Stalgast Grater Mandoline-2 for Precision Slicing

A grater mandoline slices vegetables into even, paper-thin sheets without crushing the cell walls. The blade is fixed at a shallow angle, so the food slides over it under hand pressure. As the edge passes, it shears off a slice of the set thickness; the operator's push controls the speed, not the cut. This method keeps the slices uniform, which is essential for even cooking and presentation in dishes like gratins, salads and garnishes.

To use the Grater Mandoline-2, place it on a stable worktop. Adjust the slice thickness between 0.5 mm and 0.9 mm by turning the calibrated dial. Hold the food against the safety guard and slide it down the ramp; the blade cuts each pass in one stroke. Repeat until the batch is finished, then lift the guard to clear the blade.

The unit is built as a single block of food-safe plastic with a stainless-steel blade embedded. The ramp and guard are moulded in one piece for rigidity, and the dial is marked in millimetres for quick setting.

The 400 mm length gives enough runway for long vegetables such as courgettes and cucumbers, while the 170 mm width keeps it within a standard worktop footprint. At 135 mm high, it stores easily in a drawer or cupboard.

Cleaning follows from the construction: remove the blade assembly and wash it under running water, then wipe the plastic body with a damp cloth. The blade is sharp, so use a brush, not fingers, to clear trapped fibres.

The Grater Mandoline-2 is listed in the Stalgast catalogue under manual vegetable preparation tools.
