This is a set of 4 frequently used cooking plates. It can be used for shredding, julienning, slicing, and grating. With the holder, you can safely cut even small vegetables. It's very convenient for quickly preparing ingredients for cooking. It's convenient to store compactly in the dedicated case. I've used the slicer 2 or 3 times, but it's in like-new condition. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. Made in Japan, preparation, compact, slicer, grater, shredding, julienning, time-saving cooking Salads, healthy
