Mandoline Slicers or V-slicers can drastically trim down prep time, but how to use a mandoline slicer safely is an important basic kitchen skill. Despite its intimidating reputation as one of the sharpest kitchen tools, a mandoline slicer can deliver precise cuts that are essential for artistic and exact cooking.
Some slicers are basic and only do slices, while others have options that allow you to do different types of cuts including waffle cuts and julienne.

FINALLY! This is the exact mandoline that I purchased from Amazon. And the so-called instruction manual was useless. Your measured step by step video was perfect. I love your approach that stressed both what it is and how to use it.

@LetsCelebrateTV Год назад

Thank you! It's one of my favorite tools. But I know too many people who don't use it correctly and end up getting cut. Thanks for watching!

@yooein 6 месяцев назад

I know you are a professional because of the way you said "to about there" without specifying where. lol I love your whole video, super helpful. I've only ever used these East German ones from 40 years ago, but now I lost mine while moving... So now realizing how expensive these things are, and how many different ones exist.

@LetsCelebrateTV 6 месяцев назад

I appreciate that! I use mine all the time, but even I have had it happen when I got lazy 🍸🍸

@RVKevin 2 года назад

love the humor Peter ! great demonstration, very helpful thanks for the video 👍

@LetsCelebrateTV 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it 🍸🍸

@HankMiner 2 года назад

I can attest, USE THE GUARD❗❗

@LetsCelebrateTV 2 года назад

Ouch - sounds like the voice of experience 🍸🍸

@mehusla Год назад

Great video, ty. I’m 74, and always feared using a mandolin so resisted buying one. With developing hand arthritis, I recently decided it was time to get over my caution. Bought a sturdy adjustable model similar to the one you demonstrated. Second time I used it I nicked my thumb trying to carefully remove a stuck chip from the blade. Ive learned never to go near the blade with my shaky digits. Now I use a plastic fork where needed!

@LetsCelebrateTV Год назад

It is great that you are trying and learned. As a basic skill, this is one of our most popular episodes. Thanks for watching 🍸

@bennyboost Год назад

Ended up in Emergency Department on Christmas Day because I was a rookie cowboy and didn’t use the guard. Lesson: USE THE GUARD.

@LetsCelebrateTV Год назад

Wow, I hope you're okay! Yes, use the guard! 😮

@RonRicho 10 месяцев назад

I am a seasoned home cook but I sometimes get a bit cocky as I did last night. Didn't require a trip to the hospital but I was just lucky. Take this gent's advice and USE THE GUARD!.

@LetsCelebrateTV 10 месяцев назад

Ouch! And, thanks for watching.

@wendyaminzadeh2165 Месяц назад

Ron are you ok?

@wendyaminzadeh2165 Месяц назад

Let's cook where did you get your mandolin?

Thank you! Cheers! 🍸🍸

@cindytait4610 2 года назад

Thanks Peter - I just opened the box on this mandolin - the first two videos I watched weren't very helpful - yours was excellent - thanks! I subscribed to your show.

@LetsCelebrateTV 2 года назад

Thank you. Kitchen tools are great when you know how to use them. Welcome to LCTV!

Look at as many vids to get a full awareness on the how and WHY

@LetsCelebrateTV 8 месяцев назад

Safety and the guard is the key 🍸🍸

@papiXchuko Год назад

Yep,Used the guard, I cut myself once and it’s sharp .

@LetsCelebrateTV Год назад

It is important, but we all get lazy or think, I am careful, it won't happen to me 🍸

@Onlinepmcourses 2 года назад

Guard or no guard - I won't ever use one of these. These scare the bejesus out of me!

@LetsCelebrateTV 2 года назад

They should not scare you when using a quality mandoline. Most of the accidents we see are novice cooks using low end plastic mandolines. The plastic ones slide and the blades are not very sharp so it takes extra effort to slice so the entire unit moves on each stroke.

