Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner House Bistro in Bath was looking to elevate their side dishes and reduce prep time, as their hand-cut 'house fries' were often inconsistent. They invested in the Louis Tellier HS501 to bring uniformity to their plates and speed to their kitchen.
"The difference was immediate. Our fries are now perfectly uniform, which means they cook more evenly, and what used to take two people 30 minutes to prep now takes one person less than ten. The consistency across all our sliced veg has given our dishes a much more professional look."
Robert Davies – Owner & Head Chef
The bistro successfully reduced its vegetable preparation time by over 60% and received numerous compliments from regulars on the improved consistency and presentation of their dishes.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, carefully unpack and inspect all parts for any transit damage.
- Place the mandoline on a clean, flat, and stable work surface before you begin.
- Familiarise yourself with adjusting the thickness and reversing the blade before you start slicing.
- Always perform your first few slices with the safety pusher to get a feel for the pressure required.
Keeping It Going
- For best results and hygiene, wash the mandoline immediately after use in warm, soapy water.
- Never place the unit or its blades in a dishwasher, as harsh detergents can dull the sharp edge.
- Handle the blade with extreme caution during cleaning – it is exceptionally sharp.
- Store it in a safe place where the blade is protected from being knocked or damaged.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this mandoline make French fries?
A: Yes, it is equipped with blades specifically designed to cut both classic French fries and thinner straw potatoes (allumettes).
Q: Is the blade difficult to reverse?
A: No, the blade block is designed to be easily and safely removed and flipped to switch between the smooth and crinkle-cut edges.
Q: How do I adjust the slice thickness?
A: The mandoline features a simple adjustment mechanism, usually a lever or knob, that allows you to precisely set your desired slice thickness.
Q: Is this slicer suitable for soft fruits like tomatoes?
A: Absolutely. The ultra-sharp blade ensures a clean cut through both firm vegetables and softer items like tomatoes or mozzarella without crushing them.
Q: What is the benefit of a waffle cut?
A: Waffle or crinkle cuts not only look appealing but their increased surface area makes them great for frying and helps them hold onto dips and sauces.
Q: How do I clean it safely?
A: We strongly recommend careful hand washing with a brush in warm, soapy water. Always move the brush away from the blade's edge and never wipe towards it.
Q: Is the safety pusher effective?
A: Yes, the included pusher is designed to grip food securely while keeping your hands and fingers a safe distance from the blade during operation.
Q: Can it handle hard root vegetables like beetroot or sweet potato?
A: Yes, its sturdy build and sharp blade are designed to handle dense root vegetables, though it will require firm, steady pressure for the best results.
The Tellier Difference: An Investment in Precision
When you choose a Louis Tellier product, you're buying more than just a piece of equipment; you're investing in a legacy of French culinary craftsmanship. For decades, Tellier has been the go-to brand for professional chefs who demand tools that are robust, reliable, and built for a lifetime of service. The HS501 mandoline is the epitome of this philosophy. Its all-metal construction means it won't warp, stain, or crack under the intense pressure of a commercial kitchen, unlike cheaper plastic alternatives. This long-term durability translates to a lower total cost of ownership, as you won't be replacing it every couple of years. More importantly, its unwavering consistency ensures your food quality never falters, which is the cornerstone of customer loyalty and a successful food business.

Ever wondered what the 'reversible blade' feature on a chef's mandoline slicer actually means for your kitchen? It’s a brilliantly simple piece of engineering that doubles the tool's versatility. On one side, you have a perfectly flat, sharp edge for creating standard, smooth slices – think classic potato crisps or elegant slices of tomato. But with a quick flip of the blade block, you engage the other side: a crinkle-cut edge. This is what creates those attractive waffle cuts on potatoes or ridged slices of courgette and carrot that look fantastic and hold sauces beautifully. Think of it like having two specialist knives in one. It's the ability to switch from making elegant dauphinoise potatoes to rustic, crinkly veg crisps in a matter of seconds, all without needing a separate machine. It's pure, practical efficiency.
