Mandolin equipment

Thank you so much for all the replies. Just bought the OXO Good Grips. Love it. Not the hand one but larger . I already sliced eggplant different thickness. It has a wide base to accommodate a eggplant. It took a few minutes to become familiar with. It has won several high markings with different cooking sources.

Benriner is inexpensive, durable, and gets the job done. I have this one and couldn't be happier with it. The three attachments for julienning are great too.

Mine was a few dollars at a Chinese restaurant store - it does the trick. Sometimes simpler is better.

This Kyocera mandoline is the same model that our test kitchen manager Jennifer Vogliano (jvcooks on the site) swears by!