@sandfleababe8908 2 года назад

I'm watching still but cleaning one would be a great video. I used my new one for making pickled onions but I'm afraid to clean it 😱

@LetsCelebrateTV 2 года назад

Oh no - don't be scared. Each model is different, but for most the blade is a cartridge that slides out the side. Even if it doesn't when you rotate the thickness knob to 0, the bed is flat and blade is below the bed so cleaning is safe and easy. When all else fails, check the manual, they usually have good tips. 🍸🍸

@mohammadrasoulfard-habibi3066 Год назад

I don't have the same one but still a great advice

@LetsCelebrateTV Год назад

Thanks for watching and welcome to LCTV 🍸

@lisaharwood6115 8 месяцев назад

Hi do you have a link to the specific Mandoline your using as so many look alikes but cheap and not great reviews on Amazon. I want to make sure I buy the same as yours. Thanks.

Oxo makes 2 of them and they are listed in the video description. Here is the one that is in the video: OXO Good Grips Chef's Mandoline Slicer - geni.us/82jpXj

@mikker29y Год назад

The question that no one has an answer to - How to use the mandolin for a potato without losing 1/5 of the thing once you reach the level where the gripper won't hold it anymore.

@LetsCelebrateTV Год назад

Some brands are better than others with the depth of the guard. The Oxo series is good in that you don't get much leftover. If I want to use that little bit for something, I will just use my chef's knife. 🍸

@francesbatycki404 Год назад

Use the small leftover bits and throw them in a dedicated scrap bag in the freezer for making veggy soup stock.

@bobburgers4302 4 месяца назад

The problem with V shaped blades, is that they get the veggies stuck, if the blade isn't 100% level. And they therefore also cut un even thick slices, if you use left and right sides. I have an OXO V slicer, and it's not cutting the same thickness if I switch side, and it comes with pre installed settings, so you can't adjust the thickness as you chose. Only get a single blade slicer, with variable thickness selection. And be carefull, some mandolins, come with a to small guide, that barely fitt the width of the slicer.

@LetsCelebrateTV 4 месяца назад

V slicers are not my preferred either 🍸🍸

@vikingrbeerdserkr8406 2 года назад

I'd like to see you try and slice a pickle or pickle cucumber with the guard :p

@LetsCelebrateTV 2 года назад

I would agree with that, but remember the target audience for the basic skills - novices. If they don't get into the habit early of using the guard, way too many accidents will happen. For the Novice, I will say use knife on the pickle. The professionals usually have enough skill to do it. 🍸🍸

@cottagekeeper Год назад

How about a demonstration on cutting zucchini lengthwise?

@LetsCelebrateTV Год назад

Great idea 🍸

@electrodk86 9 месяцев назад

Can it slice citrus fruit as well? Lime, lemon, orange you name it. Oxo sharp enough to handle?

@LetsCelebrateTV 9 месяцев назад

Yes it can, but with the guard there will be a lot of waste, so I would opt to do this with a knive 🍸

@coramanahan7615 7 месяцев назад

@Hedgehogsinthemist123 2 месяца назад

I'm still not sure if it's worth investing in one of these things. What happens when you're slicing a potato and it gets down to the top of the guard. Do you have to take the leftover potato and reposition it? It seems like a lot of fuss just to slice a few potatoes and vegetables now and again.

@LetsCelebrateTV 2 месяца назад

When you get down to the small end, there are two choices. Cut the small piece by hand, or if you are trying to get perfect consistent slices, then just toss the ends. 🥂🍸

@tommybgunn185 2 месяца назад

What about cabbage

@LetsCelebrateTV 2 месяца назад

It works great on the slicer. Usevthe guard, set the blade depth high 🍾🍸

@vasidee267 11 месяцев назад

this product , besides being useless, should be recalled for safety - i know 3 people that were sent to ER to have their cuts stitched because of this junk..

@LetsCelebrateTV 11 месяцев назад

I'm sorry to hear that. But, that's why it's so important to follow the instructions, use the safety guard, and be mindful of what you're doing in the kitchen. Unfortunately, accidents happen even when someone is being super careful. Thanks for watching!

@bobburgers4302 4 месяца назад

That's NOT how you use a mandolin. When using the guard, keep the guard level with the surface of the mandolin. In this video, we see him "pulling" the guard, you must "push" the guard. When pulling the guard, you will tend to lift the back of the veggie, getting an uneven cut. When pushing the guard, you can get a better connection with the surface of the mandolin, keeping it level and getting evenly thick slices. "Feel" the veggie, make sure it isn't wobbeling while cutting.

@LetsCelebrateTV 4 месяца назад

I mostly agree with you, but it depends on the density of the item being sliced 🍸🍸
