Flat grater METALTEX Profi Mandolino, ABS body, black/white, stainless steel blades

METALTEX Profi Mandolino is a flat grater with an ABS plastic body in black and white and stainless steel blades. It is made for slicing, grating and cutting julienne strips and comes with interchangeable inserts to achieve different thicknesses and cut types. The slim design suits home kitchens for preparing vegetables, cheese and garnishes for everyday cooking and meal prep.

Advantages

The tool combines a lightweight ABS frame with durable stainless steel blades that resist corrosion and keep a sharp edge. Interchangeable inserts allow quick switching between slicing, grating and julienne functions. Its flat, compact shape is easy to store and clean, and the contrasting black and white body helps locate the tool in kitchen drawers or on countertops.

Suitable for

• Slicing vegetables (potatoes, cucumbers, carrots)
• Grating cheese and semi-hard ingredients
• Creating julienne strips for salads and garnishes
• Preparing uniform slices for gratins and casseroles

When it may not be suitable

The flat grater is intended for manual use and is not designed for heavy industrial workloads or continuous commercial processing. Very hard items such as whole hard squash or uncut root vegetables with thick, woody cores may require a sturdier or motorised cutter.

Key specifications

• Body material: ABS plastic
• Blade material: stainless steel
• Number of blades/inserts: 5 interchangeable blades
• Form factor: flat mandoline / hand-operated

How to use

Place the mandoline on a stable, flat surface or over a bowl. Select and insert the desired blade insert according to the required cut. Hold the food item with a safe grip or use a holder if available and slide it evenly across the blade to create slices, gratings or julienne strips. Rinse the removable inserts and wipe the ABS body after use; dry blades promptly to prevent water spots.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the set of five inserts covers the cuts you need (slicing, grating, julienne).
• Check that a food holder or protective accessory is available or included for safer handling.
• Consider storage space for a flat mandoline and removable blades.

Usage recommendations

Use slow, controlled motions and a food holder when slicing small items to reduce the risk of finger contact with the blades. Clean blades separately and dry them immediately to maintain sharpness and prevent rust spots.
