This handheld mandoline slicer is a great addition to my kitchen. It is quick and easy to use. It fits great on top of some of my bowls so when slicing the food it falls right into the bowl. Other times I just angle it on the counter over a cutting board. It has three sizes for the slices which is great for preparing many types of food. The handle has a nice grip making it easy to hold on to. I usually just hold the food I am slicing but when it is something smaller I will use the holder to hold my food. Cleanup is super simple with this mandoline. I just recently used it to slice up a ton of cucumbers for canning pickles and it saved me so much time!
