Mandoline

A Mandoline is a kitchen utensil used for slicing and cutting; with proper attachments, it can cut food to create all different kinds of shapes and textures. One of the advantages of using a mandoline is that the slices will be uniform in thickness, which is important with foods that are deep-fried or baked, as well as for presentation. Another advantage is that the slices can be very thin, and be made very quickly, with significantly less skill and effort than would be required if cutting with a knife.
