The hand-held slicer can also be used over a pan or bowl to add ingredients on the fly. If you miss the julienne settings offered on the full-sized OXO mandoline, make your slices then cut veggies into thin juliences or matchsticks. The OXO full-sized mandoline slicer is a well-loved tool and the the hand-held slicer is bound to be popular too. On a recent Food Talk, Michael Colameco and Chris Campbell of Cook’s Illustrated commiserated on the treachery of the old-school mandoline and spoke about the OXO mandoline as a gift from the gods.
