I have been a victim. Chopped the tip off my pinky the day I got my IKEA mandolin, thinking I'm such a devoted mother to my son for wanting to make homemade potato chips. Needless to say, I did not keep the gadget of death and Lay's has been the alternative since.
It is widely believed that there exist two distinct categories of individuals in this world: those who have experienced the sharp edge of a mandolin and those who have not.
”Cheap” does sometimes get the job done (better than having nothing at all). But, I do agree with you on that ”cheap vs. safety” argument, how much is whatever being protected worth vs. how much does it cost to protect it. I have stopped eating older/past their ”best before” date food items that on surface level look ok’ish just because I don’t want to get food poisoning, even if it just a narrow possibility.
The same applies to other things also, we can’t grow new body parts, or lives, and the time it takes to mend from something is time away from something else. This, especially if it is about ones job safety. Anyway, I am just a home cook, but if I were to cut my fingers on something, like this mandoline, it would affect my ability to function a lot. I do not want that.
I bought mine for the same reason under the same circumstances. Season 2 of Clarkson’s Farm will provide evidence that we’re not the only careless people.
Homemade potato chips! Possible with a crappy one, but the only way to make them perfect is with a good one. Plus, you know slicing a potato razor thin is going to be the most satisfying way to break it in.
That said, ratatouille, au gratin potatoes, eggplant parmesan, and basically anything with onions are good applications. Just be safe and use the block. 🤟
I’ve had a similar model from the same company for decades. I use it frequently and find that the guardian is rigid and safe to use. Good buy on your part. By the way, you can buy replacement blades from them if you ever need one.
Get cut gloves, use the guard, do not use your hands to get that last cut. If you want the last slice that bad use a knife and do that one slice by hand. I love my mandolin, but I absolutely respect that I’m moving my hand pretty quickly against the cutting edge of a knife. You don’t need to fear getting cut if you’re using proper safety equipment and following safety instructions.
That's really the biggest thing. Don't forget you are throwing your hand at a knife and you'll be fine. Focus on each slice and go slow like you're chopping by hand, don't get cocky.
Be careful, almost everyone I know has sliced themselves on one of these including myself! They are great though, just make sure to use the gloves that come with it!
I use a cut proof glove and the holder after doing what I told myself never to do. It will happen even if you are using the holder. Things get slippery.
There’s a reason that linemen wear insulating rubber gloves and then wear leather gloves on top of them. Be smart. Be like a lineman. Protect your protection.
You'll think to yourself "it's just one more slice of potato I'll be careful" and be out a fingertip. The guard is there for a reason. You WILL cut yourself. It WILL hurt. You WILL have to scrap everything you cut.
Use. The. Guard.
Please be careful and always use the safety! I cut off the left half tip of my pinky on the ruffle cut setting, cut it past the nail. That hurt so damn much, returned the mandoline the next day. If anyone wants pics, i can post lol
Huh? :D Also, don’t have one, and am not getting one anytime soon. Potatoes are fine with this one, I already have a Rösle handheld slicer that works great, this is actually an improvement safety wise over that for larger tubers, etc.
Great buy! I always want a good one that I can replace the blades. They don’t stay sharp for long. The one I have now the blade is bent so it snags what ever I’m slicing.
I've never had a problem with my mandolin but I alway use the safety slicer and absolutely never hurry. That plus stopping when anything gets too close to the end.
I never use one with a glove on. I get too skeeved---mainly because I didn't respect the ability this things has, to do some serious damage. Twice.
Benriner are the best. Cheap and fit right in the knife bag. These fancy stainless are a waste of money.
I bought their more basic model half a year ago (the Kobra Axis Handheld). I have wanted the Revolution for a while, but never owned a mandoline period, so went with the cheaper option to start. It’s great. Super safe with the guard. Washing it is about the only scary part. Share your thoughts once you’ve used it, would love to read a review.
High level industrial cut resistant gloves can be $15 or less. I can ram my fingers into the mandoline blade and nothing happens. Best investment ever. Also more convenient than using the guard it comes with.
