A mandoline slicer is a manual food processor for your cheese, fruits and
veggies, except with greater precision. It's like running your food through a
knife instead of running a knife through your food. The French are believed to
have invented it, but it's interesing that it got its name from a musical
instrument (in French it's Mandoline, and in English it's Mandolin; both are
used). Professionals choose adjustable platform mandolines. Platform
mandolines are very easy to use, and many cooks prefer their simplicity of
design, especially when a limited number of thickness settings are acceptable.
Insert the correct size thickness plate and start slicing.
SAFETY FIRST! The blades are sharp and require special attention. Always
use a safety guard with your mandoline, or take special precautions when your
fingers get close to the blades, both while in use and when cleaning. Cleaning
mandolin slicers should be done immediately after use, to prevent food from
drying on the parts. Blades should be washed by hand. If approved for
dishwasher use, carefully position them where they won't cut or damage other
utensils with their sharp blades. Steel blades should be hand washed, dried
immediately, and lightly oiled before storing. (A small artists brush and a
well of mineral oil make this task easy and painless.)
