Vegetables shudder at the mention of German made Börner Mandolines. The V shaped design makes slicing produce a breeze, and the reversable design allows for three cutting thicknesses - 2mm, 4mm and 5.5mm, and two cutting inserts (3.5mm and 7mm) for thick and thin julienne strips or macédoine cubes. Included is a storage box and a hand 'safety hat/food grip' - we'd recommend using this every time, even for the most experienced cook.