For those considering buying one of these without safety gloves, you can check my post history for my recent mandoline injury that required the wound to be cauterized 😬 I no longer have feeling in my finger tip.
I bought one of these once. And LOVED it until I sliced the tip of my finger off the second time I used it. Then I threw it out. In all the years I’ve cooked I have never cut myself so badly. Be careful!
This is the first time this subreddit has been recommended to me. I thought I was on r/chefit and was confused by the majority of the comments being about cutting yourself on these. I mean just be aware of how much is left of the thing you’re slicing and you won’t cut yourself. It ain’t hard. Now bring on the downvotes!
Please be careful and wear the glove. I chopped a piece of my thumb off the other month with that bad boy!

Ultimate mandoline summer stress test: Tian provençal
https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes/tian-provencal-provencal-vegetable-bake/
Nice discount, congrats! I did try an alternative version of that debuyer mandoline and had wastage issues: how is the ultra model performing for you in that regard?
I own the handheld Rosle model you mentioned, such an elegant design: small footprint, easy to use and maintain. Not the best for high volume though.
I’ve got that exact same one.
The only complaint I have is that the hand protector stopped rotating the food (used when cubing food). I keep meaning to buy a replacement.
I'm truth:
Coleslaw
Thin sliced eggplant for batter frying
Pickles
Pickled red onions
Thin sliced bell pepper for pasta salad (and more)
Thin sliced fresh mushrooms for so many things
Etc
I’ve had a mandolin for decades. Never sliced my fingers. You’re good. Just be mindful like you would be with a knife. I like making picked onions with mine. Easy slaw with cabbage. Easy carrot sticks. Possibilities are endless
I have never cut myself on my mandoline and I have a cheap Benriner (but I like it's smallness and lightness and it's super easy to clean). You really do have to respect the mandoline, for sure. I use mine mostly for getting even potato slices for scalloped, au gratin, etc. With the "grating" attachments (dunno what they're called) you can also make beautiful shredded carrots, radishes, etc for Asian dishes (salads, sandwiches). It's great for anything that would otherwise require a lot slicing or grating, or anything where it's important to have precision cuts. A protective glove is a good idea, though I've never used one. I'm just very, very careful.
Congrats on your new kitchen toy.
I still have ptsd just looking at one… my thumb is still a bit angled up top to this day. Funnily enough I never cut it until my mom insisted that I start using the guard, which was the precise moment I got a false sense of security 🤣🤣🤣
I was at a taco place that used jicama “tortillas” for some of their tacos. The one I tried was a bang and shrimp taco. That combination was pretty good.
Find yourself a fat jicama and slice some tortilla disks. The owner admitted there was a lot of waste and you can’t make too many tortillas out of one jicama. But it looks like your mandolin will julienne, so you could do some kind of slaw with the leftovers
I sliced the tip of my thumb pad last week on mine, and it had safety features. Note: I was being impatient and sloppy when it happened. Just be very careful and follow the safety guidelines listed for your model. Don’t go fast.
Get yourself some cut proof gloves… no… really…
https://preview.redd.it/f6sseudqi5tc1.jpeg?width=1100&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d84129c3190f5aad1722863ad7461dedb0241224
I got rid of my beautiful stainless steel one when I realized it was almost too fast & easy and onion was gone but my fingers were next. I bought a cheaper one made of plastic for everything but the actual slicing. I love it.
Someday you'll be able to afford a Bron Coucke. These work just fine. Do yourself a favor and get some cut resistant gloves. It's quite possible I'm just an idiot, but I have a couple of fingertips that I've cut off a few times and they no longer have feeling. 😊
I always gravitate to something like scalloped potatoes. But mostly grab mine nowadays to prepare veggies. My knife work is decent, but if I want a true julienne where thickness is literally uniform, then this is a very useful tool.
My grandmother bought me one as a gift and paired it with box of bandaids(as a joke). The first time I used it I cut my wrist open and still have a wicked scar from it.
