Slicers, Spiralisers & Mandolines

Discover Precision in Your Kitchen with Professional Quality Mandoline Slicers

Mandoline slicers offer a quick and efficient way to achieve uniform slices of fruits, vegetables, and more, making them essential for any aspiring chef. At Harris Scarfe, we offer a diverse range of mandoline slicers, including professional-grade options and adjustable mandoline slicers. A mandoline slicer is a kitchen tool consisting of a flat, angled platform with a sharp blade attached. It allows for precise slicing of fruits, vegetables, and other ingredients with minimal effort. Mandoline slicers typically feature adjustable thickness settings, allowing users to achieve their desired slice thickness with ease.

How to Use a Mandoline Slicer:

1. Set Up: Begin by selecting the desired thickness setting on the mandoline slicer. Ensure that the slicer is securely placed on a stable surface like a chopping board to prevent slipping during use.
2. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and dry the fruits or vegetables you intend to slice. Trim any ends or irregularities to ensure a uniform slicing experience.
3. Safety Precautions: To prevent injury, consider wearing a cut-resistant glove on the hand that will guide the produce across the slicer. Additionally, use the safety guard provided with the mandoline slicer to protect your fingers from the sharp blade.
4. Slice: Hold the product securely with the hand wearing the cut-resistant glove and use a smooth, steady motion to slide it across the blade of the mandoline slicer. Exercise caution and maintain a consistent pace to achieve uniform slices.
5. Repeat: Continue slicing the remaining produce, adjusting the thickness setting on the mandoline slicer as needed to achieve different slice thicknesses.

Is a mandoline slicer worth it?

A mandoline slicer can be a valuable investment, offering precision slicing and saving time in the kitchen. Its versatility and ability to achieve uniform slices make it a worthwhile addition to any kitchen arsenal.

Is a mandoline better than a food processor?
