the description says it cuts julienne style. Is that all it does? I am looking for one that doesnt cut that style rather just thin slices

Yes this does also cut thin slices. I do recommend purchasing some protective gloves as well because it is very sharp too!

The MS-SS mandolin slicer cuts, slices, juliennes, and waffle cuts. These cuts are easy and simple because all blades are built-in and a rotary knob selects the cuts or thickness you want. I make perfect tomato and onion slices, crinkle cut my pickles, shred my lettuce and pile them onto the best homemade hamburger. And of course, the burger is not complete without those 5 inch French fry cuts. Not having to handle multiple blades is a plus for any mandolin slicer. "Always use your holder cup when possible."

Zyliss Garlic slicer works as a mini mandoline. I must say slices the garlic very thin. Lay the garlic on its side. It is a heavy duty plastic. The blades are metal. Works fine.

I would like to know also....Could it also slice raw beef? I want thin slices for a dish.

In short no. This item is great for slicing but does not have and interchangeable julienne blade.

Get a v-slicer (mandoline). I read all the amazon reviews and got one. I love it. It does many of the same jobs as a food processor for less money and mess. It will take care of your veggies.

There were no instructions with mine either. One side is for peeling the other side for julienne. I did get an email regarding cleaning, need a cheap toothbrush to effectively clean the julienne side.

Yes. One side is a traditional peeling blade. The other side makes julienne. Both work perfectly.

Have not cut peperoni, but have shaved semi-froze raw beef and American cheese you could see through and that was with the serrated blade. Have not tried the smooth one yet. As long as you know it is a home slicer and not the one in the super market you should be very happy with the 615. It will slice down to less than a 1/4" heal. I have also sliced very nutty and course fruit fruit cakes in 3/16" slices and did not tear up.

This item only 'shreds' julienne-style. So, no, you can't slice to make 'chips'.

I like it but it does chop different sizes. I used it to make a veggie salad. You have to quarter the vegetables before you chop them. Sometimes the quartershave to be cut again. For soft foods pulse lightly. I love using it to make egg salad.As far as I know, it won't shred. There might be another chopper that's betterand more expensive but this one is good enough. Also, if I want the bestuniform chopped vegetable....large or small dice....then I use a knife. I hopeI helped you....Jan

Hi Karen!There are three slice thicknesses: 1/16", 1/8", and 1/4". There is also a julienne blade.Janet

Based on my experiences using it, I don't think this up to making fries out of those vegetables. Very tough veggies seem to get stuck on the mandolin blade when you are using the julienne blades. You'd probably need something a little more heavy duty for those veggies.

It has to be used to slice into rings, which if you just cut down one side gives you half a slice, or you can cut into sections, it is not a peeler or just a corer. Love this it does a great job.

This has three removable julienne blades that have different widths from very fine to about 1/4 inch. The fine one is great for creating garnishes. With no julienne blade inserted it just slices. There is also an adjustment for thickness of the slice. The cutting blade is permanently built in and not removable. It is easy to clean and compact for easy storing. It is Japanese made, the blade is extremely sharp, and I find it is simple and functional and is my most used kitchen tool. You will likely not use your Oxo again. This one will last forever.

Up to 1.5 inches it doesn't really help make thinner slices, which was the reason I bought it. I then bought a deli slicer knife that has an adjustable blade that can slice very thin slices. Neither one is as good as a machine of course. The deli slicer's blade is not as sharp though and the wooden one looks nicer if that matters to you.

Unfortunately, this model cannot give you a true julienne cut. You would need to use a mandolin with the little tines that come up, a small food processor with a julienne blade. For a cheaper option, you can buy a julienne peeler which runs under $10, depending where you buy it. It looks like a potato peeler, but the blade is designed for the julienne cut. I hope this helps.

I have used it to slice carrots and it works very well - have not done the julienne. But I have used the julienne on zucchini and I have used the bigger julienne blade on potatoes to make French fries and they both worked well.
