Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Don't you just love Mandolins??? They cut kitchen chopping time to a bare minimum. What would I do without this handy gadget, I hate to think. I've owned one for 20 years and use it ALL THE TIME!!!. This is the one I use and replace when it wears out. http://www.epinions.com/Borner_V_Slicer_Plus_Mandoline__14___Cooking_Tools/displ\ ay_~latest_prices Which one do you like? Judy <I got chips, I used parchment paper and I sliced them thin with the mandolin..Hey that rhymes! Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Girl, someone needs to show you how to use that properly and you wouldn't cut your fingers. They are indispensible when you know how to safely use them. Judy - Beth Renzetti Thursday, May 18, 2006 6:52 PM Re: Micro Wave Taters and Mandolins HAH. Evil flippen gadgets.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Mandolines,??? I researched it on line and what I read is that it doesn't work too well on potatoes.??? It looked scary to me. Do you know how old fashioned I am? I will use my old grater or potato pealer until I find one of these mandolines at my local thrift store. Does anyone have a lot of practice using one of these things? Deanna -- In , Beth Renzetti <elmothree2000 wrote: > > USE it??

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I agree with you. I had one a few years ago, but after slicing parts of my finger off a few times, I decided I wasn't " grown up " enough to have one and threw it out. I did just purchase another mandoline the other day, however, to make more of these, hoping I had grown up since then! So far, so good. =) Christiane - " Beth Renzetti " <elmothree2000 Thursday, May 18, 2006 7:52 PM Re: Micro Wave Taters and Mandolins HAH. Evil flippen gadgets.
