Product Information
Full details
The De Buyer Kobra Mandoline is an essential kitchen tool designed for home cooks and culinary enthusiasts who require precision slicing for large quantities of produce. Its key advantage is the innovative V-shaped micro-serrated blade that cuts effortlessly through everything from firm root vegetables to delicate, soft-skinned fruits without bruising. While it offers professional-grade consistency, users should note that the sharpness of the blade requires careful handling and consistent use of the included safety pusher.

FAQs
Can I use the De Buyer Kobra Mandoline for julienne cuts?
No, this specific model is optimized for precision slicing and does not include interchangeable julienne blades.
Is the blade removable for sharpening?
The blade is integrated into the unit for safety and structural stability. Attempting to remove it may damage the adjustment mechanism.
Can I put the mandoline in the dishwasher?
It is recommended to wash the device by hand under running water to maintain the sharpness of the micro-serrated blade and the integrity of the plastic components.
What is the thinnest slice this mandoline can produce?
The Click Express system allows for settings as thin as 0.2mm.
Is the pusher required for all vegetables?
Yes, for safety purposes, it is strongly advised to use the protective pusher at all times, especially when the vegetable size decreases as you near the end of the slice.
Troubleshooting
Vegetables are not slicing cleanly or are catching on the blade
Check that the blade is properly seated in the housing and ensure the produce is pressed firmly into the pusher to maintain contact with the micro-serrations.
The mandoline slips on the countertop during use
Ensure the countertop is clean and dry. Check that the anti-slip legs are fully extended and firmly planted.
Pros and Cons

- V-shaped blade handles soft vegetables easily without crushing
- Precise thickness adjustments from 0.2mm to 5mm
- High-stability design with anti-slip legs and handle

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Kobra Mandoline is straightforward: ensure the anti-slip legs are fully extended on a dry, flat surface. To adjust thickness, rotate the Click Express dial to the desired setting before loading food into the guard. Compatibility is universal across most produce types, though very hard items like sweet potatoes should be centered in the pusher. For care, it is recommended to rinse the unit under warm running water immediately after use to prevent vegetable residue from hardening on the blade. While the device is robust, avoid using harsh abrasive sponges on the plastic housing to maintain its non-skid integrity.
