Blade Types and Results

As a general guide:

  • Use the slicer blade or the 2 Julienne blades for uniformly slicing potatoes, onions, cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, celery, apples, etc. into flat slices or thin, long strands of vegetables
  • Use the grater blade to grate hard cheeses, baker’s chocolate, nutmeg and cinnamon. It also works well with potatoes for hash browns, cabbage for coleslaw, hard and soft cheeses, carrots, and many other solid vegetables

How to use the Brieftons 4-in-1 Mandoline Slicer

  • Put the mandoline slicer on top of any food container or directly on a flat surface.
  • Optionally, use the safety food holder to grab the vegetable/fruit and keep your fingers safe.
  • Use a consistent forward motion to slice/grate your food. The results will come out at the bottom of the mandoline slicer.

TIPS

  • For best slicing results, foods should be firm
  • For round fruits or vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes or beets, use a knife to cut off a small portion to create a flat end
  • For larger foods, cut in half and slice cut-side down
  • For vegetable rounds, cut long foods such as zucchini and cucumbers into 2.5-inch/6 cm lengths before placing vertically in the food holder
  • For best grating results, cheese should be cold and cut into 2-inch/5 cm pieces
