Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The French Laundry Cookbook says this is what they use. I'm a banquet cook and this is what we use. They are a great buy and will fit in a roomy knife case. Those little safety handles don't work on any of the plastic mandolines from any maker, and we have a classic expensive stainless steel mandoline that NO ONE at work is willing to use, because it doesn't have a safety handle either, but grave bodily damage promises to be far greater in severity. There is a Shun mandoline (retail 500$) that actually has a handle connected to a sliding rail that looks like it will work in theory, but Cook's Illustrated rated it at the bottom. Watch your fingers, hold veggies with a towel and use the leftover scrap for a stockpot instead of trying to get the last chip from a potato or shred from a carrot.
