It’s ideal for people who cook for one or two, make a lot of salads, and don’t have a ton of kitchen space-not necessarily for people who frequently make gratins or potato chips for large crowds. Rather, it steps in for a little assistance here and there, when you just want to add a neat little pile of shredduce to a single sandwich, or add an extra clove of sliced garlic to an already sizzling pan. But the purpose of a small mandoline like this is not to handle all your slicing work. It can’t slice large potatoes or butternut squash, and there’s no way to make ribbons or julienne cuts.
Of course, the mandoline’s size does mean it has some limitations. No scrambling for the right shredding attachment in your drawers. And for storage, that plastic basin, along with another plastic piece, form a compact carrying case for all of the blades. All three slicing attachments fit onto a plastic basin, which catches your shavings and has markers for measuring the amount of cheese or vegetable you’re shredding. The set also comes with large and small-holed grating attachments, which I use to shred hard cheeses for pizzas, pastas, or salads. The set comes with three attachments: There’s a mini mandoline, which I use on raw brussels sprouts to make slaw, to cut radishes perfect for garnishing tacos, and to make thin slices of cucumber for a salad. Oxo’s mini mandoline slicer, technically called Oxo Good Grips Mini Complete Grate & Slice Set, has a modular design small enough to fit in your utensil drawer-and it’s more versatile than your typical mandoline slicer. But most mandolines on the market are large and come with a lot of attachments that are hard to keep track of.
