Any suggestions for a "buy it for life" mandoline? I'm looking to make things like sauerkraut quite often, but the prospect of julienne and waffle cut vegetables is also quite tantalizing.

Bron

Zyliss makes some good stuff as well though I prefer their older stuff, the older ones that I think were better made are also hard to find.

I've got a newer zyliss and it's pretty well made.

Hey Op, I recently was on the hunt for a good mandolin ears well. I also make lots of sauerkraut and other lacto fermented veggies.
America's Teat Kitchen did a review of mandolins a few months ago and I bought their top suggestion- Borner Trendline v3 Hobel. I freaking LOVE it! I'm a bit of a klutz, so the large hand guard and easy to change plates works really well for me.

I highly suggest reading the article and deciding for yourself.

I never really saw a reason to get one of these if your knife skills are up to snuff, but then again I dont make a lot of kraut.

It's generally not purposeful unless you work in a kitchen.

And it makes a knuckle-buster look safe. Buy a damned mesh glove.

Bumping for Op. Which one are you going to buy?

>> No.5526329

Matfer is the best. I own it.
Made in France.

Best mandolin cutter I've ever used.

Also, Never, EVER get a mandolin with a slant-blade, they are VASTLY more dangerous.
Mandolin like Matfer with blade at 90 degrees.
Holding your fingers back you can even use your palm to push more vegetable through and not cut your palm, the same can not be said for mandolin with angle blade. Very dangerous.

I'm now imagining running my palm down a mandolin a few times
