Mandoline
A mandoline is a kitchen tool designed for slicing fruits and vegetables quickly and uniformly. It consists of a flat surface with adjustable blades that can cut produce into even slices or julienne strips. Users slide the produce across the blade surface, often using a safety guard to protect fingers. It helps achieve precise, consistent cuts, which improves presentation and cooking evenness. Mandolines are popular among professional and home cooks for tasks requiring rapid, uniform slicing, such as preparing salads, garnishes, or ingredients for cooking.