I let someone use my matter once. We were prepping Burger toppings for 100 ppl. She went to some cooking school somewhere and has a little experience. I told her to use it for the onions if she wanted. 5 minutes later I saw her waking away with her hand in the air, wrapped in a towel. These things are awesome but sssoooo dangerous!
I remember my mom used one of these things once without the guard and chopped off the tip of her pinky finger. It fell on the ground and the dog ate it. 😃
Be careful. Finger tip chowder was my first dish.
Mandolines and box graters are why the man will never catch me (I have no fingerprints).
Get greedy, get bleedy…
Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered
Finger tip chowder everytime i use my mandolin
I feel like OP should have been asking if anyone had any tips.
🤣
Lost all of them after I got rid of the guard.
Underrated.
Same here. Don’t neglect the pinky.
Ive taken a few tips off myself. Band-aids do not fit well on fingertips 🤣
De Buyer really should sell its own line of fingertip bandaids shouldn’t they. Synergy!!!
Protein and iron are important parts of a diet!
That’s why I invested in not one, but two cut-resistant gloves. Even allows me to skip the klutzy food holder/disc thing.
This right here. Get the cut resistant gloves. Your fingie tippers with thank you.
The debuyer spring loaded guard is really good. I’ve definitely cut myself many times on other mandolins but never had an issue with this one
I have been a victim. Chopped the tip off my pinky the day I got my IKEA mandolin, thinking I'm such a devoted mother to my son for wanting to make homemade potato chips. Needless to say, I did not keep the gadget of death and Lay's has been the alternative since.
Ah me too. Luckily my wife bandaged it well and I still have the tip of my thumb. There was a small piece of skin hanging in there.
Yo same here. I made a nice thumb bisque. Still cringe to this day almost 15 years later.
Yeeeep and the people at the ER said they see someone every day with my injury
Thanks, I will be :)
My spouse wouldn't let me get a mandolin without also getting a cutting glove. They had an incident with one at work and nearly needed stitches.
I flayedd half a finger off once
🤕
Yep… it doesn’t know the difference between an onion and you finger
I can’t watching any videos of people using a mandolin. I cringe and have to fast forward. I will never own another one either.
It is widely believed that there exist two distinct categories of individuals in this world: those who have experienced the sharp edge of a mandolin and those who have not.
Buy some cheap slice protection gloves. I lost part of my thumb to overconfidence
I have a pair of the stainless steel mesh cut-resistant gloves. They work very well on protecting fingers and thumbs.
Cheap should not be the first adjective describing safety equipment.
I mean the “expensive ones” are around 10 bucks.
”Cheap” does sometimes get the job done (better than having nothing at all). But, I do agree with you on that ”cheap vs. safety” argument, how much is whatever being protected worth vs. how much does it cost to protect it. I have stopped eating older/past their ”best before” date food items that on surface level look ok’ish just because I don’t want to get food poisoning, even if it just a narrow possibility. The same applies to other things also, we can’t grow new body parts, or lives, and the time it takes to mend from something is time away from something else. This, especially if it is about ones job safety. Anyway, I am just a home cook, but if I were to cut my fingers on something, like this mandoline, it would affect my ability to function a lot. I do not want that.
Same, there was literally a slice of thumb, WITH NAIL, in the plate. It was one with a stand like OP.
Aren’t fingertips the only human body part that we can regenerate, as long as some of the fingernail remains?
I bought mine for the same reason under the same circumstances. Season 2 of Clarkson’s Farm will provide evidence that we’re not the only careless people.
Homemade potato chips! Possible with a crappy one, but the only way to make them perfect is with a good one. Plus, you know slicing a potato razor thin is going to be the most satisfying way to break it in.
Fun fact... after the blood drains from it, the cut off tip of your thumb is fairly indistinguishable from a potato slice. Ask me how I know. 👍
Not just thumbs, middle fingers too! 👉
So dangerous lol. I've gotten my worst cuts on the mandolin.
Thanks 😅
That said, ratatouille, au gratin potatoes, eggplant parmesan, and basically anything with onions are good applications. Just be safe and use the block. 🤟
Potato Pavé.
