Mandoline

A mandoline consists of two parallel working surfaces, one of which can be adjusted in height.

With a mandoline, slices are uniform in thickness,[4] which is important with foods that are deep-fried or baked (e.g. potato chips), as well as for presentation.

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 or other blade.

[4] A mandoline is used by running a piece of food (with some protection for fingers) along an adjustable inclined plane into one or more blades.

In these models a quarter turn to the food between passes produces dice and waffle cuts.
