Not sure if it’s right for your cook? Don’t take my word for it, here’s what other’s have to say:

I have used many different slicers (V-type, diagonal) and this stainless steel Bron which I also own is my favorite by far. The Borner V slicer I own does not have legs and is thus unstable, it is okay for quick non-uniform shredding and slicing. This model has it’s own legs so your two hands can focus on the cutting. If you simply pay attention to where the blades are (put the cell phone down), you shouldn’t cut yourself. It has a sliding guard for the food to rest in which attaches to the mandoline (which in the picture of the item is shown attached upside-down) and I believe to be safer than the free floating guards of the others. One plus of the steel construction is absolutely true uniform slices which are produced, which has not been experienced with plastic slicers. If you have the money, it is a great investment that should last you your lifetime.

Here’s a great video showing you exactly what this mandolin can do!

Here’s another review:

Great product. Everything it says it is. Even though some say the instructions are hard to understand, I didn’t feel that way. Very sharp blades, so you do need to be very careful and use the guard. But the reason I bought it was I wanted sharp blades.

and one more!

I’m a grumpy grandpa who generally avoids food preparation, but I didn’t want my wife using something sharp without my checking it out first. Now I have her trained to let me “play the mandoline.” It’s kinda fun and slices squash, carrots, potatoes and the like just great. Not for tomatoes or fruit. You know…the soft things.

The slice thickness is adjusted by moving a lever (one for each blade)positioned underneath. Adjustment is quite stiff requiring some finger strength, but once placed they stay put during the most vigorous slicing.

I like the stainless steel construction. Just a quick rinse and drip dry.

You wouldn’t use this to slice up one carrot, but if you’re going to make a pot of soup you can whip up piles of perfectly sliced veggies in just a few minutes.

Zevro VS2-S-1703 Vac ‘n Save Ruby Rectangular-Shaped Vacuum-Sealing Food-Storage Containers, Set of 8

zevrovs3s1703vacnsaveIf you’re looking for a way to help someone get organized in their kitchen ~ or just hoping to take home some Christmas day leftovers the Zevro VS2-S-1703 Vac ‘n Save Ruby Rectangular-Shaped Vacuum-Sealing Food-Storage Containers, Set of 8 is a great Christmas gift ideas.

Storage is always lacking at our house, and while the new cheap ziploc plastic dishes are great they are so cheap that they are disposable in our minds. This means if something gets left in the fridge too long we just throw the whole thing out instead of trying to deal with it. This ends up costing a lot more money in the long run.

A good set of storage containers would make all the difference in that mind set.

This set is not only storage, but vacuum packed storage. It comes with its own vacuum sealer. You just pop to sealer on and suck out the excess air. The gaskets create an air proof seal, making it easy to store leftovers and keep them as fresh as they were when you cooked them.

Storing your storage containers can be a big problem, however, these easily nest together making them very easy to store, and they take up very little space.

If you’re looking for a great gift for a cook, or someone who’s hard to buy for but likes to be organized this is the perfect gift option.

This item has FREE SHIPPING when you buy from Amazon.com

OXO V Blade Mandoline Slicer

oxovblademandolineslicerIf you have a cook on your list to buy for this year why not take a look at the OXO V Blade Mandoline Slicer. What an easy and quick way to slice and dice. It’s got three different blades to make cutting as plain or as fancy as you want it to get. They all store right on the mandoline so you don’t have to worry about keeping track of them, or where they are when you need them.

This mandoline also has non slip feet which is really important for safety as well as ease of cutting. It also features soft grip handles and knobs to make it very comfortable while you’re cutting.  The textured runway keeps food from sticking and piling up as you are quickly cutting and slicing.

This is a very versatile mandoline ~ it has 4 different cutting thicknesses one of which will be just right for anything you are cutting.

I love kitchen gadgets, but my big problem is where and how to store them. This is great because it folds up and the feet fold in so it very compact and easy to store.

Let’s see what some other people are saying about the OXO Good Grips 1155700 V-Blade Mandoline Slicer

We purchased this mandoline after it “won” the top spot on America’s Test Kitchen’s product reviews, over products that were much more expensive. America’s Test Kitchen was considering safety features, as well as good slicing and convenience. It does have great safety features (which is a good thing, because those blades are SHARP!!!) And it works as well at slicing ripe tomatoes (which many mandolines mangle) as it does at slicing onions or potatoes. Great product, and yet another example of Oxo’s great product design!

We got this off our wedding registry and are having a blast with this! We made homemade French Fries followed by homemade crinkle cut potato chips the same day we got it- delicious! It was really easy to use and very safe (especially for someone as clutzy as I am!). It does take a little bit to figure out how to switch out the blades, but if you just take the time to read the directions, it’s a snap. I’m definitely very happy with it!
