Origin: A Japanese take on a French kitchen classic.
What's It Do? Easily serves up perfectly sliced vegetables, from paper-thin to moderately thick. You simply glide them across its angled blade.
Special Features: Small enough to fit in a drawer, stay-sharp ceramic blade, dishwasher safe, exponentially more portable than a full-size mandoline and a fraction of the cost.
Ideal User: Weekend chefs with all the ambition of Jacques Pépin but not his knife skills.
Perfect for: Coleslaw, potatoes au gratin and Shaved Zucchini-Fennel Salad.
