name is Paula and I'm here to
introduce the oxa vblade mandolin a
mandolin is an essential tool for the
kitchen because it makes perfectly even
slices Julians and crinkle Cuts in a
fraction of a time it would take with a
knife and cutting board this vblade
mandolin is Handy for softer fruits and
vegetables like tomatoes plums or
peaches the textured ridges on top keep
your food from sticking which is helpful
for stickier vegetables like potatoes
beets or radishes the other nice thing
about the mandolin is how easy it is to
switch between the blades and the slice
thicknesses all blades store neatly and
securely underneath the mandolin and
thicknesses are clearly marked on this
little knob on the side you can adjust
from a slice as thin as 1/16 of an inch
to as thick as a/4 of an inch so let me
demonstrate first we'll do slices at 1/8
of an inch I'll take my handy tomato and
secure to this food holder this food
holder has four metal tines that hold
your fruits and vegetables securely
while you slice but more importantly it
keeps your fingers away from the blade
just slice away on that v-shaped blade
notice how the nonslip feet allow me to
slice quickly without the entire
mandolin slipping and there you have it
beautiful tomato slices that are perfect
for a salad next I'll show you how to
cut potatoes for french fries first we
unlock the gar by pressing on the button
on the dial this opens up the bottom of
the runway then we take out the white
plastic piece lift up the top of the
runway to pull out the French fry blade
just snap it back into place where the
white piece used to be close the bottom
of the runway and lock it into place
like we did with the Tomato just secure
the potato to the food holder with the
metal tines and push it through the
mandolin blades see perfect slices for
French fries you have to hand wash the
blades but the body and food holder are
safe for the top rack of the dishwasher
the oxo V blade mandolin is shed to
become a go-to tool in your kitchen