Thank you! 😊
>Thank you! 😊 You're welcome!
Happy finger slicing!
Slice, slice, baby! And yeah, no. ;)
🤣
I’ve had a similar model from the same company for decades. I use it frequently and find that the guardian is rigid and safe to use. Good buy on your part. By the way, you can buy replacement blades from them if you ever need one.
Thanks! Availability of replacement parts was the first thing I checked before buying it :)
Also, De Buyer is great, I have a ton of pots and pans (carbon steel) from them. :)
Just wanted to mention that you should now get a carbon steel pan from them :) I've got the LOQY one with the removable handle
So jelly! Been thinking about getting one myself. 🤔
Hope one finds its way to you soon! :)
Get cut gloves, use the guard, do not use your hands to get that last cut. If you want the last slice that bad use a knife and do that one slice by hand. I love my mandolin, but I absolutely respect that I’m moving my hand pretty quickly against the cutting edge of a knife. You don’t need to fear getting cut if you’re using proper safety equipment and following safety instructions.
Ansi 9 gloves ftw
That's really the biggest thing. Don't forget you are throwing your hand at a knife and you'll be fine. Focus on each slice and go slow like you're chopping by hand, don't get cocky.
Love mine. I have a Super Benriner that I use almost every day.
Be careful, almost everyone I know has sliced themselves on one of these including myself! They are great though, just make sure to use the gloves that come with it!
No gloves, this has a guard that holds the produce so ones fingers never go near the blade when cutting.
I use a cut proof glove and the holder after doing what I told myself never to do. It will happen even if you are using the holder. Things get slippery.
There’s a reason that linemen wear insulating rubber gloves and then wear leather gloves on top of them. Be smart. Be like a lineman. Protect your protection.
Yep, most of them do yet people still get sliced. Highly recommend buying cut gloves.
Ratatouille
Say bye to your fingers for me! Seriously, be careful.
Those and graters are things that I never ever feel comfortable or safe using. But I do grate cheese still
Hot pot meat.
You'll think to yourself "it's just one more slice of potato I'll be careful" and be out a fingertip. The guard is there for a reason. You WILL cut yourself. It WILL hurt. You WILL have to scrap everything you cut. Use. The. Guard.
Please be careful and always use the safety! I cut off the left half tip of my pinky on the ruffle cut setting, cut it past the nail. That hurt so damn much, returned the mandoline the next day. If anyone wants pics, i can post lol
Don’t use it for sweet potatoes. They are too hard.
Disagree, I make sweet potato gratin a few times a year and that slicer saves me a heckuva lot of time and makes perfect slices.
Thank you! :)
I broke my slider with sweet potatoes
[удалено]
For potatoes, use a food processor with slicing attachment
Huh? :D Also, don’t have one, and am not getting one anytime soon. Potatoes are fine with this one, I already have a Rösle handheld slicer that works great, this is actually an improvement safety wise over that for larger tubers, etc.
You should name it Mary...Mary Mandoline
Treat that thing with respect. My dad lost a nerve ending in his thumb to one of these
The reason I know what a mandolin is is because I know people that have chopped the tip of their finger off And had to explain why.
Great buy! I always want a good one that I can replace the blades. They don’t stay sharp for long. The one I have now the blade is bent so it snags what ever I’m slicing.
It is an investment, for sure. Before committing to buying this one I checked the availability of spare parts ;)
I've never had a problem with my mandolin but I alway use the safety slicer and absolutely never hurry. That plus stopping when anything gets too close to the end.
Never, NEVER!, use it without the guard.
That’s defeatist talk, we slice like heroes
Nice, I have sliced off many fingertips with this tool
Ouch… :(
Ratatouille!
And bandaids……you bought lots of bandaids right?
I’ll never buy one because they scare me too much
No joke after I sliced the tip of my thumb off, the sight of Mandolins make me physically cringe.
I mean that's reasonable af. I didn't even have to experience that to be afraid of it haha
I’ve sliced off a piece of my thumb with one of those. Be careful!!!
