Summary:
The body of the Mandoline is made of highquality 304 stainless steel. The
straight blade is for slicing while the serrated blade is used for crinkle or
waffle cuts. The three julienne blades can create fruit or vegetables sticks
of various widths. The guiding plate located on the upper section of the
Mandoline controls the thickness of the vegetable or fruit slices. The safety
holder protects your hands from accidental cuts and knicks.
Safety Instructions
- When you use the Mandoline directly on a container, such as a mixing bowl, the Mandoline should lay flat across the container. You do not need to extend the support leg.
- Be sure to cut fruits and vegetables to the appropriate size to properly fit the safety holder.
There is an adjustment dial on the upper side of the Mandoline. This dial
allows you to slide the platform up and down to adjust the thickness of the
slices.
NOTE: The gap between the upper plate and the blade signifies the
thickness of the cut. This Mandoline offers a constant thickness adjustment
since the upper plate always
remains parallel.
Crinkle and Waffle Cuts
The slicing blade is ideal for slicing a variety of foods from carrots and
cabbage to lemons and potatoes. It is especially useful when cutting paper-
thin slices. The serrated blade is ideal for crinkle and waffle cuts.
Both the slicing blade and the serrated blade can be inserted from the side of
the Mandoline. Hold the blades by their handle to prevent accidental cuts. A
crinkle cut requires only one pass over the blade.
For waffle cuts you must adjust the height of the upper plate so that the
slices that you are cutting are very thin. Begin by making a single pass, then
turn the fruit or vegetable
(or rotate the safety handle) 90 degrees and make a 2nd cut. This pattern
creates opposing crinkle cuts which look like a waffle.
NOTE: The serrated blade cannot be used in conjunction with the julienne
blade. Julienne Cuts
The julienne blades are ideal for making sticks, fries, and shoestring
potatoes.
The julienne blades must only be used with the slicing blade. Always hold the
julienne blades by the handle to avoid accidental cuts. They are to be
inserted from the side
of the body. Be sure to insert it all the way into the slot opening. Adjust
the thickness of the upper plate and then place the vegetable lengthwise into
the safety holder. Use a
firm and even pressure to slide the fruit or vegetable down to the lower
plate.
Maintenance
This Mandoline requires minimal maintenance. The body and blades are dishwasher safe but hand washing is preferred to extend the life of the parts. The slicing blade should be sharpened as it starts to get dull to avoid potential injury. The serrated blade should be sharpened by a cutlery specialist.
Cleaning
It is recommended to wash the Mandoline in hot water before using it. It should also be washed after every use with soap and warm water in order to flush out food residue and then left to dry. Do not clean the slicer with any tool that may damage the edge of the blades.
