The mandolins from de Buyer are great, no question about it. However, the size can be a bit intimidating for some. So, a small and compact device is needed that can slice fruits and vegetables just as perfectly. Et voilà, here is the Komi mandoline!
The mini vegetable slicer Komi is the smallest and youngest member of the de Buyer mandolins. Small but mighty and quite sharp! The blade of the Komi mandoline is angled at 35°, so that the cutting material is guided along the blade. This makes slicing easy. And if necessary, the blade can be unscrewed and sharpened.
The upper cutting ramp is made of stainless steel with exposed waves. These create a small air cushion, support the sliding movement and prevent the cutting material from sticking too much. The rest of the body, including the handle, is made of very robust PPR plastic.
It excels at slicing with a thickness of 0 to a maximum of 5 mm. You can slice almost all types of fruits and vegetables with it, including ripe tomatoes. The cutting thickness can be fixed in 1 mm increments using a side regulator. In addition, there are two julienne blades with 2 and 4 mm spacing. These allow you to quickly and easily cut square and rectangular strips, as the cutting thickness can be adjusted independently of the julienne blades. If you don't need the julienne blades, there is a safe place for them in the included storage box.
We already mentioned that the blade is extremely sharp. To protect your fingertips, de Buyer has included a food holder with the Komi mandoline. You don't need it all the time, but when your fingers get close to the blade, you should use it. This way, you can slice the last piece safely thanks to the holding pins.
The de Buyer KOMI mini vegetable slicer is ultra-compact, easy to use, quickly cleaned and stored, and above all, very sharp. Magnifique!