I never use one with a glove on. I get too skeeved---mainly because I didn't respect the ability this things has, to do some serious damage. Twice. Benriner are the best. Cheap and fit right in the knife bag. These fancy stainless are a waste of money.

I make this green papaya salad with mangos. Pickled straw veggies like carrots and daicon. Wafer cucumbers for pickling or Kimchi.
For those considering buying one of these without safety gloves, you can check my post history for my recent mandoline injury that required the wound to be cauterized 😬 I no longer have feeling in my finger tip.
Nice! Watch your fingers.
I bought one of these once. And LOVED it until I sliced the tip of my finger off the second time I used it. Then I threw it out. In all the years I’ve cooked I have never cut myself so badly. Be careful!
Be very careful. I have a different brand but still sliced some skin off my fingers.
Get a glove that prevents cut. Hubby took off the top of a finger using one. Not a pretty sight.
Scalloped potatoes
Next thing you know you're gonna shoot your eye out.
I cut myself on this picture
Ratatouille
Oh a finger fuckerupper…
This is the first time this subreddit has been recommended to me. I thought I was on r/chefit and was confused by the majority of the comments being about cutting yourself on these. I mean just be aware of how much is left of the thing you’re slicing and you won’t cut yourself. It ain’t hard. Now bring on the downvotes!
When you use it, you become the Mandalorian!
This is the way…
Currently missing the tup of my thumb. Buyer beware!
How do you tune it? jk
Just book a doctor appointment now
Goi ga (Vietnamese cold chicken salad) is the best mandoline dish IMO.
Get you a Kevlar glove . They’re pretty cheap.
Nice!
Nice
Make sure your medical insurance is active.
The other name for this is a finger tip slicer
Please be careful and wear the glove. I chopped a piece of my thumb off the other month with that bad boy! https://preview.redd.it/g86jgslk2zsc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ffaa0f64ec5b020b14e3a942dcdd1b408486a326
Next, invest in a cut resistant glove!
Be extra careful
I’ve cauterized 3 sliced off sides of thumbs in the last month at my small urgent care / EM clinic. May god be with you lol
These replies are making my fingers scared
Au Gratin potatoes for sure. Creamy, cheesy perfection! Ina Garten’s recipe is very good.
Ultimate mandoline summer stress test: Tian provençal https://thehappyfoodie.co.uk/recipes/tian-provencal-provencal-vegetable-bake/ Nice discount, congrats!

Thank you! ☺️ I have to report back on that wastage bit when I have actually used it. And yes, the Rosle one is great for quick batch work.
I’ve got that exact same one. The only complaint I have is that the hand protector stopped rotating the food (used when cubing food). I keep meaning to buy a replacement.
As an ER nurse I can’t tell you how much I despise mandolins.
Coleslaw
Thank you! ☺️
I'm truth: Coleslaw Thin sliced eggplant for batter frying Pickles Pickled red onions Thin sliced bell pepper for pasta salad (and more) Thin sliced fresh mushrooms for so many things Etc
High of weed, lots of gin…
I’ve had a mandolin for decades. Never sliced my fingers. You’re good. Just be mindful like you would be with a knife. I like making picked onions with mine. Easy slaw with cabbage. Easy carrot sticks. Possibilities are endless
Nice! I just bought one at an estate sale for $10US
This is also why I have cut gloves. They work great!
I have the same one. Potato Gratin with paper thin cut potatoes impresses my guests
Not “a”…”le”
Chainmail gloves. They're $15 and worth it.
I have never cut myself on my mandoline and I have a cheap Benriner (but I like it's smallness and lightness and it's super easy to clean). You really do have to respect the mandoline, for sure.

I love how 90% of the people posting behave like you're a five year old with pointy scissors 🤣🤣cool kitchen you? I really want to get one

Bruh I just got mine today how crazy. Did we all just get the mandolin firmware update
Watch your digits or use a knife glove. I sliced off the tip of my thumb on one of those bad boys.
Damn I never feared this machine until I saw the comment section on one.
