We Put 12 Mandolines to the Test and Found a Surprising Winner There are great mandolines out there, but most are more dangerous to use than they are effective. Our winner? It's both safe and easy to use. Finally back in stock after selling out in days, order the de Buyer Traditional Mandoline before it's gone again. | | | | |
Dear Milk Streeter, Unless you have the knife skills of a highly skilled chef, it's next to impossible to produce uniformly paper-thin sliced vegetables. Enter mandolines. However, most of the hand-slicers on the market are terrible: From parts that are hard and dangerous to clean to slicers that are too small to use, most models just don't hold up. The alternative? Free-standing mandolines, a classic French style that is well respected by chefs but tends to be on the pricier side. To see if free-standing models lived up to the hype and (the price tag), we put the 12 most popular styles to the test.Frankly, the de Buyer Traditional Mandoline pretty much destroyed the competition thanks to the removable blade coupled with the sturdy all-metal construction and classic design. It checks all the boxes. This version stands high off of the work surface with fold-down feet at both the front and back of the device to make it easy to use. Strangely, it comes with a serrated blade, but it does a good job, and the removable blades are easier and safer to clean—so you can either sharpen or replace the blades individually. The solid stainless construction is hard to beat, and you certainly get what you pay for. | | —Rebecca Richmond, eCommerce Culinary Manager | | | | |
While testing all the mandolines, it became clear that having a removable blade was a huge advantage. Without a sharp blade, a slicer is useless. Having a blade that can be removed for cleaning, storage, sharpening or replacement is essential, not only for ability to slice, but also because safety is a huge concern with most mandolines.
To test the mandolines, I graded them on overall appearance, design and materials. I used tomatoes and potatoes to assess comfort of use, quality of build (removable blades? plastic material?), safety features, ease of cleaning, slicing capability (delicate foods vs hard vegetables), additional accessories and adjustability. | | This freestanding mandoline slicer by the French cookware experts at de Buyer beat out all other models in testing for its superior slicing and safe, durable design. Constructed from solid stainless steel with non-slip feet to keep everything in place, this raised tool features multiple removable blades with options for julienne, waffle, slice and crinkle cuts. The ergonomic pusher and included finger guard add an extra level of safety while slicing. Ideal for cutting, shredding, dicing, cubing and so much more, use it for precise prep with vegetables and fruit of any kind, then simply fold the stand down for easy storage. You'll especially love it for french fries. | | | | |
