Re: (...)
What do you use for those really thin sliced onions etc.??
I have a madolin but it seems as though I waste half of it with BIG chunks--and I'm afraid that I will take off my fingertip---even though I use the guard!!
Any suggestions for this supposed miracle slicer??

There is a glove I wear--really makes me more comfortable--ask your retailer about it.

I leave as much of each end of the onion as I can - just really kind of clean it off; then I cut it in half horizontally and start cutting large (cut side) down, then when it's too thin to do much more you just really have root. I can't use the gloves - they seem to get in my way. I use the guard, maybe it just takes practice so you're more comfortable w/the machine.

Thanks for the advice---I will try that next time. I did it the really amateur way--see, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!!!
