The OXO Good Grips V-Blade Mandoline Slicer lets you slice veggies with adjustable thickness settings from 1.5mm to 6mm. This offers a good range for slicing different kinds of vegetables, whether they’re firm or soft. Plus, you can switch up your slicing with straight, crinkle, and julienne styles, which can make your dishes look pretty fancy!
The V-shaped stainless steel blade is really key here, handling everything from harder stuff like potatoes to softer items like tomatoes without much fuss. Just a heads-up, though: changing blades can be a bit tricky. Our research suggests there's a bit of a learning curve, so you might want to set aside some time to get used to it, even with the manufacturer's instructions.
Safety-wise, the slicer includes a food holder that helps keep your fingers safe, a feature many people find reassuring. Still, it's always best to be careful with sharp tools.
If space is a concern, there's built-in blade storage. Some people find this neat, but it does mean more cleaning since you'll need to tidy up all the blades, even when you’re not using them.
So, if you slice a lot of fruits and veggies, this could be a good helper despite a few reports of the plastic feeling a bit flimsy. Just be patient with learning to use it properly, and you'll likely find it a handy addition to your kitchen gear.
