Mandolines have become a staple item in kitchens these days, regardless of what your cooking skills are. They allow you to easily cut vegetables and other food items into a variety of fun shapes and sizes, in just a matter of minutes. However, some mandolines are much easier and safer to use than others. America’s Test Kitchen tried out several mandolines – see which ones are their favorites, and which ones did not perform so well.

This mandoline came out on top of America’s Test Kitchen favorites. If you’re looking for a mandoline that’s a little more simple and lower cost, I love this mandoline from Progressive and use it all the time in my own kitchen!
