They have limited use and don't work all that well. We bought one back then but eventually tossed it. Only thing it did was cut potatoes for French fries and that took some effort to push through the blades. Invest in a good chef's knife and learn how to use it. It is just as fast once you learn how. |

Spot on - I keep my knives sharp because we all know it's the dull knife that cuts. Broke that rule, when I had my left hand/wrist in a cast I tried to chop a garlic clove - I never even felt my razor sharp knife cut me, just wondered what was stopping it - as in my bone lol |

I used mine to grate a giant block of Cabot New York Sharp Cheddar Cheese the other day. Took me five minutes to fill a gallon sized Ziplok bag. I plan to use the Cheese to make Tuna Cheddar Spread.

We have taken my daughter's boyfriend to the hospital several times for finger cuts. He's a chef so he has a problem with staying away from those sharp things. |

I avoid gadgets like this and prefer a knife. I bought an expensive SS mandolin and I think I've only used the thing once in 7 years ![]() |

It would be great to have some kitchen lackey cut up the stuff that needs cutting up and let me do the cooking but nobody has applied for the job yet. |

I think those expesnive French mandolines are probably great for a commercial kitchen, where a dedicated dishwasher always makes sure it's clean and all the food prep staff can use it all the time. They can afford to keep them sharpened and well maintained. Fer yer home kitchen, buy a good knife. ![]() nb |

I find a good knife is simpler/better and easier to clean (as you say). I have an aversion to kitchen 'gadgets', all they seem to do is clog up your cupboards and lighten your wallet ![]() I probably have a few things here that qualify as a gadget, but not many. |

A couple years ago my wife bought be a fancy schmancy mandolin. It was a surprise. I tried it a few times. It was a lot more work to set up, more work to use, more work to clean and it took up a lot more storage space. I don't even know where it is anymore, but I still occasionally use the cheap one, I usually just use a knife. |

I'd have omited that salt and doubled/tripled the black pepper... needs parsley too... and a bit of finely minced celery and onion. I like sweet relish but not with tuna, a 1/2 cup is a lot, I'd omit that altogether. In fact I'd use Hellmann's sandwich spread rather than plain mayo, then you'd have your relish. http://www.hellmanns.com/product/det...andwich-spread https://www.amazon.com/Hellmanns-San...andwich+spread |

Chefs always say that you'd better cut yourself with a sharp knife than with a blunt one. Maybe sharp knives make for cleaner amputations. |

Dull knives have trouble > cutting where the are supposed to and slip off in the wrong direction, > and that is where the bad cuts happen. When I said I use somewhat dull knives often, they aren't that dull where the blade slips off of the food. Again, it's only been when I just stone the knives to razor sharp. They cut faster than I'm used to and have caused injury. I've learned to cut slower and really pay attention with the newly sharpened ones. That's all. As I said, you get used to a certain sharpness.....be careful when you change that factor. |
