The Gourmet Slicer from Microplane is an easy-to-use mandolin with which you can quickly and easily cut your ingredients into 2 mm thick slices. With minimal effort you get very good results. Equal sized slices every time, leading to more evenly cooked food and great presentation. You don't need anything else - just slice directly into a bowl or baking dish. It's made from high-quality stainless steel in the USA and keeps its sharpness for years of continuous use. A soft, ergonomic handle and a non-slip edge make it sturdy and easy to use.
Since you can easily risk the shape of your fingertips when using this, we recommend buying a sled or a cut-resistant glove. A relatively inexpensive finger insurance.

About Microplane
The American company Microplane sets the standard when it comes to premium graters. By many chefs and pastry chefs around the world, it is seen as the obvious choice. We at KitchenLab use ours every time something needs to be grated, zested or sliced. With an iron from Microplane, you can grate most things and the blades stay sharp for an incredibly long time. The graters consist of small razor-sharp edges that are etched, rather than punched as traditional graters are.
The fact that etched blades work so well in the kitchen was discovered by a Canadian woman in 1994, when she was baking orange pie. Frustrated by the poor performance of her grater, she stole her husband's rasp from Microplane. As you can imagine, they quickly changed tack and are now a beloved tool in kitchens around the world.
The sharpness of their cut-resistant glove continues to be a popular product with us. You can find it here.
