How to Slice Cabbage with a Mandoline

Slicing cabbage into thin, uniform pieces can be time-consuming with a knife. A mandoline slicer makes the process quicker and more consistent, making it useful for coleslaw, stir-fries and other recipes.

 

Step 1: Set Up Your Mandoline

Adjust the mandoline to your preferred thickness. A medium setting works well for many cabbage recipes. Make sure the blade is securely in place and the mandoline is positioned safely before you begin.

Step 2: Prepare the Cabbage

Remove the outer leaves, then cut the cabbage in half and into quarters. Remove the core by cutting it out at an angle with a knife.

Step 3: Secure the Cabbage

Use the hand guard supplied with your mandoline to hold the cabbage securely. This helps keep your fingers away from the sharp blade while slicing.

Step 4: Slice the Cabbage

Place the cabbage against the mandoline and move it across the blade using a smooth, steady motion. Keep your fingers away from the blade and continue until you've sliced the amount needed.

Step 5: Store or Use

Add the sliced cabbage to your favourite coleslaw, stir-fry or other recipes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.


Mandoline Slicer Safety Tips

  • Always use the hand guard.
  • Keep your fingers away from the blade.
  • Place the mandoline securely on a flat surface.
  • Avoid rushing, especially when the cabbage becomes smaller.
