Thank you for showing me this. I'm thinking about buying a mandolin slicer but I have cerebral palsy so I needed to be really safe because I'm not super coordinated. Thank you for showing me his promise and pitfalls.
Thank you! I’ve had my as a gift for over a year and didn’t know how to use it to its full advantages because the directions were abysmal to say the least. Now I’m full of confidence and indeed the safety issues are important!
Thank you for the video. I purchased one at Costco and the instruction book was terrible. Box referred me to web site, web site couldn't find product, customer service said I was at wrong site, had to call an 800 number, no one answered 800 number...see where Im going here? Unbelievable for KitchenAid. You saved my life, thank you, great video.
I just bought this from the thrift store and could not make sense of the directions. Because I watched this video I now know how to make it work! I put the blade in but it was too tall! You taking the "main blade" off showed me how this is done but it says nothing of removing anything so the blade will fit! I hate it when the instructions are not well-written enough to be helpful. Thank you for helping me!
Thank you for doing this video - the instructions that came with this Mandoline were almost non existent. I watched your video and now feel confident that I can start using it without hurting myself. Good job!
Thank you. It's good to see it in action. You could cut the zucchini in half to get a flat side when slicing long ways. This is what I plan to do as I bought this for that purpose.
These blades are super sharp so always use the hand-held safety guard. I tried slicing a rather tall potato without using the hand-held safety guard because I thought my hand was far enough from the blade. Anyway, the potato slipped and I wound up slicing the tip of my finger off. There was blood everywhere and I could not stop the bleeding and had to go to the hospital emergency room. I am right handed and it was the tip of the ring finger of my right hand that got sliced off. I basically had to do everything left handed for the next 6 weeks. Moral of the story - always use the hand-held safety guard no matter how tall the vegetable.
Thank you so much for you demonstration of the Kitchen Aid Mandoline slicer. I somehow lost the instructions. I should have watched your demo first before using the product and I would not have sliced my thumb. It was so painful but I must say that before the cut incident I was enjoying the cucumber slices.. again I say, Thank you from St. Paul, MN -Joy Always, Gwen
thanks for showing us how. Wonder why my slicer came with 3 blades only and no bowl at all. I ordered from amazon. The slicing blade is so sharp giving me goosebump :)
Excellent Video -- This video proves 2 points I saw while using this slicer -- First, with items like carrots it is easier to use it without a guard and with your hands. Given the sharpness of this blade (pretty much razor), I agree with the presenter that its very dangerous and totally NOT recommended to use the slice like this BUT it was so inconvenient and clumsy to use the guard and the holder with smaller items. Second, to be safe (and with this thing I definitely recommend it), you need to make sure the food fits in the holder. The drawback is that as you saw there appears always to be small pieces that are wasted at the end (of course you can cut these up by hand)
I have a question and a comment. How does it work for tomatoes? Is it share enough to make nice slices, or does it just squish them? Also, with something like a carrot or zucchini, couldnt you just cut the zuchinni in half and put the two chunks in the holder so that it's not so long and that way you can still use the holder/guard and be safe?
My mother has bought one with not all the parts and we're currently trying to solve how to use it with cabbage if possible could you do a follow-up video with some other vegetables along with cabbage please I'm scared whenever she uses it
Wished you would have showed a slice of one vegetable at all the different thickness. Laid them side by so we could see the difference. I said the thickness but I needed to see them. Otherwise your presentation was really informative.

:) I don't know about saving your life but Thank you !:)
That was a great presentation - very organized and helpful. Thank-you so much Mr Vanna! 😃😍😄
This was very helpful!!!! I actually made French fries for the very first time, and I have had my KitchenAid mandoline for 10+ years!
It is always better to buy the best quality the 1st time. We get the French Bron Mandolines , they last for decades ; chefdepot.net/mandoline.htm
Thank you I found a used one with no instructions this helped me figure how to use is! thanks

+Jules S Thank you.
Thank you! I bought one used off of FB and couldn't figure out how to change the blades. Trying my first set of french fries! Thank you!

They sell Kevlar gloves for mandoline slicer use. It'll protect your entire hand.
luckysmusic thanks
thanks! I was like, ñee i'm gonna use my hands like a boss, but your story just persuade me :O
You did a nice job. Thank you.
Самый лучший обзор овощерезки!!! Браво!!! Огромное спасибо!! 👍👍 Привет из России. Удачи вам!!!
:) Spasibo !
You can also use a blade glove in your demonstration I don’t like safety device either
Thank you, worked for me!
Thank you. Was extremely helpful.
Excelente explicación!!!

he had the delux model...
just got it in a yard sale, don't know how to remove the blades, thanks!
thank you for your video
I didn't notice that I was missing a grader blade .
I had no idea how to remove n change blades either.
only the delux comes with a grader...
Same

Please do not waste the nubbins/ends. I put them in a zip-lock bag & freeze to save for use when I make soup or broth.
Very useful information about changing the blades, thank you,
Glad it was helpful!
I brought this but did not get those bowls🤔
what is the easiest way to clen the blades
I have a question and a comment. How does it work for tomatoes? Is it share enough to make nice slices, or does it just squish them?

I would say if it is a firm tomato you could, but not if it’s soft
My mother has bought one with not all the parts and we're currently trying to solve how to use it with cabbage if possible could you do a follow-up video with some other vegetables along with cabbage please I'm scared whenever she uses it
Thank you. Instructions from box useless and this is the only how to video I could find. Kitchen Aid should do better.

Thank you :)
where did you buy that one .
+Margarita Meza bed bath and beyond
Check this Mandoline Slicer Set on Amazon.
www.amazon.com/dp/B0711XDP2J
Blade guard? Is that a joke?
TFS :) but it has no crinkle cutter blade...very disappointing.
Did it loose its sharpness?
no, works same .
knives dull making contact w/ work surface.
mandoline blades don't.
Read directions or you can cut your finger off,safety first.....
swissmar borner is much better
piece of junk. you can't cut it sideways like for French fries
Bought one off Amazon, missing bowls and grater. Dangerous and inconvenient, don't recommend it.