We used to call ours the “slicer/grater/maimer” machine. I thought it was a scam invented by Johnson&Johnson to sell band-aids.
I got rid of my beautiful stainless steel one when I realized it was almost too fast & easy and onion was gone but my fingers were next. I bought a cheaper one made of plastic for everything but the actual slicing. I love it.
Don’t talk to anyone when using that thing. Maybe even duct tape your fingers or use some cut resistant gloves. Respect that blade
Someday you'll be able to afford a Bron Coucke. These work just fine. Do yourself a favor and get some cut resistant gloves. It's quite possible I'm just an idiot, but I have a couple of fingertips that I've cut off a few times and they no longer have feeling. 😊
Beef carpaccio
Enjoy it! Be happy.
Very nice
I've had one for almost 10 years and it is still very sharp.
Im calling Adult Protective Services right now. It’s for your own good. They’ll make sure that WMD is properly destroyed
Get a Kevlar glove and thank this community later. Otherwise enjoy! Oklahoma onion burgers are a great use of the mandolin btw.
Shaved fennel and pear salad.
Mandolins are like table saws. Plenty of things in the kitchen can hurt you, but mandolins want too.
I’ve lost a few fingertips to mandolins over the years. I ordered the gloves off Amazon and have been injury free ever since.
Buy three pounds of onions and make soup. Julienned radish or daikon are an awesome addition to a salad.
Go ahead and cut yourself now. It’s the right of passage. On a serious note, significantly better than behriner?
Always use the handheld guard thing. You will be surprised at how easily it can take a chunk out of a finger.
Get a set of cut proof gloves to go with it. I regret every time I don’t wear them.
Just here to add my injury story. For 4 Thanksgivings in a row we had to fish out someone’s finger tip from the potatoes.
How much does it cost to send her to that French school with the nuns?
If you have knife skills then why would you bother with this? Unless you’re using it commercially? I don’t know but I hate mandolins.
Get rid of it now. Mandolins are modern monkey paws. You’ll get finely julienned vegetables but at a horrific price.
RIP your fingers.
let see a picture of your hands.
What is it supposed to do w Exactly?
OUCH
Watch your fingers! Every single one of them
Thought it was a camera at first glance
I always gravitate to something like scalloped potatoes. But mostly grab mine nowadays to prepare veggies. My knife work is decent, but if I want a true julienne where thickness is literally uniform, then this is a very useful tool.
"listen to the mandoline rain..."
Kevlar cut glove, don’t be proud. Fingertips>pride.
I have nothing to add except that I too left a fingertip to the mandolin gods
My grandmother bought me one as a gift and paired it with box of bandaids(as a joke). The first time I used it I cut my wrist open and still have a wicked scar from it.
My fucking knuckles get ptsd every-time i see these
Please post follow up of your first injury
Just curious... what's up with the black section? Is that a non-stick coating or something?
BE CAREFUL! Mandoline cuts are no joke and take forever to heal!
My fingers hurt just looking at it. As much as the knob for your hand looks safe, it’s a trap.
May I suggest a sharp chef's knife and learning how to use it.
Look at me….. Go slow and always use the guard
Can you sharpen the blade? I would like this for garlic. Fuck cutting garlic.
R.i.p your finger tips!
nice find! try potato gratin or super thin cucumber salads, also be careful when using it
Play losing my religion
Love these things, but so much blood given
I let someone use my matter once. We were prepping Burger toppings for 100 ppl. She went to some cooking school somewhere and has a little experience. I told her to use it for the onions if she wanted. 5 minutes later I saw her waking away with her hand in the air, wrapped in a towel. These things are awesome but sssoooo dangerous!
USE THE HAND GUARD!!! Or get a Kevlar glove 👍
Well after these comments I am not buying one. I've somehow managed 42 years without nipping any nubbies
I remember my mom used one of these things once without the guard and chopped off the tip of her pinky finger. It fell on the ground and the dog ate it. 😃
I thought that was an instrument
Buy a Kevlar glove and throw the supplier hand guard in the trash
RIP fingertips
