Slicers

Which vegetable slicer should you choose? How do you shred vegetables?

The most popular choice is the manual slicer, which comes with several interchangeable inserts for cutting vegetables into different shapes. A vegetable slicer is a very simple device. You attach the vegetable to the spike on the handle and slide it across the grater. The blades, when correctly inserted, cut the produce into strips, slices or sticks of the right thickness.

An electric vegetable slicer will certainly save time and is very useful when you cut often and in large quantities. However, it is considerably larger and requires space for storage.

A good vegetable slicer has blades made of stainless steel. It is also worth checking whether the individual parts are easy to clean and whether they are dishwasher safe.

A hand-held vegetable slicer is a small, handy device with a metal mesh. Simply hold the chosen vegetables against it and press lightly – the vegetable slicer will turn potatoes, boiled carrots and celeriac into even cubes in no time. It is a handy sieve for slicing vegetables.

A hand-held vegetable dicer is ideal for preparing a classic vegetable salad or potato salad.

A simple egg slicer – one of the most useful and long-trusted kitchen gadgets

Slicing an egg into perfect, thin slices is almost a miracle: the yolk crumbles and the white gives way under the knife. An egg slicer is a simple device. It consists of a base with a recess for the egg and a metal wire cutter. The peeled egg is placed on the base and the cutter is lowered. In this way you get perfect, thin egg slices.

More expensive is an egg slicer made entirely of stainless steel. When buying, make sure that the cutter is made of stainless steel in every model.

How to quickly chop onions: the right onion slicer or onion chopper

Onion slicer, also known as a vegetable dicer, including for dicing onions, lets you quickly turn an onion into even, small cubes – without tears or discomfort while cutting.

If you want to chop onion finely, choose a comfortable holder or an onion chopping machine. The holder makes it easier to hold the onion, which you can then quickly cut with a sharp knife – thanks to our device the onion will not slip or slide out of your hands.

Alternatively, with an onion chopper (in other words, a multifunctional device for dicing vegetables) you can quickly chop any firm vegetable, including onion.

How do you cut vegetables into sticks?

A proven method is the so-called vegetable mandoline. It is a special tool for slicing vegetables into thin strips. The mandoline has adjustable cutting thickness, so you can achieve perfect strips.

A mandoline is a small device consisting of a flat surface fitted with a blade, which allows safe, quick and, above all, extremely precise cutting of vegetables and fruit. Simply slide the produce back and forth over the blade, and uniform slices, feathers or sticks will appear below the mandoline. Fruit and vegetables can be moved at different angles.

The option to change the blades in the mandoline is very useful, as it allows the mandoline to create a range of other shapes and cuts besides slices, e.g. ribbons, feathers or julienne sticks.

What types of slicers can you find in the Mondex.pl shop?

The Mondex.pl range mainly features classic, trusted egg slicers. They are compact, lightweight, handy and easy to store. A hand-held chip cutter is also a good fit for any kitchen. We especially recommend the Leifheit chip cutter. Thanks to its two cutting inserts, which allow you to choose a thickness of 10 or 12 mm, you can easily prepare potatoes for chips, but also cut other vegetables. The slicer is therefore versatile and all-purpose. The specially designed handle is soft to the touch and very comfortable, and the non-slip base ensures maximum stability while cutting. The blades are easy to remove and rinse. With the slicer you can conveniently dice vegetables, cut potatoes into chips and more.

For those who bake sponge cake, we recommend a sponge cake cutting knife or saw. The adjustable sponge cake knife with serrated edge is made of stainless steel. The knife has height adjustment so you can cut the sponge at different heights, and the blade can be set at various heights. The long, serrated blade lets you cut sponge cake or other bakes perfectly. The knife has a comfortable, ergonomic and safe handle.

We also recommend indispensable kitchen gadgets from our slicer range, such as a large vegetable sieve, an apple slicer and the classic pastry or pizza wheel with a metal tip and wooden handle.
