Gramercy Mandoline Food Slicer With 12 Slice Settings, LITE Edition | Vegetable Cutter, Potato Slicer, Mandolin for Kitchen, Veggie Cutter, Cucumber Tool - Comes a Pair of Cut-Resistant Gloves

Ever read some reviews and wonder if people are reviewing the item you're looking at and if they read the manual? Forget about the reviews that say it leaves black plastic bits in their food. There's an arrow showing how to face the food spear/holder. That plastic is from them using it exactly 180 degrees off the way it is designed to work. Doesn't save time? I guess if you have almost Gordon Ramsay knife skills, sure. I don't. This thing is sharp. It cuts clean and fast. Need consistent cuts? Near perfect. For dehydrating foods, this assures every piece is dried to the same degree. A knife pro may be able to cut single slices faster, but twist the lower blade to julienne or to french fries and this mandoline will absolutely smoke them. If there's large quantities of cutting to be done, I'll use this hands down (but fingers UP! It's seriously sharp. Missing finger sharp). Clean up may take longer than washing a knife but the stainless steel cleans easily and with the included brush, getting between the lower blades is easy. While this is fun to try "fancy" foods, the food holder spikes do not allow for full cutting of your food. Once you get down to what could be the last slice, the holder slips off the food and won't cut it. The tolerances are just too tight. I dislike wasting food. I won't even suggest how I work around it, because it's dangerous and stupid. Just know there will be some waste unless you get a knife out to not have any waste. After 3 years this is still better than razor sharp on the original blades and going strong. I've had zero problems with its functionality. I'd like to add 2 things: 1) Be careful how you store and pick this up. Even with the blade guard on the flat blade, the wavy blade is still exposed underneath and out of sight. Grabbing it from the business end could lead to injury. I cut myself not once, but twice immediately after the first cut reaching inside the drawer to get it out. Why? Because the initial cut was so sharp, the pain didn't register until I had already used the other hand (thinking the first was a pinch and a fluke) to try to grab it again. Always store this where the handle is what you reach for. 2) The description says it will cut waffle fries. No and sort of. If you imagine the perfect waffle fry or search for images, this will not do that. If it can, I have yet to figure out how. What I get is a very thin version of a waffle fry so technically it's possible. The key is pressure. After the first cut, you turn the food 180 degrees and press SLIGHTLY to achieve the waffle holes you're looking for. It took practice. If you just want waffles without the holes it's easily done at any thickness. But is that really a waffle fry? The depth of the "crinkle cut" blade just isn't deep enough to make them efficiently.

This is a great mandolin! You can slice from paper thin to 9mm very easily and quickly. I tried making matchstick carrots, but that didn't turn out well and it made a mess. This is excellent for making eggplant rollatini, zucchini rollatini, sliced carrots, etc. I like that you don't need to store various blades. The blades are self-contained and you dial in the one you need. Gloves are a nice addition and an additional layer of safety.

OMG, this device is a kitchen game changer! I've always had good experiences with the Gramercy brand. Their quality is excellent, and it's German made from durable, high-quality metal. I've owned it for about two weeks now and have used it on apples, carrots, potatoes, ham, and a whole host of other fruits and vegetables. It has performed exceptionally well every single time. It arrived very well packaged and even included a pair of protective gloves—a nice touch! It has a removable blade protector, the blades are easy to change, and the cutting thickness is simple to adjust. Of course, it slices beautifully, (duh!) but it also juliennes, which is perfect for recipes that call for matchstick vegetables or fruits, especially Asian dishes. I recently used it to slice ham for canapés, and it produced perfectly thin, even slices. One feature I especially appreciate is the large food holder that covers the mandolin from side to side, so there's no exposed blade while you're slicing. It has retractable spikes that securely grip the food, which is a huge help since I have psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and my grip isn't what it used to be. Both sides of the mandolin have slightly raised safety edges to help prevent your hand from slipping toward the blade. (Ouch!) The adjustment knob for selecting the cutting style and thickness is easy to read and use. When you're finished, it folds flat for compact storage, and cleanup is a literal breeze. You can either hand wash (this protects the sharpness of the blades) or drop it in your dishwasher. This has truly been a game changer for me on two levels: It has cut my kitchen prep time down to just minutes., and it allows me to prep without asking family member for help. If you're on the fence, I'd definitely recommend giving Gramercy a try. They make high-quality, European-made products that are built to last.

So sharp and easy to use. I have used my new Gramercy Mandoline to slice apples for a galette and carrots for a salad. It creates perfect, uniformly slices allowing me to regulate the thickness much easier than using a knife. It is sturdy and I look forward to years of use.

This was an awesome tool! We make homemade potatoe chips and waffle fries with it! It is easy to clean and warning, it is sharp. Functions well and easy to use. it decreased our potato processing time from 4 minutes to a potato, to 4 potatos in 1 minute!

It works as expected. It feels stable, it's quite large, but it also folds up so you can store it in a drawer. I appreciate that it comes with the blade over to prevent accidents, along with gloves and one of those produce gripper things. Slices evenly and quickly. I didn't have any problems cleaning it or using it.

I used this a few times since getting it. I works as well as I could have expected. It cuts onions very thin. Perfect for smash burgers!

I've had mandolins before but never one this heavy-duty or easy to use. There was nothing to put together, keeps everything contained so there isn't a huge mess when I'm using it, and works so incredibly well that food just FLIES regardless of your size setting. And on top of it all, I throw it in the dishwasher without any issues! Last word of advice, it comes with a guard and some safety gloves. I strongly recommend using those to protect your hands/fingers. Happy cooking!

The blades aren't as sharp as it needs to be to ensure smooth cutting operations. Also it leaves our a significant bit towards the end that there is no way of cutting. Creates either a lot of waste or makes it time consuming the cut the last bit or dangerous of you try to do it by hand without the guide.

Oggetto molto utile, tagli precisi e facilitā di utilizzo

Love how veggies get sliced like it's butter, those gloves are handy as well for protection.
