Cooking, Mandoline food slicer


I love my Mandoline food slicer!  I make perfect french fries, potato chips, apple chips, and sliced veggies.  To use simply attach the fruit/veggie to the safety cap and move in a up and down motion over the blade. I cut my finger on the sharp blade because I didn't use the safety cover.  My husband also cut his finger while washing it, so be careful!  There are different options and slicers.  I did some research and the one I picked was not the cheapest, but it was the cheapest one with the highest rating.  It even got higher ratings than expensive ones.  Here is the Amazon link.   It will cost around $20.00.  I hope this was a help!



I don't cry anymore when I cut onions.  My eyes are sensitive to them. 


Apple chips!  


Fresh veggies for a salad. 



This is the thinnest cut. 


Making some sweet potato fries.  This is the thicker cut of the two french fry options.
