Forget the hassle of knife and chopping board: with the De Buyer Mandoline Slicer Viper, you can slice, julienne, and dice perfectly in just a few strokes - time after time, with precision that even the most seasoned home cook will appreciate. This is the tool that transforms your preparation from a chore into culinary pleasure.
Slice like a chef - without years of practice
Do you know that feeling when you walk into a restaurant and see that perfect fennel carpaccio or the elegant julienne of courgette appearing on your plate as if by magic? That’s no coincidence - that’s the right tool. The Viper gives you that control. At home. On your worktop. Without fuss.
- Ultra-thin precision down to 0.1 mm - Think of translucent cucumber slices, a fennel carpaccio that melts in your mouth, or potato crisps so thin they’re crispier than any from a bag.
- Three cutting styles in one device - Slices, julienne, and brunoise (dice) - everything you need for 95% of your cutting tasks is in this one device.
- Infinitely adjustable from 0.1 to 8 mm - From ultra-thin to a hearty slice for chips or vegetable sticks - you determine the thickness, not the device.
- Safe pusher included - Your fingers stay well away from the blade. Cutting is quick, and quick cutting requires protection. That’s included as standard.
- Non-slip feet - The mandoline stands firm on your worktop. No sliding, no wobbling - just stable working.
- Made in France - De Buyer is a French brand with craftsmanship since 1830. The Viper is not a gadget, but an instrument.
From 0.1 to 8 mm - the freedom to cut anything
The great strength of the Viper lies in its infinitely adjustable thickness. You don’t turn a wheel with fixed settings - you set exactly what you need. 1.5 mm for a perfect potato gratin? Go for it. 4 mm for sturdy cucumber slices in your salad? No problem. 0.1 mm for a translucent beetroot carpaccio that leaves your guests speechless? That too.
That freedom makes the Viper not only practical for everyday use but also inspiring. When you know you can achieve any desired result, you cook differently. You try more. You serve with more confidence. And your guests can taste that - literally.
Julienne and brunoise - professional techniques, now for you at home
Julienne and brunoise are two of the classic French cutting methods you encounter in any professional kitchen - but they can take hours to do by hand at home. With the included julienne blades of 4 mm and 10 mm, you can implement these techniques in just a few minutes.
The 4 mm julienne gives you those fine strips of carrot or courgette that look so beautiful in an Asian wok or as a garnish on a soup. The 10 mm version is better suited for sturdier vegetables or as a base for a brunoise - cubes that you can also make directly with the Viper. The end result? Dishes that look like you’ve put in much more effort than you actually have. That’s the best culinary wink there is.
Safety and stability - because quick cutting demands control
A mandoline is a sharp instrument, and that requires a design that protects you without hindering you. The Viper excels on two fronts. The included pusher keeps your fingers safely away from the blade, even when you want to cut down to the last piece of vegetable. No half-hearted protection, but a solid grip that gives you the confidence to work quickly.
The non-slip feet ensure that the mandoline doesn’t slide, even when you apply significant pressure. On any worktop - granite, composite, or stainless steel - the Viper stands stable. Combine that with a weight of 835 grams, and you’ll notice immediately: this is a device built for use, not to be admired in a cupboard.
💡 Cookinglife Tip: For the thinnest slices (0.1 to 0.5 mm), the Viper works best with hard, fresh vegetables that come straight from the fridge. Cold vegetables are firmer and glide more evenly over the blade. Try it with fennel or radish - the result is stunning.
Maintenance - simple, but take note
The Viper is made from plastic and stainless steel - materials that last long if treated well. The mandoline is not dishwasher-safe - wash it by hand. That may sound like a disadvantage, but it’s actually the best way to preserve the sharpness of the blades. Dishwasher water and heat are the enemies of any blade, including the blades in a mandoline. Hand washing takes thirty seconds, and your instrument will last for years. That’s smart buying.
