A mandoline slicer with a sharp V-blade and four thickness settings. Includes both straight and wavy blades.

The non-slip base provides stability and the food holder protects your fingers while ensuring uniform slicing. Folds flat for storage.

Usage

Place the mandoline on a cutting board or over a bowl. Adjust to desired thickness and run food across the blade using the food holder. Apply steady, even pressure. Always use the food holder to protect your fingers - the blade is very sharp.

Cleaning

Disassemble for dishwasher cleaning. Handle the V-blade carefully during cleaning - it’s extremely sharp. For stubborn residue, soak briefly in warm soapy water. Always use the blade guard when not in use.
