I have purchased many mandolines in my time, all with utter disappointment, all shoved to some distant corner in my kitchen. The fault, predominately mine. I simply refused to pay the pretty penny that this tool tends to solicit. Instead always opting for some cheapo $20 or less model, that couldn't slice it's way out of a paper bag.
Then, I stumbled upon the Börner! Priced under $50 bucks, with glowing reviews, I was lured in once again by the call of paper thin slicing. This time, I was not disappointed! It slices, it dices, it juliennes, shreds & cubes with trivial effort - thanks to the three different blade attachments. Any size pieces your heart desires, with the push-button, 4 blade thickness setting. I love how easy it is to change out the blades and adjust the thickness. I love the ease in which this baby slices - super sharp. I love the rubber feet that prevent sliding and how all the pieces fit together for convenient, compact storage. I love even more, the quick, easy clean-up!
I have been busily slicing fine potato slices for potato chips, sweet potato chips, lime potato chips, scalloped potatoes & larger pieces for French Fries. But this gadget can handle a lot more than just potatoes; any veggie that needs cut down to size is no match for the Börner Mandoline!
If your knife skills aren't what you'd liked them to be, give this mandoline a chance, you won't be disappointed.
I only wish it came in fuchsia....sigh.
Check it out!
