No need for a pile of separate tools with this handy mandolin and grater set. The hand guard keeps fingers safe while allowing more use from each vegetable. A three-cup container holds the inserts, so food is neatly contained. Cup measures are marked on the container so you can see how much you've collected for recipes and the nonstop base keeps it stable on the counter in use. The angled cutting surface is designed for leverage for easier grating and cutting. When grating is done, a lid fits the container for refrigerator storage of the prepped food.
