Guess how much time it took me to cut all those veggies? Looks time consuming, huh? Well, it wasn’t. It literally took me 3 minutes with my new, handy dandy mandolin!
I have been wanting one of these forever, and found this one for a buck at a garage sale. It is not fancy, but it is sharp and gets the job done! It makes eating raw fruits and vegetables fast and fun. I find that we have greatly increased our veggie and fruit consumption in this house due to this handy gadget.
My girls beg me for apples now that we can slice them so thin. They liked apples before, but now they eat them like they are candy!
I like this model for basic slicing, but one of these days I am going to get a mandolin that allows you to adjust the thickness of your slices, like the fancy one below. That would be great!
{I’m asking for these for Christmas!:)}
**Caution..do not let children use these. It is very sharp and way too easy to slice a finger. I’m currently growing back half my fingernail–yea, ick.
