Three things to consider before buying a mandolin
Most mandolines offer the user the ability to adjust the thickness of the slices, which is helpful depending on the foods you're cutting, and what you'll be using these foods for.
There are also mandoline models that have a shredding disc, allowing you to also shred vegetables and other foodstuff. On the market today, there are models with everything from 2–3 up to twenty or more settings, for those who really want to vary their cooking.
-
Finger protection: A mandatory safety feature is that the mandoline has finger protection to protect your hands from the razor-sharp blades.
-
Rubber soles: With the help of rubber soles, the mandoline remains more stable on the worktop and does not slip.
-
Stability: The mandoline should feel sturdy and stable in its design to make it easy and safer to use.
-
Sharp blades: The risk of using dull blade is that you need to use more strength to do the job, which becomes a safety risk. So choose a model with really sharp blades.
If you only want to cut a few vegetables at a time, a hand-held mandoline is easy to use. If we compare it to a mandoline on a stand, the handheld models often take up less space. Standing mandolines are great for cutting lots of vegetables or root vegetables at the same time. It is also a good option for older people, or for those who don't have that much strength in their hands.
