OXO Good Grips Mandolin Slicer.

I’ve always wanted to try one of these magic tools… Have you ever been in a posh restaurant and wondered how they manage to slice their vegetables so perfectly?  Well, the answer is right here.  The OXO mandolin slicer does all this with a minimum of fuss and hassle.

So, for Christmas dinner this year, you can impress family and friends with your perfectly sliced veggies.  There are straight and wavy blades which can be adjusted by a dial on the side to set the thickness of the slice required.  This doesn’t move around when in use and the handle is behind, nowhere near the sharp blades, so it’s much safer than using a knife.  The blades are easily removed for washing and it comes with a neat storage container which fits underneath to catch your chopped veg.

The mandolin can also be used to make chips and even thinly sliced potatoes for making crisps.  A salad will never be the same again, with my perfectly sliced cucumbers and julienne carrots.  This is an amazing device. I wouldn’t be without one now I’ve tried it.  An excellent Christmas pressie for mum, if ever there was one!  Priced at £60.00, available from www.oxouk.com
