I’ve always been a little scared of mezzalunas and mandolines. But this exceptional Smart Slicer from Progressive is a great and completely safe find! It slices, juliennes, shreds and grates tomatoes, celery, carrots, zucchini, eggplants, cheese… kind of everything! The comfort grip hand safety guard (the only thing that can be removed) gives better control when cutting. I can even set the thickness (4 settings) of the slices easily, using the knob on the side. And the lever next to the knob flips the julienne blades into place. The 0-position of the knob locks the blade in. Easy to use, easy to store!

Sur La Table is selling it at $39.95.
