Keen to know which brand to buy? Or want to share a great purchase with the rest of us? This is the place to do it...
I would like a mandolin and wonder which is best. There was a thread on here on the topic quite some time ago but I can't remember which one was the most highly recommended - was it the V-slicer?Kilmory
I remember it being discussed, Kilmroy, but cannot remember.I tend to think its one of those things that never gets used, but then, when Im trying to thinly slice something I wish I had one!!!!I shall put it on my list I think.X
I've got one which i use when stuff needs to be very thin. It is'nt a V slicer which have had good reviews on earlier posts. Think mine is dangerous, always very careful when using it, making sure i always use the guard and when changing the blades. In the new Lakeland brochure there is one, a Zyliss Smart Guard, with more safety features.Have a look and see what you think.xx
I have a Zyliss which I bought from Lakeland,which is an excellent product.I can definitely recommend it.Stephanie
I have a V Slicer too and it is good.When the Zyliss one came out I thought it looked very good and more compact - easier to store. Too late by then though!!
I have a "V" slicer and think it's great, sure all these gizmoes are dangerous if you are careless when you use them, used correctly you should not have any problems.
Thank you all for your replies - like James I'm not sure how much I'd use one but think I'll put it on my Christmas list.Kilmory

I bought it in France when I was first setting up my kitchen as a serious cook (around 1974). It was the devil's invention and sliced me as frequently as it did my veg! The modern ones of the V slicer type look much safer and appear t do the job as well as the old fashioned type. As far as it finding a home at the back of the cupboard - leave it out with your knives and it will be in sight so you'll use it.
