If you're looking for the best slicer to complement your food dehydrator, you'll see you have plenty of options. Many people, including me, aren't great with kitchen knives. I like to dry a lot of food, but my knife skills need work. Things got a lot easier once I got a slicer.

Safety First!
You can't go wrong with the slicers listed above. Personally, I try to get as many OXO products as I can because they're the most comfortable and sensible. The prices are reasonable and fits within my budget. I think my OXO is the best mandolin for the price.
Using a mandolin is a shortcut that saves a lot of time. Plus, it's safer to use than knives, so you may be able to let your children help out. Kids usually love dehydrated food snacks, and this is a great way to let them get involved in making them. Remember that these blades are just as sharp, so you may want to invest in a pair of cut-resistant gloves for safety, especially if your kids are going to help out.
