The Finest Mandoline | Opinions by Wirecutter

Benriner launched an up to date collection of its best-selling mandolines in 2018, and its new Tremendous Benriner mannequin (No. 95, with a blade measuring 9.5 cm, or 3.7 inches, huge) addresses all of the considerations we had in regards to the older mannequin whereas preserving its finest options. The hand guard received an entire overhaul—it now grips greens extra securely than the outdated model. The double-bevel blade can deal with all the pieces from mushy tomatoes to robust lemons to tiny radishes to laborious candy potatoes. And the general design is sturdy with out being cumbersome.

KitchenAid’s Hand-Held V-Blade Mandoline Slicer has a wise, easy design that includes an simply adjustable blade and an ultrasafe hand guard. We had bother slicing potatoes and candy potatoes lengthwise with it, although all V-blade slicers fail on extra-long greens as a result of they don’t have sufficient runway to offer assist for every slice. Moreover, the KitchenAid’s blade tends to boring over time, and it’s not replaceable. However the value means this instrument remains to be nice for infrequent use.

The Swissmar Börner VPower is a stable possibility with a pointy, albeit unreplaceable, V-shaped blade that makes exact cuts, in addition to a sturdy, handheld design. It’s bigger, bulkier, and costlier than the Benriner and KitchenAid slicers. It’s additionally unable to deal with candy potatoes lengthwise. On all the pieces else, nonetheless, together with tomatoes, onions, radishes, and carrots, the Swissmar aced our assessments.
