Slice cucumbers or julienne carrots with this versatile mandolin from the original mandolin manufacturer--Ambrunn Bron. It’s the perfect tool for cutting vegetables, cheese, and meat, plus is great for slicing hard fruits, such as apples and pears. With a multitude of slicing options, it’s easy to choose the most appropriate cutting method for a particular recipe--whether it calls for waffle fries, paper-thin sliced Gruyere, or grated zucchini. The mandolin is stainless steel and has three different blades--eliminating the need to swap blades or use multiple knifes. A straight blade assists with simple slicing tasks, while both large and small julienne blades cut carrot sticks and shoestring potatoes. Hand-operated levers help control the slicing thickness, with a 1/2-inch maximum thickness. The slope of mandolin is ergonomically-designed for comfort, while a plastic safety guard protects hands from harm. The mandolin folds flat in sturdy casing for safe storage. For best results, wash this kitchen tool by hand. The mandolin measures 12 by 5 by 2 inches and weighs five pounds. This product was made in France, and is covered by a limited, one-year warranty. --Jessica Reuling.../ Bron Original Stainless Steel Mandolin Slicer / Kitchen Gadget
