It's a Mandoline. An absolute must for anyone who likes to eat raw food because it slices things very very thinly. It also has attachments for making matchstick shapes and very very thin gratings. Here is a list food which with the help of a mandoline tastes better raw than cooked:
beetroot
butternut squash
sweet potato
courgette
cabbage
carrot
parsnip
kohl rabi
turnipmange touts
french beans
celery
celeriac
brocolli
cauliflour
fennel

Oooh, that's one of my favourite kitchen tools too!
It does scare me though...
Mandolines are great but they are terrifying. The last time I used mine (to slice celeriac for a gratin) I took the end off my index finger. It went through so cleanly that the piece of flesh fell down among the celeriac slices (look away veggies). I was almost tempted to superglue it back on.....
Sounds a great piece of kit. I love raw veggies so will give one a try! Guess its a piece of equipment to handle with care, judging by the previous comments!! xx
It's on my list.......or at least my husband's....he wants it for wafer thin potatoes
I love it too. Our favorite thing to do ia make sweet potato chips . YUMMY!
