Great chefs need great knife skills for all of the chopping, slicing, and dicing they do. However, the home chef doesn’t need to have the same knife skills. That’s why a mandoline is a great tool for the home chef to have in his or her kitchen.
Literally, within a few seconds, you can turn a cucumber into hundreds of matchsticks. You can thinly slice a potato for chips. A sweet potato can be turned into fries, too.
There are a few different types of mandolines from the inexpensive to the elaborate. Some come with one blades, and some come with several blades. A really nice mandoline will have a compartment to catch your food.
