Easy Slice Folding Mandoline

When children are somewhere between 6 and 7 years old, they are able to operate a mandoline like this one with supervision. The food holder adjusts to fit the size of the food, keeping hands and fingers safely away from the slicing mechanism. This tool allows you're child (and you!) to quickly slice consistent, professional looking rounds of virtually any fruit or vegetable. By turning the dial, you are able to easily alternate between four slicing thicknesses, or cut julienne. (1mm- ie: radishes, cucumbers, zucchini; 2.5 mm-ie: lemons, limes, apples; 4mm-ie:onions, peppers, oranges; 6mm-ie: pineapple; 8mm julienne- ie:potatoes, yams, jicama)

I find a mandoline indispensible in the kitchen. Pizza is so much faster with one... but au gratin potatoes are the best. Thin, perfect slices in at least 1/3 the time!

Folds to 3" high for easy, safe storage.
