I am debating buying a mandoline slicer, but I already have a food processor with a slicing blade. Would using this be the same as using a mandoline? If not, what is the difference? And, if I do need the mandoline, any recommendations on good ones (there seems to be a pretty big range on price with these)?

Thanks!

 Hi, dear kandace! Of course there is a difference! But before describing it would be easier if I knew what your food processor was. If in general, then on the slicers there are many baits, the action of which you can adjust during cutting. In the food processor, you will not have such an opportunity. This is above all. Here's to you a blog of a stunning woman (I've watched her a long time) and this video is just telling you what are the nozzles and how to use them.

You can also use video on Youtube like this video there are very well described the best models of the slicer at the moment. If you prefer a short summary of the basic information, then I can advise short reviews like these best mandoline slicer.

Cutting from a food processor is almost impossible to use if you want to have a beautiful table setting. That's just for such a case, the slicer will fit more...

If you are interested in my opinion then I have a food processor and a slicer, but I use them separately for different occasions. Slicer is salads, table setting, ultra-thin cutting. A food processor is soups, pies, occasionally salads too, mostly those dishes where all the chopped will be inside or mixed with each other.

I hope you will help my answer! If there are more questions, do not hesitate and ask
