Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Matfer Mandoline 2000S
Customer Review: slightly disappointed in safety and engineering
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought two of these. The first was a gift for my Dad. He's used a mandoline for a few years, and this was a replacement/upgrade. He loves using it, and he gets consistent results. Nothing beats his mandoline cut vegetables for a quick saute or stir-fry. The thin strips are delicate and tasty, and even my toddler even loves them. The other mandoline I bought for my wife, though she's scared of it. To get consistent, attractive results takes a little practice. The first time I made cole slaw, my wife thought I was going spastic.
The first time I cleaned it, I jabbed my thumb on the corner of one of the small cutter assemblies while removing it. I figure that was operator error. It still annoyed me though, I -was- trying to be careful.
The more disappointing aspect is a design flaw that tempts a user to use fingers to hold food stock. The safety holder rides along rails that are raised a bit. Therefore, you can not use the holder to press food down the slicing assembly to the last useful slice. For example, when slicing a carrot long-ways, you get a rather large rind left over. You have to discard a lot of food stock, - unless you use your fingers to finish the job. But, if you are foolish enough to accept the temptation, I think you will be discarding pieces from your knuckles or fingertips!
My advice: Throw out the rinds, no matter how big they are. The device slices brilliantly. It will likely take a dangerously deep bite out of you before you feel it.
>>If they redesigned the safety holder to push down food a little farther, I'd rate the device a high "five." Other than that flaw, it's a rather fine and durable tool. Final note: The video is a little weak. They should show better close-ups of cutting and cleaning techniques to keep people productive and safe.
Description of Matfer Mandoline 2000S
Instead of pulling out your food processor, consider a mandoline as an alternative the next time you have to prepare vegetables or fruits. The slicing blade has both a straight edge and serrated edge for different uses. Julienne blades create vegetable and fruit snacks of varying widths, and the guiding plate adjusts to vary the thickness of the vegetable or fruit slices. Straight edge slicing blade is ideal for slicing a variety of foods from carrots and cabbage to lemons and potatoes. Serrated edge creates crinkle and waffle cuts, and the three julienne blades make perfect, classic strips in three degrees of thickness. Blades are crafted from high carbon stainless steel, and the frame, safety guard/pusher are made of heat-resistant, nonporous fiberglass.This French-made mandoline solves two problems posed by stainless-steel mandolines: weight and complexity. Matfer trims weight by mounting stainless-steel blades and plates on a durable fiberglass frame. Thoughtful design banishes operating complexity. (An instructional video answers remaining questions.) Like other professional-grade mandolines, this one allow you to make an array of amazing dishes, as it uniformly slices, juliennes, and crinkle- and waffle-cuts fruits and vegetables. The sizable mandoline--15-1/2 by 5-1/4 inches--sets up at a ski-slope angle on folding legs and stays put on rubber feet. The slicing blade has both a serrated and a straight edge, and adjusting from one to the other is uncomplicated. A knob adjusts the guide plate to the desired cutting thickness, and a gauge displays the setting in inches and millimeters. Three julienne blades of varying widths (1/8, 3/16, and 3/8 of an inch) snap easily into place for creating foods such as french fries. The safety guard's teeth grip food for pushing over blades without imperiling fingers. --Fred Brack
