This Mandolines & Slicers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Big Disappointment
I purchased this OXO Steel Chef's Mandoline Slicer after reading the reviews - and ignoring the negative ones. OXO makes great products so I thought the negative reviews must be incorrect BUT they are right on. First I noticed the main slicing blade had 6 or 7 nicks on it after slicing potatoes and yams just four times. OXO does not sell a replacement for this important blade. Next I tried the julienne blades. What a joke. I managed to julienne a turnip but the yellow pepper was beyond its capabilities. In addition, while I was trying to do this, the food holder fell apart in my hand. My husband reassembled it and set it on the counter where it fell apart again just sitting there. While this mandoline looks nice it is cheaply made, especially the important parts - the cutting blades. I returned this product, and I hope I get a refund.
2. Smooth Slicer
I just started using my new Chef's Steel OXO Mandoline Slicer for Thanksgiving preparation. First of all the packaging of this product is not only beautiful but also a useful box to store the slicer in. The pictures and key inside of the food sliced in varieties of ways is easy to follow and gives the cook great ideas. My kids are now eating radishes that were sliced using the crinkle slicer. I think all slicers take some practice to use, but I was able to fit 2 large radishes side by side on the food holder and slice away. The holder moves smoothly over the slicer and you can cut quite quickly. And I wanted to try cutting a potato in a waffle cut and I did it!! After one potato I really had the method down and couldn't wait for some salt and vinegar. I am excited to see what else I can make on my Mandoline. Great for soups and it really makes the food look pretty with a pleasing texture on the tongue. I found the slicers to be very sharp without too much elbow grease needed. Happy...
Need more appointment... ?
Company slipped on this one
I am scared to death of mandolins. My fingers go into a ball when I even see one on the shelf. With the Kim Chee and sauerkraut I've been making I needed to break out of my shell and buy one. This on the surface was a wonderful design. I was so excited and felt safe just having it in my kitchen. All sharp blades pull in and out of the base so what is left is the base and some free standing blades. So much easier. Wish the product was as good as the design. The blade is non sharping so it won't last and the carrots I put through the julianne slicer wouldn't pass through. Too dull? I got half the carrot through the machine and then the fingers of the guard just sliced grooves through the carrot leaving me without the ability to make the pass unless I used my hand. Not why I bought this machine. I'm on the hunt for a SHARP one that makes me feel safe. I returned it.
