The food holder part is not ideally sized/shaped for everything. It's uch nicer than scraping up my fingers on my old 'bell' grater.
Otherwise, it's a slicing and grating dream. I had to use a scrub brush to get it all out. THe time I shredded soap I thought it was all clean but found that it still had soap caked in the gripper/holder part of the Ultimate Mandolin. THe only think I've had an issue with is that it's hard to take apart to clean. With veggies for salads I can slice cucumber and shred carrots with only a quick change of the blade. I was able to make crinkle or flat slices of apples in just a few minutes. With apple slicing I peeled, halved, and cored the apples then put them one half at a time into the holder side of the Ultimate Mandolin. I couldn't do half of what I do in the kitchen without it. I have used it to slice apples for apple pie, veggies for salads, and even shredding soap to make home made laundry soap. The Ultimate Mandolin has been invaluable. I didn't cook much at the time and wanted to learn. I received my Ultimate Mandolin from Pampered Chef as a Christmas gift a few years ago.
you have to be careful when removing the blades, and there is often food trapped in little crevices. I find this product difficult to unasseemble. however, i have not enjoyed owning this product. This is truly disappointing to me because I have seen this product modeled and watched chefs use one, and I feel the experience could be more positive. I find that it is easier, far less time consuming to just use a knife. For me, by the time i get the blade correctly assembled, I then struggle to get the product on so that I am producing consistent cuts.

however, I have not been able to master how to quickly change the blades, and how to effectively use the blades to maximize cutting time and product. This mandoline comes with interechangable blades for cutting purposes: potatoes, meats, vegetables, etc. I love the idea of having a mandoline it's one of the tools that I thought I would use the most often from pampered chef. Overall, a great mandoline for a beginner. The grooves cause minimal difficulty in cleaning, but I hate dishes to begin with. Food doesn't stick to the machine at all.
The difficulty is not enough to render the product too hard.Ĭlean up is also easy. The hand protecting pick is a bit hard to maneuver for larger items, like potatoes, but it just takes a little moving around. Sometimes, you have to shake off the previously sliced product from the bottom, but not usually. It's nice that you have some creativity to make homemade crinkle cut veggies or whatever you desire.Īs far as operation, the slicer does not catch or jam up. I like that there were multiple slice-options - crinkle cut, wavy, etc. I could probably assemble this with my eyes closed. However, the product is well marked and safely designed. I was afraid I would cut myself, since I am a bit clumsy. The instructions included with the product are clear enough to operate the machinery, even if you are a newbie like me. This is my first mandoline, and boy did I like it!
