Benriner super slicer mandoline12/24/2023 I love my 20-year old Cuisinart but don't like how it slices, except narrow vegetables, like carrots. Is the Benriner better than the food processor for slicing? Yes. My favorite is the 'medium' blade, for 'noodles' of vegetables along with matchsticks.The 'fine' blade creates light fluffy bits of vegetables, almost like a microplane does for lemon zest and Parmesan.And the three interchangeable blades create different widths of vegetables. Even so, there's no matching the perfectly thin and perfectly even slices that emerge from a mandoline. Sorry, the knives aren't destined for Goodwill and they'll still need regular sharpening. In 2005, it was a technique for aggressively trimming broccoli that was 'life transforming' - at least the vegetable area of my life! In 2007, it's the Benriner that allows two of my four tips for transforming mundane vegetables into something new and exciting. Me, I call it extraordinarily handy in the kitchen, especially for transforming raw vegetables into perfectly thin and perfectly versions of themselves - often this makes them edible (and enjoyable) uncooked, but for cooking small size means fast cooking. For a couple of years now, I've experimented with various mandoline-type slicing tools, including several hand-held ones ( this one actually works but it was a freebie my sister received in the mail) and a couple of $30 - $50 'sliding slicers'.įinally, I found the one I love! (Thanks to Karen from FamilyStyle Food for the recommendation!) It's a Japanese-style benriner, some times called a Japanese mandoline (or mandolin) or an Asian mandoline (or mandolin), some times called a V-Slicer.
