You can spend more than twice as much and still not get a mandoline this good. So say the editors of Gourmet magazine, who tested six mandolines and rated the Good Grips #1, with no faults. It's stable, safe and easy to use, with a simple knob to adjust slicing thickness. The blades (including julienne and waffle-cutters) remove easily for cleaning and store safely on board when not in use. Clean-up is a snap and the Good Grips mandoline folds flat for storage.
