Have you ever used a mandoline before? And if you haven’t, do you think you’ll get one of these? Because it really, really helps to make your food prep much quicker, much more efficient, especially if you’re going to be doing a lot of julienning, slicing vegetables, or even just doing oven fries like me. Now, let’s talk about some of the pros and cons, and then I’ll go into some of my tips for using this as well. It’s all made of stainless steel for the most part, except for the housing, which is plastic. That’s essentially it in terms of the features. There are two rows of them and this will help you to get nice thin cuts of vegetables, especially if you’re trying to do oven fries like me. That’s what the blades are but for your vegetables. You switch the level on the bottom, you could see the blades pop up, like when you have a parking lot, and there are those little tire puncture things that come up to prevent you from going in that way. But if you did want to add some julienning power, you can do that then. When you open the lower part up, it is going to give you the waffle pattern, which as I said, I haven’t had too much success with. And then you can actually lift it up as well to help you clean. You have to be very careful because the blade is super sharp. You can see as you adjust the thickness, that the blade decreases or the top part decrease and it raises up when you make it thinner and then it goes down to make it a thicker cut. I’m not sure I’d recommend it if that’s what you’re going for but in terms of regular fries like julienning vegetables or carrots, you can do that as well. And then there are also different patterns, you can do like a criss-cross, kind of like a waffle or a criss-cut fry, French fry, which I haven’t had too much success with. ![]() In terms of the functions that this thing has, there are several thicknesses of the slice so you can do a super thin slice like paper thin, or you can do a little bit thicker. Not just the handguard, but this actual plastic piece right here will come off, especially if you’re going really quickly. But you’ve got to be careful because sometimes the handguard comes loose and the whole thing will actually come off. And if your hand is on top of the handguard, you’re never gonna cut yourself. But I still usually hold the handle while I am slicing just so it doesn’t go all over the place.Īnd the second thing is that it has this handguard that helps to keep your hands safe. One is that it has these rubber pads, which help prevent the device from slipping on your counter. This one is good because it comes with a few features that others didn’t. And if you haven’t used one of these before or any type of mandoline, all it does is slice. So the PL8 mandoline here that I have is basically a specialized device that’s going to help you cut your vegetables, as I mentioned. I’m going to be giving a few of my pros and cons for this device as well as some of my tips for using it, so stay tuned. ![]() That’s what we’re going to be talking about today with the PL8. And that was before I looked into and discovered the practicality and the efficiency of a mandoline. And what I used to do when I made oven fries was manually by hand, using a knife, cutting the potato into little strips, which is super labor-intensive, but I did it. One of the reasons why I got this PL8 professional mandoline was specifically to make oven fries with potatoes. ![]()
