Julienne, matchbox and dicing are common techniques used in recipes but can require knife skills that are steady and diligent. A mandoline is an at home chef’s savior when it comes to a safe, easy, and fast way to slice and dice.
For anyone who would rather risk making their meal too fast than cutting themselves with a sharp knife, the MuellerLiving Mandoline Slicer has “five ultra-sharp blades” and an easy-to-use dial to adjust how thick you want your slice (Amazon). This sharp and efficient mandoline is set at a budget friendly price $49.99 and has a 4.4 out of 5-star rating on Amazon.
From personal experience, I can also give this slicer a great review. It comes with a “food holder” that secures fruits and vegetables on stainless steel prongs to keep your fingers away from the ultra-sharp blades (Amazon). As much as I love the fear of nicking myself with a chef’s knife, using this MuellerLiving Mandoline Slicer not only kept my Band-Aids in the cupboard but it sliced minutes off my prep work!
A downside to this slicer is that you need to have a plate or some kind of dish underneath it to catch what is being sliced. This can cause the mandoline to sit at a weird angle or cause a bit of a mess. This is a small price to pay for such an efficient way to get the cutting results of a professional!
A mandoline is an essential addition to any at home chef’s kitchen and allows them to slice and dice with the ease of a professional chef! Chef it up!
