I don't really use all the features of a V slicer anyway. The price is great and the product does what it says on the tin. The blade is obviously very sharp noticeable by the way it slices through veggies. So far I've used this to slice my leeks and dice my onion for my Lentil soup and slicing tomatoes/cucumber/lettuce and peppers for salad rolls. The Mandoline made short work of all these veggies although for the larger veggies I did have to chop them in half as the mandoline width is smaller than the normal V slicer but this didn't really bother me. There are three level of thickness to use, so far I've only used the biggest one which I think is a size you would have to take a bit of time to get with a knife (being a novice). Havent used this over a bowl to see how the ridges hold up but they are rubber and the blade cuts so easily I'm sure it will be fine. Its easy to clean, rinse under the tab and a scrub (careful now!) onto the draining board to dry and back in the drawer. The blades have a lock so you can't accidentally cut yourself while rooting around your drawer and the holder also clips onto the body of the slicer to keep them together. Don't think I'll buy another expensive V slicer again!

I literally lectured my husband about safety then cut my thumb on it myself 🙃 The reviews aren’t exaggerating- this thing is seriously sharp. But it makes slicing veg and fruit so fast and effortless, I still love it. Just don’t skip the hand guard!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I bought this mainly to prepare thinly and evenly sliced potatoes for making crisps in my deep fryer...I can do it with a sharp knife but not very evenly and it's tedious. Disappointingly, the cut with the slicer is not quite even either, with slices of potato thinner at the back of the cut and thicker at the front(first bit to be cut). The potato, cut in half, is not held firmly by the guard..there are just lots of small blunt plastic points a few mm deep which don't pierce the potato...they don't stop the potato from tipping over very slightly with each slice...the reason for the uneven cut mentioned above. The potato tips up at the back slightly(maybe 1mm) with each slice and believe it or not, by the end of slicing, the potato is at 90 degrees to the original cut with front cuts the correct width and rear cuts wafer thin. So the slices start off round but finish more like semi-circular, half the size. I tried a bread knife and pushed the teeth of the knife into the potato, but the same thing happened. Then I tried it by hand, making sure there was plenty of potato between my fingers and the blade. As long as I pressed down on the rear of the potato, keeping it level on the slicer, the slices came out round or oval with fairly even thickness. I used the guard for the last cuts. There is no need to cut the potato in half this way. I don't recommend holding the potato by hand to anyone else...risks a nasty cut to your fingers but it's the only way I can get even cuts. I can't think how else you would begin to cut cucumber or carrot. A protective kitchen glove would help make it safer. The 1mm setting produces paper thin slices that take only a minute to fry..they have to be dropped into the hot oil separately to avoid sticking together but it takes around a minute to drop them all in, so by the time the last ones are ready(another minute) the first ones are burnt. I prefer the widest 3mm cut which makes slices so much easier to handle, rinse and pat dry. They take about 3 minutes to fry to a crisp without getting too brown. I can't seem to get light golden crisps but my fryer is not temperature adjustable. As for other types of food the slicer made messy cuts of my bananas and is reported to do the same with tomatoes...much better to cut by hand, which is how I prefer to cut tomato, cucumber and carrot, not too thinly. I guess if you make a lot of cucumber sandwiches it would save time. For salads I prefer grated carrot.. In summary, for the purpose I bought it for it does work quite well and the price is very reasonable but when the novelty has worn off my homemade crisps it might hide away in a drawer. It is easy and quick to rinse and the blade safety setting for storage is a bonus.

I love Oxo Good Grips products for their quality and price, so when I wanted a good mandoline slicer, I chose Oxo for that too. I really only wanted a simple gadget mainly to slice potatoes thinly for dauphinoise potatoes, I was not disappointed. The slicer works well, giving uniform slices of potatoes, and now that I have got used to it, I will be using it for a lot more slicing jobs. The thickness of the slice is also very easy to adjust. However, the blade is SHARP (very sharp), so rather that just use the blade guard, I also used a mesh metal glove to ensure my fingertips remained intact. The scaredy cat in me didn't trust myself to wash it without cutting myself either, so into the dishwasher it went, and all was great. I love the mandoline slicer - I will get lots of use out of it, but I would suggest using the metal mesh glove. I know it will last me ages, and have no hesitation in recommending it as an essential kitchen tool.

Second time buying (for family member who liked mine) I have the same one that is probably 8 years old if bot older. Still sharp and works perfectly. Photos of the old one attached

Don't waste money on more expensive ones. These really do the job.

Razor sharp- needed more guidance & instructions on how to use it. Sliced cucumber & the top of my left thumb. Took three weeks to heal. Didn’t feel a thing. Want Ed information on how to grip cucumber. I will make some changes before I use it again.

Wow. I decided in my infinite wisdom that I needed a mandoline (after all, who doesn't?!). I actually just bought this for making ratatouille, which was amazing, and nicked my finger of the edge a tiny big (my own fault) - ouch! But was great to use and clean in the dishwaasher. The next day I decided to make a vegetarian lasagna, and therefore wanted to make long strips of courgette. Looking back I should have cut the courgette in half lengthways before subjecting it to my beginner mandoline culinary skills. I didn't, got distracted, didn't use the guard and whilst talking to my son, encountered the blade up and very personal with my thumb. Like love, the sting was sharp and the bleeding profuse - I held it above my my head which ran down my arm and freaked out my 6yr old who decided I needed an ambulance. I didn't, but boy the really thumb bleeds a lot! It looked like I had a crimson viper coiling it's way around and up/down my arm. Nothing seemed to help (and I had no steristrips), so I held it aloft, applied pressure til it was the calmest it could be and smeared it with superglue (my thumb not the mandoline). Eventually it healed/ stopped looking like I'd cut a major artery, and when everything was calm enough I removed the superglue (released the blood blister that had built up, steri-stripped the sides together (thank you husband) and glued the edges. Everything's good! Steri-Strips Skin Closures x 8 Loctite 0000602 Super Glue Tube - 3 g That is until I came to use it again today and found that at 5am my husband in his infinite wisdom, had decided to make toast with the mandoline on top - so it's now melted together. This was perfect for slicing, good guards, easy to use, dishwasher proof but not toaster/ husband proof! Need anoher one, and having looked at the others on the market, I don't see why I would need anything else but this one!

This mandolin has made cutting vegetables for my dehydrator such a breeze Pros: -the blade is very sharp and cut through the veggies fast and efficiently - the handle on the part that helps hold your veggies in place is very comfortable on your hands. It has little spikes on it so that your veggie can stay in place as you slice through it - I appreciate the visual illustration to determine the size of a cut you would like for your veggies, as opposed to a numerical value. It is easier to see exactly how thick I would like something instead of guessing what it would look like. - the thickest setting (as shown in the last photo) is just big enough. -the handle locks into place on the mandolin so you do not lose it while it is in storage Happy with this mandolin!

Terrible. The package was damaged when delivered. Someone has opened the original package and put a defective item back

Çok kullanışlı

I always hesitated to buy one of these things because I felt it's more hassle (cleaning, storing, making sure you don't cut yourself etc.) than benefits but now that I got one I wish I'd done so sooner! It cuts everything perfectly and in a matter of seconds, it's safe to use, and the food looks much nicer! I'm glad I read some reviews before choosing this brand, as it seems they were right and this object is perfectly reliable. I feel my cooking life would have benefitted (and been more fun!) if I'd added this sooner.

Good
