Tried other slicers and none achieve the french fry cut I was looking for. Some had a push feature tha cut strips but they could only to 2 inches long or they wouldn't fit in the slicer. Retailers said that no such appliance was available. Many were too young to remember the Veg-O-Matic commercials and older retailers didn't think they made them anymore. Than God for Internet search engines!"..."  Read more

<strong>Microplane</strong> Gourmet Fine / Spice Grater with Black Handle Microplane
Microplane Gourmet Fine / Spice Grater with Black Handle

 5 stars

These hand graters do not need much explanation on how to use them. It is fairly basic. The main thing is to watch your fingers, hands, & knuckles. Microplane graters are very sharp which is what you want, but they can also grate skin. I have many sizes and blade types and use and like them all. In my opinion Microplane is the best. I use them to grate nutmeg pods, hard cheeses, zest, chocolate and anything else that needs to be grated. They may be able to go into the dishwasher, but I do not do so, I just simply wash them in hot soapy water. I don't want to take the chance of the dishwashing soap discoloring the handles. They wash in seconds. Be sure to wipe the blade in the opposite direction that you would grate in so you don't cut yourself."..."  Read more

I bought this avo cutter because I was putting more raw, unprocessed foods in my diet. It works very well. Since it's a combo of rubber and plastic, it is very flexible. just squeeze the neck that bends the slicer to fit the shape of the fruit. It also is not dangerously sharp making cleaning not a blood letting task. Like a whisk, a couple os swooshes in a bowl of water will get the majority of leavings gone."..."  Read more

<strong>OXO</strong> V-Blade Mandoline OXO
OXO V-Blade Mandoline

 4 stars

I bought this mandoline slicer sort of on a whim, because I won a $35 Wayfair gift certificate that paid for most of it. I'd never used one before, so I didn't know what to expect, but it has been great! I've used it to slice carrots, onions, and cucumbers so far. It was much easier to get thin, uniform slices with the mandoline, as compared to using a knife. With onions, I figured out I could actually dice them, by using the julienne blade attachment. (Except the pieces on each side still came out whole, of course. The onion's problem, not the slicer's.) Cleanup is easy, once you figure out how the pieces are all attached. The manual book explains everything, of course. You really have to understand the setup if you want to be able to put it back together again, haha. Storage is easy, too. It all folds up flat and locks in place, with accessory attachments snapped into the bottom. It is MUCH smaller than the box it comes in, thank goodness! If I had small children, though, I would definitely keep this out of reach. The V-blade is very sharp, exposed, and oh-so-shiny. I imagine the attachments also look tempting. I haven't tried it out on potatoes or tomatoes yet, so I'm not sure how well it will handle very hard and very soft produce. I also haven't had opportunity to use the wavy blade. That's the main reason I didn't give it a 5-star rating--because I can't claim to know its full capacity. To sum up: Pros: it's fast and easy to use, and you can get beautiful, uniform, thin slices or julienne strips. The more things you need to slice, the more time it saves you. Cons: may be confusing to assemble/disassemble, may not accommodate the thickness of slices that you want. Does require more cleanup than a knife. (So if you're only cutting one thing, or only in larger pieces, don't bother to use the mandoline.) Blade is still exposed when it's folded for storage."..."  Read more
