Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Kyocera CSN-182S-NBK Wide Julienne Slicer, Black
Customer Review: Great little mandolin!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is not the most high tech or fancy mandolin ever, but its ease of use makes up for it entirely. It's not the most sturdy and the slices aren't perfectly even but they're good enough for instances when the thickness doesn't have to be perfect: salads, sandwiches, any regular, every day dish. Maybe if you were making homemade french fries or something where it really mattered that the thickness was exact, then this wouldn't be the best tool. But really I use this almost every day and for just cooking regular dishes at home it works great.
Also really great if you only have to cook for 1 or 2, OR if you only need to slice one thing for a recipe. We also have a Cuisinart food processor (which we LOVE) but it's not worth the set up if we only need to slice 1 thing. This is where this thing comes in really handy. AND it'd dishwasher safe!
I bought the kevlar gloves with it after reading the reviews and I'm glad that I did. No sliced fingers!
Customer Review: But does it last?
Summary: 3 Stars
I had high hopes for this little gadget. Yet I stand before you today with some sad news.
The good news is that she is a sharp little thing. And the safety handle works better than average in my experience.
But in less than 2 years by pet looks like a rather sad jack-o-lantern with all of those missing teeth.
But on the right hand half, it can still cut those skinny little carrot strips for salads [which I love] and garlic is good. It is definitely go0d with the harder vegetables. I like my onions diced a little larger and only tried an onion once. Still, I use it every couple of weeks, but with the decision to make over again, I think that I would settle for something either much cheaper or more versatile.
Customer Review: I don't use it.
Summary: 2 Stars
I often times don't write reviews, but I always read them. I bought the slicer and the julienne Kyocera. I cook a lot, almost every night, but I found that these are just sitting in my drawers because the device that you are supposed to poke into the vegetable to hold it while you slice doesn't work well; it just doesn't really hold it. So then I found myself holding it with my bare hand until I gently nicked my finger and got a hairline cut. When I julienne, I just use that peeler looking device; it works much better and is much less expensive. For thin slicing, I use a good knife...
Customer Review: Not Impressed
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this wanting a julienne that was sort of matchstick size and this does what all the other julienne gadgets do and it was more expensive. Makes very thin sticks. I guess you have to use a mandoline to get matchsticks the size I'm looking for.Customer Review: Ceramic mandolin
Summary: 4 Stars
The mandolin slicer was smaller then I expected, but for the most part it does what it's supposed to do. It juliennes very nicely, they aren't cheap though, but because the blades are ceramic it should last for a very long time.
