mandolines

Julienne cutting tools

Mandolines is the plural of mandoline, a kitchen tool with an adjustable blade used to slice vegetables into uniform thickness.

The flat platform allows rapid, precise cuts—paper-thin potato chips, julienned carrots, or cucumber rounds: She used a mandoline to slice the zucchini for the gratin.

The blade is notoriously sharp; experienced cooks use the guard or a cut-resistant glove.
