a screw to raise and lower the cutting deck. Having this control accessible on the handle is a nice touch, but switching depths ultimately takes about the same amount of time as it does with the Benriner Mandoline (which also has...

are only in mm levels (not as handy). If I were to do it again, I’d check out the Benriner. A lot like the Kyocera in terms of simplicity and price, and it does slices, juliene and (I think) fry cuts, all in an virtually...

I have one of those and rarely think to use it. I have a Swiss Moha small mandoline, sort of like the Benriner and it is so quick and easy the julinner stays lost in the drawer. The julinner thing is easy to use if you...

I have been using the same Benriner for about 20 years. Inexpensive, minimalist, easy to use and clean. For gloves...I use a heavy oven glove when the slicing gets too close for comfort.

there a suggestion? Benriner? Would appreciate some help with this gift. Thanks.

I bought an Oxo—reasonable price, and I generally like their products—but found it completely unable to cope with slicing a raw celery root. I returned it and went back to my Benriner, which has a very limited range...

We recently reviewed a range of mandolines for KitchenAudition. The Pampered Chef model you mention was not among the models we tested. Of those we tested that julienne, the two that performed well were the Borner V-Slicer and...

Hi there, I am considering getting a mandoline OR one of the cheaper “almost-a-mandolines” like Benriner. Are the full size ones too much work to clean and use (as I’ve been hearing)? Will the Benriner do...

A couple of years ago I bought a spiral slicer made by a company called Benriner at Katagiri, 224 E 59th St. I haven’t been able to find it on their website, or by searching Benriner—only see a mandoline, which is the...

what are good brands for a mandoline? people seem to really like the benriner as it does the job effectively and not too pricey. safety is a major concern of mine with these bc i’m a klutz. that’s a good point. thanks...

I’ve seen a couple dishes done using a spiral slicer – raw food stuff, etc, and the Benriner tool isn’t that horribly priced at $50-60. Just wondering if this is another gadget, or it is does a really unique...

For the price of an (otherwise almost useless) truffle slicer, definitely go for the Benriner slicer/mandoline. The wider ones are a bit more expensive but also more versatile. Otherwise, sharpen your knives and practice, man,...

machines require a lot of input — it’s not worth all the cleanup effort to slice just one shallot. I have both a big Bron (French) and a dinky little Benriner (Japanese). In 6 years I’ve used the Bron maybe...

It’s time. I juuuust broke down & bought the microplane box grater yesterday, now I’ve decided I need a mandoline. Which one do you suggest? Bron MIU Jaccard Zyliss Benriner Matfer Kuhn Kyocera OXO Cuisinart Swissmar Hoffritz...

Truly, I love my little, 20-year-old cheap ($13?) plastic mandoline, and I use it all the time. It doesn’t take up much storage space, either. Makes nice julienne, too, zip zap. In a moment of madness, I bought a Benriner...
