Mandoline Reviews/Recommendations - BarbaraS - 11-28-2011 Hey All, I'm thinking of replacing my plastic Borner slicer with a mandoline. Any recommendations would be really helpful. Barbara Re: Mandoline Reviews/Recommendations - luvnit - 11-28-2011 I can't even look at a mandoline without thinking about missing the tip of my middle finger on my right hand. My recommendation... Use the guard. Always. Re: Mandoline Reviews/Recommendations - Old Bay - 11-28-2011 We have a Matfer stainless steel mandoline and have used it for 10 years with one minor cut. I do have a Forschner"Knifeshield", cut proof, but not punctureproof, glove, so you still need extra care with hashbrowns. I always use it. I love my mandoline. We get our gloves at Wm Sonoma and Sur La Tables. Re: Mandoline Reviews/Recommendations - labradors - 11-29-2011 Maybe you should get one from Captain Corelli. LOL1 Re: Mandoline Reviews/Recommendations - Lorraine - 11-29-2011 Here's another vote for Matfer. Re: Mandoline Reviews/Recommendations - cjs - 11-29-2011 I also have the Mafter and I use a glove all the time. Love it. Re: Mandoline Reviews/Recommendations - pjcooks - 11-29-2011 I also have a Mafter. Never had the gloves, just do the ends of the veg by hand. I'm sure I told you all my Mr. Picky and the mandolin story PJ Re: Mandoline Reviews/Recommendations - BarbaraS - 11-29-2011 Thanks for the suggestions!! I looked up Mafter on amazon.com and they have a lot of models. I'm still vacillating. And yes, I almost chopped off the tip of my thumb one Thanksgiving when not using the slice guard. Barbara Re: Mandoline Reviews/Recommendations - pjcooks - 11-29-2011 The first time I used mine, I sliced off a bit of my thumb (hello, Laura!) Still don't use the guard but am very careful. Gloves are something to look into. PJ Re: Mandoline Reviews/Recommendations - luvnit - 11-29-2011 Quote: Yes, I would consider gloves. I was at Good Will today and thought of this thread. They were selling a beautiful looking Mandoline. with the 'V'. I almost bought it. Now I wish I had. If I ever do, gloves will be on the top of the list! |
