Good quality mandoline for the price February 20, 2008 C. Williams (Savannah, GA) 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
As others have mentioned, this is most useful with a large quality of product. However, I've used it a number of times to make homemade french fries while only using one potato. The uniform cuts are amazing, however, I wish there were more control over the thickness of cuts. The perpendicular blade makes for a nice dice or chop.
Pinzon Mandoline February 20, 2008 D. Waite (Virginia) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Extremely pleased with the product. I used mandolines before in the restaurant industry, and it is so nice to own one for home use. It is well made and sufficiently heavy-duty for more than use by a homeowner.
neat slices - even by a kitchen klutz March 7, 2008 D. Amschler 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I confess, I'm a total klutz - especially with anything sharp. After multiple friends ranted and raved about their mandolines and suggested I get one so I could slice safely, I thought about it but figured it was just another of those gadgets that'd take up space and never really do what was promised. However, when I found this on sale, I figured I'd give it a try. It'd have been a bargain at the full price. It does EVERYTHING as promised - it's as safe as my friends said a mandoline would be - and it's even easy to clean.
Bought for a friend, used it once January 11, 2008 C. Lianides-Chin (Boston, MA USA) 22 out of 29 found this review helpful
I bought one of these for a friend for Christmas, and used it at her house a week later. It is very solid, the legs do not slip, and the food holder has very smooth action (it has a bracket so that it slides on the edges of the mandoline).
I have used a professional mandoline a couple of times, and I found the Pinzon model to be just as effective on onions (have not used for other vegetables). The professional mandoline had a better height adjustment (finer control over thickness) than the Pinzon one, but that was the only noticeably better feature.
Caveat: when I used it, the Pinzon mandoline was brand-new. I do not know how well it holds up over the long term. It felt very solid when I used it, and it is made out of stainless steel, so the body will probably last a long time. The food holder was made out of durable-feeling plastic, but I don't know how it may react to continued wear. I have no idea about the quality of the blades, so it is possible that they will dull significantly over time. It is also possible that the whole thing will last for years without a noticeable decline.
Mandoline December 2, 2008 M. Skinner (Arkansas) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The price was the hook, my husband makes fries 2-3 times a week. I love this item. It performs well and looks great. It is VERY sharp so this is not for the rookie cook. We even made sweet potato fries for Thanksgiving!
