Swissmar Börner PowerLine Thin Julienne Vegetable Slicer – Precision Mandoline Slicer for Potatoes, Zucchini, & Hard Fruits - Perfect for Vegetable Salad – Essential Kitchen Gadgets - White

Great tool to make wavy and waffle slices! It works well for potatoes, cucumber, radish, red cabbage, carrot, apples, and pears. *Carrot's stains clean with veg. oil. I recommend getting a Safety Food Holder for it. I was looking for years to buy this slicer because I trust the Borner quality. My old slicer is over 25 years old. It is in great condition, but narrower than my new one. Easy to use and time-saving to make fancy slices! Remember, it has a safety feature for cleaning and storage - just push to the top removable plate. Thinkness of wavy slices 3, the third one, if we remove the removable plate.

Waffle Fries are the Cadillac of French Fries - because of the increased surface area exposed to oil, the fries come out with a crispness that no other cut can match. Take cottage fries for example - they can be quite good right out of the fryer, but let them sit in a bowl for a few minutes and they start to turn into a soggy, oily clump. Waffle Fries have no such issue - if cooked correctly, they will remain crispy for over an hour before starting to turn soggy. However. cutting Potato Waffles is no easy task. After observing a cheapie cutter at the Wisconsin State Fair this Summer, I decided to take the plunge and purchase this cutter. I had struck out last year with a Cuisinart V-blade mandoline ($80) that was supposed to do Waffle Fries but it never worked for me - the cuts kept letting stuck in a seam on the mandoline, and the holder just stunk - it kept slipping. I know you're supposed to order the food holder separately for this cutter, but I already had a plastic "Cowboy Hat" holder from a State Fair V-blade mandoline from several years back - and it works perfectly. When cutting Waffle Fries, you're supposed to rotate the potato 90 degrees each time, but you don't need to rotate it 360 degrees 90 degrees at a time, just back and forth so the crinkle ridges are going perpendicular to the blade's ridges - this is much easier - back and forth, back and forth - easy strokes gets you perfect waffles every time - however keep in mind that the thicker cuts can be pretty tricky - you have to find the correct speed and that takes a little practice. If you don't have the plastic "Cowboy Hat" food holder you could easily make due with a couple of corn on the cob holders stuck into the potato, but do be careful, it's easy to cut a finger or knuckle on the blade. I've noticed, however, that very hard sweet potatoes or Yucca might require more force than this cutter can stand - so I'd stick to regular potatoes with this one. Pros: • Very sharp, easy cuts • Nicely made, solid construction • Two thicknesses - for chips and hearty waffles • Platform locks into safety position when not using the cutter • Is not expensive Cons: • Is not expensive - not for commercial use - likely won't last with everyday use and blade is not replaceable and can't be sharpened • Can be tricky to get the waffle cuts right - needs some practice • Platform is fairly narrow, making larger waffles impossible to cut • Requires safety holder, no safety available while cutting

I bought this exact mandolin to make the @thefoodbabe Chick-fil-a copy cat waffle fries. The Mandolin works well and gets the job done. I wish I could given it 5 stars. The Borne brand products are typically sturdy and well made. This mandolin is flimsy and thin. I also wish it had a thicker blade cut for a thicker fry style. It’s a bit pricey for the design and construction. It also unfortunately does not come with a hand guard. Overall a good product that could use some improvement.

Awesome product

I want to like this product but the julienne comes out thinner than I expected. The blades are sharp and no safety cap. One needs to be careful not to cut the fingers.

This is a must have for making waffle fries! It's compact so easy to store and very sharp and easy to clean. I do recommend you buy cut-protecting gloves also because it's so fun you'll want to do that last little bit of the potato! I've had this for a while and is still as sharp as when I got it. Love it for Air Frying Fries!

I've been wanting tools to shred the carrots. I'm using shredded carrots a lot in my cooking. I actually purchased a few items and they even pricey, untilI saw this tool on TikTok and wanted to give a try, surprise, surprise is working really good. The tools so light weight, easy to use, and the best is I love the result. Now I believe this will be my favorite to in my kitchen. 😁

Packed WITHOUT safety holder though it is specifically indicated on package and mentioned several times in instructions.

Use at the restaurant. Easy to use that all the kitchen staff love it.

Excellent addition to your kitchen if you can afford it.

Thanks

Excellent product

Nice kitchen tool .Blades are extremely sharp .Satisfied with the result but yes I regret I didn't purchase it's food holder thinking the one which am having already will work but that doesn't fit in it due to size difference ( width ) of slicer .So please if any one thinking to buy , do opt the one having food holder also .
