Trusted since 1955, BENRINER is a kitchen staple for thin vegetable slicing, garnish work, and julienne cuts. This classic ivory model adjusts from approximately 0.5mm to 3mm, making it useful for delicate cucumber slices, onions, carrots, potatoes, radishes, cabbage, and other firm vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mandolin includes interchangeable fine, medium, and coarse julienne blades, giving home cooks and professional kitchens more flexibility than a standard slicer. Use it for salads, pickles, stir-fry prep, garnishes, slaws, and restaurant-style plating. The blade is extremely sharp and should always be handled with care. Use the included finger guard whenever possible, especially when the vegetable becomes small or difficult to grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjust the thickness before slicing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hold the BENRINER at eye level and turn the adjustment screw underneath the cutting board.
