The Essential Mandoline from Kuhn Rikon slices firm fruit and vegetables such as potatoes, cucumbers and apples with a sharp stainless steel blade that adjusts from ultra-thin up to 5mm. A finger sheath lets you work right to the end of a carrot, and a silicone edge on the base helps it stay put on the worktop.

Care instructions
Daily washing
Handwash in warm soapy water, taking care around the blade. We always recommend handwashing anything with a cutting edge, as dishwashers can dull and chip blades.
After each use
Turn the dial back to 0.0mm once you have finished slicing.
Safe use
The blade is extremely sharp. Always use the finger sheath, and for food under 2.5cm use the hand protector and slider. Keep out of reach of children.
Questions and answers
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
We recommend washing it by hand in warm soapy water. Dishwashers can dull and chip sharp blades, so handwashing helps keep the blade sharp for longer.
What is it best for slicing?
Firm fruit and vegetables such as potatoes, cucumbers, carrots and apples. The blade is suited to hard vegetables, so it copes well with the sort of produce that is slow to slice evenly by knife.
How do I slice small or short pieces?
For anything under 2.5cm, use the hand protector and slider rather than holding the food in your hand. The blade is extremely sharp, so it is worth taking that extra second every time.
How should I put it away after use?
Turn the dial back to 0.0mm once you have finished. As the blade is extremely sharp, store it out of reach of children.
