Mandoline, Borner V-Slicer

This is the best slicer I’ve used. The hand guard prevents cuts and injuries. It comes with a storage container, all of the pieces can be tucked in neatly.

There are 3 inserts: 1 is for thin or thick slices, you just flip it over for either choice; the 2nd is to julienne vegetables like carrots or beets to toss in a salad; the one I use most has blades spaced apart to make skinny fries. The blades are so sharp, it does potatoes without a problem. Just stab it with the prongs on the underside of the hand guard and use quick motions to easily cut through hard vegetables. Made in Germany.
