There are 4 different blades to choos from to suit your needs. Always use blade guard when cutting on the plates. It will hold the food in place and keep your fingers safe away from the sharp blades. There is one for slicesing,2 for Julienne and a grater. They are all stored in a container you can use to catch what you slice since the plates fit perfectly on top of the container. Or the plates can be used over a dish of your choice. I cut hard veggies like carrots and soft fruits like bananas. Very easy to clean too. #RankBoosterReview #Sponsored #KrugerHome https://www.amazon.com/Mandoline-Spiralizer-Vegetable-Interchangeable-Stainless/dp/B07BT6CNTT
