The handguard managed to not completely smush our foods, unlike many other models in this batch. It was the best at julienning by far.Įase of use: The mandoline is easy to adjust, swap out blades, and clean. Carrots, cucumbers, and zucchini were also perfect matchsticks using this slicer. “My julienned onions and shallots were pristine,” Angela said. The platform is adjustable to four thickness settings, producing slices as thin as 1.2 millimeters and as thick as 7 millimeters, but there’s no indication of which width it’s set to on the slicer. Slicing: All of the V-blade models we evaluated, including the Börner, struggled with tomatoes, but this one aced everything else, including zucchini, onions, radishes, pears, and lemons. It has two julienne blades that safely tuck into a storage sheath, and a large, round handguard that holds food securely without mangling it. It’s large enough to slice an onion but not a large Italian eggplant. Out of the box: The intuitive-to-use Börner V5 mandoline measures 15 x 5.75 x 2 inches (the height is 3.75 inches including the blade storage) and the slicing platform measures 12 x 3.75 inches. It’s important to pay attention while using a mandoline, and if you forgo the handguard for any reason, wear cut-resistant gloves. They come with handguards that hold the food and protect your fingers, but with some, it can still be easy to slip and cut yourself. Some models let you adjust the height of the platform to control the slice thickness.Ī mandoline can be dangerous because the blade is quite large and very sharp. The slice will slip under the mandoline platform while the unsliced piece stays on top. To use a mandoline, slide a piece of produce down the mandoline’s platform and across the stationary blade. The type you get is more a matter of preference-and depends on the storage space you’ve got-and doesn’t indicate quality. Some have a kickstand that props up the mandoline on a counter or cutting board while others are handheld like paddles. Basic models only slice, while fancier ones also have attachments that julienne, dice, and waffle-cut. Users also gain peace of mind with safety features like a hand guard, blade protectors, and nonslip materials.Mandolines are sharp blades attached to a platform that thinly slices food.
