If you’re looking for an affordable mandolin slicer the Sunbeam Mandolin kitchen slicer may be right up your alley. This mandolin slicer features 3 different stainless steel blades allowing you to slice, cut and julienne. Blades snap in and out easily, so you can quickly go from one type of cutting to another.

The Sunbeam mandolin also allows you to cut pieces from thick to wafer thin, each slice exactly the same as the previous. This is hugely important so all your pieces will cook evenly.

When you’re done using the kitchen slicer you simply rinse the blades off, and then you can easily hang your mandolin on the wall for easy storage.

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

If 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.

OXO V Blade Mandoline Slicer

If 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!
