Full details
The OXO Good Grips Precision Handheld Mandoline is for home cooks seeking consistent, accurate slicing with a compact tool. Its key benefit is achieving professional-level cuts like julienne or various thicknesses without the bulk of a full-sized mandoline. A potential caveat is that it's designed for handheld use, requiring a stable surface or steady hand for optimal results. This mandoline features five precise cutting settings, an automatic food holder for safety, and a clear runway for visibility, all while being dishwasher safe for easy cleanup.

FAQs
What are the five slicing settings?
The OXO Good Grips Precision Handheld Mandoline offers Julienne, Thin (1mm), Medium (2mm), Thick (3mm), and Extra-Thick (6mm) slicing options.
Is the food holder removable for cleaning?
Yes, the automatic food holder is designed to store neatly underneath the mandoline and can be removed for cleaning. It is also top-rack dishwasher safe.
How do I lock the blade for safety?
You can lock the blade by turning the side adjustment tab to the 'zero' position. This is recommended when not in use or during cleaning.
Can I use this for very hard vegetables like sweet potatoes?
Yes, you can slice hard vegetables like sweet potatoes. Ensure the mandoline is stable and use firm, even pressure. Thicker settings may require more effort.
What is the weight of the mandoline?
The OXO Good Grips Precision Handheld Mandoline weighs approximately 0.51 pounds.
Is it safe to put the entire mandoline in the dishwasher?
The mandoline is top-rack dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. However, it's always recommended to exercise caution when handling the sharp blade, especially during manual washing.
Can this mandoline handle large ingredients?
This is a handheld mandoline designed for compact use. It works best with medium-sized fruits and vegetables. Very large ingredients may not fit comfortably within the slicing runway.
Troubleshooting
Mandoline is not slicing evenly.
Ensure the mandoline is placed on a stable, flat surface. Check that the ingredient is held firmly and evenly against the food holder. Verify the selected slicing setting is appropriate for the ingredient.
Food holder is difficult to attach or adjust.
Make sure the food holder is clean and free of debris. Ensure you are aligning it correctly with the slicing runway. If storing it underneath, ensure it clicks securely into place.
Blade seems dull or is not cutting cleanly.
The blade is extremely sharp; ensure you are using appropriate pressure. If performance degrades significantly, consider if the blade needs resharpening (consult manufacturer guidelines if applicable, though typically handheld mandolines are not designed for user sharpening).
Mandoline slips during use.
Ensure the non-slip base and handle are clean and dry. Use on a clean, dry cutting board or countertop. Apply gentle, steady pressure rather than forceful pushing.
