I think it was completely my fault (well, mine and a beautifully sharp blade). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1053335 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 17:25:15 +0000 chopsuey 1053335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never used one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1053329 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 17:24:15 +0000 autumnlove 1053329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: eeeek, I'm going to save for later in my Amazon cart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1053278 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 17:11:27 +0000 Grace 1053278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it.

Thanks for asking. Uggh, I'm cringing when I read of these finger slicing stories! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051449 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:47:11 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1051449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a crappy one and it sucks so much, I never use it. It has a few attachments and looked really sturdy, but it isn't. I'm thinking about getting a simple Japanese one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051445 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:45:05 +0000 MrsBrewer 1051445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, and I never will. My mom used it once without the guard (100% her fault!!) but....completely sliced her finger, she needed stitches and everything. I saw it first hand, and I'm sooo squeamish with blood. So I've been petrified of it ever since!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051441 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:43:35 +0000 wahine08 1051441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I should use it more, but I do really love it when I pull it out! I use it for veggies mostly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051322 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:09:42 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1051322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I have a food processor, but you will get a much cleaner cut with the mandoline and have more control. Mine lives (sans blades) on the counter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051312 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:06:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 1051312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been wanting one but everyone says they cut themselves and I'm a clutz ;) I have a mini food processor but it only shreds really doesn't to much more than that. I would love pretty veggies for a party! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051306 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:05:27 +0000 looch 1051306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking I didn't need one because I have a giant food processor, but honestly, it's such a pain to haul out, I would like to invest in one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051300 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 08:04:02 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1051300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love mine, and use it for select chores-- slicing onions for onion rings, slicing potatoes for gratin or for fries, slicing veggies to freeze (leeks, celery, etc.), making julienne veggies for garnishing a salad. They are wicked sharp, but I just try to be really careful when I use it, and use the pusher tool when possible. Mine is a De Buyer Swing and I like it lots. I've owned several. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051146 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:15:31 +0000 heffalump 1051146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love my mandolin! I don't like using a food processor because I'm too lazy to clean it, the mandolin is so much easier. And it makes things pretty for parties, like slicing tomatoes for sandwiches. I could never do it myself that neatly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051116 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:56:56 +0000 mrs.cookie 1051116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dandelion: I sliced the top of my finger off with one too - the first time I used it :(<br /> My SIL swears by hers but just be careful, those babies are sharp!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051100 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:43:23 +0000 Ash 1051100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a mandolin for some things and a chopper (like this: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Progressive-International-GPC-3680-Slice-Chopper/dp/B008GV3GH4/ref=sr_1_16?s=kitchen&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1377776544&#038;sr=1-16)" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Progressive-International-GPC-3680-Slice-Chopper/dp/B008GV3GH4/ref=sr_1_16?s=kitchen&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1377776544&#038;sr=1-16)</a> for things like french fries and diced onions... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051084 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:31:02 +0000 Dandelion 1051084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: I use my hand mixer all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-mandoline-slicer#post-1051083 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:30:39 +0000 Dandelion 1051083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got one many years ago, for my first wedding.
