Slip slicing away? No more.
December 20, 2015
A mandoline? As a gift? To be honest, they terrify me; when we tested mandolines at Gourmet every single one of us got cut. The truth is that even nimble, experienced cooks find the super-slicers dangerous.
But my mind is changing, and here’s why: This cut-resistant glove. When you wear it while using a mandoline or benriner no vegetable is too small to be sliced into paper-thin slices. It’s the confidence boost we all need. And it’s a true time-saver. Throw in a glove, and a mandoline would make a great gift for people who really like eating their veggies.

Where is this glove available? What makes it cut resistant?
Click on cut-resistant glove and you will get to where you can buy it.
From Sur-la-table for $15:
Made of a cut-resistant, wire-free knit, this glove helps protect your hand in the kitchen and is constructed without any seams that could snag sharp edges. One size fits most, and the glove can be worn on the right or left hand. Cleans in washing machine.
I have these gloves that I finally purchased after slicing fingers along with the potatoes.
They really work!
name for the “last comments.”
I’ve thought of getting one of these as I fear for my fingers. I have a mandoline and so far so good, no cuts. But it’s just a matter of time with something that sharp. This is a good idea!
