Are you thinking about buying a mandolin? Do you own a mandolin that collects dust? Before you "KonMari" your mandolin, think again!

WHAT IS A MANDOLIN? A mandolin is a vegetable slicer, one that transform vegetables into Instagram-pretty perfectly thin and perfectly even slices. It's also called a "Benriner" [pronounced ben-RINE-er], a V Slicer and a Japanese mandoline.

FINGER GUARDS ARE A MUST! Mandolins are small and compact but the cutting blades are super-super sharp. There are so many stories of people heading to the ER after using a mandolin without a finger guard. It's no wonder that current models have built-in finger guards.

Should You Buy a Mandolin? No. And Yes.

Should a mandolin be among the first purchases for a new kitchen? Definitely not. At the same time, a mandolin moves vegetables to a place that even excellent knife skills cannot: perfectly thin and perfectly even pieces. A mandolin reinvents vegetables! transforms vegetables! renews vegetables!

I bought my first mandolin back in 2007. There's a newer model with a fixed finger guard, also another model that's narrower and shorter (and at the time of this writing, also considerably less expensive).
