Shun Pro Mandoline Food Slicer

Product Review

The new Shun Pro Mandolin food slicer is the ideal tool for swiftly slicing firm fruits and vegetables, as well as producing shoestring, julienne, French fry and plank fry cuts more quickly and easily than ever. Its revolutionary design makes it the first mandolin which is completely safe to use. The Secret to Shun Pro Mandolin's superior cutting performance is its Shun Pro blade, the same blade used in premium Shun Pro cutlery. This single-bevel blade design is inspired by the 700-year-old Yanagiba blade preferred by Japanese chefs for producing the cleanest, most precise slices possible. Features:Safest mandolin: Food carriage attaches to guide rail so hands won't slip. Removable main blade allows for safe & easy storage. Infinitely adjustable main deck: the only mandolin that lets you custom-adjust the exact thickness of the slice. Dishwasher safe main deck: Just remove the blades, legs, and food caddy from the Shun Pro Mandolin and you can place the main deck in the dishwasher. Hand wash remaining pieces. Shun Pro Removable Main Blade: The Shun Pro Mandolin is the only mandolin with a removable main blade to make cleaning and storage easier. It also enables the main blade to be resharpened again and again. Features same premium-quality blade found in Shun Pro cutlery-a one -sided, beveled edge with a hollow-ground back that results in cleaner food cuts.

While the cost might be high, the quality and materials used are fantastic. Everything is made to last and the Shun blades are razor sharp. For those with all the gadgets, this is definitely another one to add to the bunch, you won't be disappointed. Plus, with the handle's construction, cutting yourself is impossible when used as shown.

This is a great mandolin. I have several Shun knives and they are of excellent quality so I expected the same for the mandolin. It is as I expected. I had one small problem with the main blade...there are two pieces of plastic that hold it in place in the mandolin and one broke off when I was removing the blade. I don't know if it was pilot error or if it is just a weak point in the blade. I emailed Shun and received a new blade within a few days...free of charge...no questions asked. That kind of service is truly unique and unexpected in these times. I think if I am just more careful next time it will not continue to be a problem. This mandolin is worth the investment if you can afford it. I know I tried a few of the cheap models and was never satisfied.

I love this mandoline! Excellent quality. I have only used the slicer (mostly for slicing potatoes for potatoes au gratin. But I will use the other blades at some point.

I purchased this for $300 on sale, which i thought was a little steep. But given that it is the only high quality slicer on the market that is safe to use (no chance of losing fingers).
