Benriner's Mandoline Slicer creates wide slices, chunky cuts, and long narrow julienne strips that are equally sized to cook evenly. Create delicious, healthy entrees and side dishes, like stir frys, casseroles, or vegetarian recipes, and prepare healthy snacks or garnish, salad toppings, and so much more. Safe and easy to use. The safety guard securely holds smaller pieces to protect fingers. With 1 fixed straight-edge blade, 3 interchangeable blades, and an easy-turn adjustment dial, it's easy to make a variety of cuts at different thicknesses (from 0.5 to 8-millimeters) for any recipe. The straight-edge blade makes wider slices for chips, scalloped potatoes or thinly sliced onion.
