After bringing home the Progressive Collapsible Salad Spinner, I wanted to know more about what was new from Progressive. Many of the kitchen tools and gadgets I have seen lately from this line seem to focus on storage and organization, making it easier to keep your kitchen in order. But they also have a couple compact slicers that caught my eye (I am Kitchen Gadget Girl, after all!)
I have an older slicer, which I use when I need thin potatoes or onion slices, but it is large and up high in storage, and difficult to clean (I always worry about slicing off a digit or two). Progressive offers a Julienne and Slicer, which is just the kind of tool I was looking for.
Right off the bat, I notice it has a locking mechanism so you cannot accidentally remove an important body part. In addition, it is dishwasher safe, which makes cleanup easy. And since it is relatively flat, I can store it down among my other kitchen tools and gadgets and access it as often as I want.
With three different thickness settings, for both slicing and julienne, the tool is easy to use. Grip it with the handle, set it over a bowl if you desire, and slice away. Also includes a finger guard for further protection.
The nice folks over at Progressive sent me a Julienne and Slicer to check out, as well as a Julienne and Slicer and Mince ‘n Slice for two lucky Kitchen Gadget Girl winners!

I am a collector of kitchen gadgets. I have neither of these…so I’m a little anxious!
