Customer Reviews of Zyliss Easy Slice Mandolin, White
Customer Rating:   Summary: Rubbish! Comment: First of all, I feel like im going to slice my wrist open just looking at this thing. It will not cut uniform shapes of anything, let alone potatoes. My sole desire was to make sweet potato chips with this waste case and I cannot even slice through one end of a potato without using all of my strength to push it through. It is easy for vegetables like zucchini ----but its a zucchini!!!!!!!! The white base deck was stained orange after one use and will not come clean, food gets trapped under the blades...Save your money and chop the old fashioned way. Customer Rating: Summary: Absolute rubbish, waste of money Comment: This item is complete junk. The blades became blunt after I used the carrot Julienne fitting only 6 or 7 times. Then the part that moves up and down started to jump off its rails every few swipes, effectively making the item completely unusable. Oh, and the plastic surface quickly stains, and it's impossible to re-sharpen the blades (and I have many different sharpening devices, including diamond and ceramic sharpening stones). I had it only a short while, but ended up throwing it all into the trash. I recommend you get yourself a really good kitchen knife instead, one made of VG-10 steel or similar. They are pricey, but last forever and are easily re-sharpened. Customer Rating: Summary: Love to use it frequently Comment: I love to use this mandolin and so does the rest of my family. We use it to cut potatoes, eggplant, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumber, apples, lettuce, cheese, and more. It does a fast job with it all. Our blades are still sharp after 4 years of frequent use....I do not put any parts into the dishwasher...I recommend hand washing only. I don't use the cut guard, but it's easy to use if you feel more comfortable with it on. My husband and I couldn't live without this piece of kitchen equipment. It cuts our prep time for making vegetable fried rice, salads, and more down to a few minutes. It's very durable and still looks new after 4 years. Customer Rating: Summary: To store takes up a lot of space. Regulating thickness 1/4 to 1/2 inch is difficult Comment: Zyliss Easy Slice Mandolin, White In general works well. Storage may be a problem in a small kitchen. No way to regulate thickness of slicec between 1/4 ang 1/2 inch. Cleans up easy, but watch your fingers, it's veery sharp' Customer Rating: Summary: Zyliss Easy Slice Mandolin Comment: This is a sophisticated slicer for sure!! My DIL's dad runs an Italian restaurant and wouldn't be without this slicer. Since he thought it was tops, I thought our kitchen should have one too. I like it very much--it does a great job. More Reviews Unless you practise for years, it's very unlikely that you will be able to get perfectly even slices of tomatoes or cucumbers, or identical julienne potato sticks. Not only does variation in size lead to a less professional, less visually appealing look, it also translates to uneven cooking. Solve the visual and cooking problems simply and easily with this sturdy, easy to use mandoline slicer. It's got safeguards to keep your fingers attached to your hand where they belong, and it all locks together for safe and easy storage (no sharp as razors blades lurking in a drawer waiting for someone careless to blunder in). 
Choosing Appliance -> Dishwasher Choose a dishwasher with sturdy compression springs in the door. Also look for tough, lightweight nylon or graphite racks with cushioned tips that protect glassware and cookware. Weimer recommends choosing a model with a rack design that provides the largest, most flexible interior space and is configured for your belongings, including odd-shaped pieces. Choosing Appliance -> Plastic wrap An absolute must with a million and a half uses. But do not buy just any plastic wrap. Go to a restaurant supply store and buy a large roll of restaurant plastic wrap. It sticks much better than the common grocery store plastic wrap and is much cheaper per foot.

Kitchen tips -> Cauliflower Add a little milk to the water or a few drops of vinegar when cooking cauliflower to help it keep its white color. |
