Regardless of whether you’re skilled with knives, this mandoline makes cutting produce way safer than if you were to use a traditional blade. No longer do you need to use a cutting board and take care not to slice your fingers. With this tool, you simply slide your vegetable over the stainless steel blade, and the ribbons fall into the BPA-free plastic container below. An included glove further protects your knuckles from getting scraped as your cucumber or tomato nears the blade. As for the slicer’s 11 functions, you can take advantage of those by switching out the blade. Whether you want to zest a lemon, slice zucchini into ribbons, or create wavy carrot chips, there’s a blade for that. When you’re done slicing, the mandoline comes apart for easy cleaning; all parts are dishwasher-safe. It also goes without saying that the mandoline’s results will look uniform, as if they were cut by a professional. And, in a sense, they were.

“I made two homemade apple pies for Thanksgiving, and I couldn’t have done it without this perfect little mandoline slicer. After manually peeling and coring the 10 apples (which is very, very time-consuming … about 45 minutes to an hour), I put on the protective glove and sliced those bad boys in less than 10 minutes total. When we served the pies, I received several compliments on how thin and uniform the apples were.” —Jen

“What a fantastic upgrade to my kitchen! This 11-piece mandoline slicer by Fullstar has so many accessories to help with the prep of cutting veggies for any meal. I love the large plastic container that the veggies go into. It’s slanted to make cutting easier and has two rubber strips/feet on the bottom to keep the container secure while slicing. I also love the organization of this product. All the cutting tools fit nicely into a convenient slot within the tool holder. The safety glove to protect your hand is a nice bonus.” —Tamara

“I received this product as a birthday gift, and fell in love with it the very first time I used it. I love to cook, but it takes me forever to prep, and the results are anything but uniform. The mandoline cuts my prep time by at least half, and the end results are perfect. I expected it to take a bit of time for me to get the hang of it, but it’s all so easy. My favorite function is the ribbon blade. I can finally make zoodles!” —Rachel

If you don’t already chop veggies on the regular but would like to get more creative with your homemade creations, consider this mandoline your gateway tool. And now that it’s marked down, there’s no better time to expand your culinary arsenal.
