Manual Handheld Vegetable Slicers: These are usually compact and have interchangeable metal blades for slicing, julienning, or shredding vegetables. They are operated by hand, requiring the user to push the vegetable through the blades.
Electric Food Processors: These machines often have metal blades that rotate or oscillate to chop, slice, or shred vegetables. They are more powerful and can handle larger quantities of vegetables compared to manual slicers.
Mandoline Slicers: These are handheld or countertop devices with a flat, metal slicing surface and an adjustable blade for slicing vegetables into consistent thicknesses. They are popular for creating uniform slices quickly.
Multi-function Kitchen Appliances: Some food processors or kitchen mixers come with vegetable cutting attachments that include metal blades for different cutting styles, such as slicing, grating, or dicing.
