Round Mandoline Slicer with 3 Drum Blades
A regular flat mandoline is fast, but a lot of people are a little scared of it, and for good reason. Your hand moves right over an open blade. A round mandoline slicer works differently: you drop the food into a hopper, press it down with a pusher and turn a crank. The drum does the cutting while your fingers stay on the handle. That's why it's also called a drum vegetable cutter or rotary grater.
This one comes with three stainless steel drums: one for slices, one for fine shreds and one for coarse shreds. A lock button holds each drum in place, and a silicone suction base keeps the whole thing from walking across the counter. Even slices and shreds, with your fingers nowhere near the blade.
Which drum for what: one vegetable slicer, three jobs
| Drum | Use it for | Ideas |
|---|---|---|
| Slicing | Cucumber, potatoes, zucchini, onions | Cucumber salad, homemade chips, gratin |
| Fine shredding | Carrots, potatoes, nuts | Carrot salad, hash browns, ground almonds for baking |
| Coarse shredding | Carrots, beets, cabbage | Coleslaw, beet salad, stir-fry vegetables |
What is a mandoline slicer used for?
A mandoline slicer cuts vegetables into thin, even slices or shreds much faster than a knife, and every piece comes out the same size. A round mandoline does the same job with a crank, so your hand never slides across the blade. The drums also grate nuts and dry bread into crumbs.
How it works
- Wipe the counter clean and dry, then press the base down so the suction grips.
- Slide in the drum you want and press the lock button.
- Cut big vegetables into pieces that fit the hopper.
- Press down with the pusher and turn the crank at a steady pace. Let the drum do the work.
- Set a bowl in front to catch everything.
The suction holds best on smooth surfaces like laminate, glass or polished stone. It won't grip on textured tile or wood grain.
The specs
The body is ABS and PC plastic and the drums are 430 stainless steel. It measures about 9.4 × 4.7 × 3.2 inches (24 × 11.8 × 8 cm), weighs about 1.5 lb (675 g) and comes in blue.
Cleaning up
The drums come off for washing under the tap. Rinse them right away so nothing dries in the holes, and use a small brush on the shredding drums. Handle them by the ends, and dry everything before storing.
If you've been wanting a mandoline but don't trust yourself near the blade, this is a good place to start. Add it to your cart, or compare it with our other mandoline slicers and vegetable slicers.
