Really great tutorial. I have been thinking about getting one, but have too many traumas from overzealous use back in the day. It's actually amazing how varied in quality these are at retail.
Thanks for checking it out and commenting. And I totally agree on the quality. Just like a knife, I think it’s better to get the best you can afford. A mandoline can open up some great recipes or add to your repertoire. Cheers!
Thank you for a great video! I just scored one of these at a thrift store, never been used, never even been opened. My Borner was getting dull so giving Oxo another try (my older Oxo was very frustrating and dangerous when changing blades). I love having a mandolin again 😊
Never use a guider that doesn't have an inside compartment for your hand. When you position the mandoline with the side facing you, your wrist isn't in the path of the blade. A side-to-side movement means you don't have to put on the brakes like you would with a forward-back or diagonal movement. Bonus in that you get to see where the slices land.
This is like anything else, a little practice and you'll get a rhythm down. Just got one as a gift today, will definitely use it. Saw another video and the girl said to use the thing going up and down rather than sideways. Makes sense to me, you might want to try it that way, bet it's easier.
@@IWantToCook Yup, that thing is definitely going to have to be secure and I do think the up and down motion will be easier to establish a rhythm with too. Everything is straighter about that than trying to go side to side. Ultimately, whatever you're comfortable with and works best for you is the ticket. Thanks for the video, was helpful
Not all examples on the Market are good. If you have friends with them try them out. It's not a Sin to have more than one type... I use my Oxo Good Grips Handheld the most. (I'm not paid). And Have an excellent PL8
Thanks for the informative video. I wish you had mentioned the brand of mandolin that you are using . It looks sturdy and has a stand which I think would be better than having to hold it.
@@IWantToCook thanks for the information. Unfortunately this model is $99-99 at Amazon in Canada plus $30 shipping! I’m guessing that you must be an American!
For very fine onion slices, I would use a mandoline like this. For finely cut pieces, I recommend a food processor or a very sharp knife. For the latter, here’s a video on made to do it that way: ua-cam.com/video/r9zXaYyoo1E/v-deo.html
@@adamthewoodworker2571 I do not, but for that just cut onions into chunks, load them into the processor, and press the button until it chops to the consistency that you desire.
Today is oct 30 2021 and i was looking through you tube to see if there was a way to slice carrots witthout cutting your finger off ..because 30 minutes ago my husband was slicing and i heard a very sharp intake of breath and i knew what he did ...i yelled omg lets go....blood was deep red pouring all over the kitchen floor and i was too afraid to look at his finger....he cut the top layers of skin off his finger ....now he is sitting on the couch playing fortnite...finger is wrapped in a batch if paper towels🙄🙄 he has done worse to his finger at work but still i think he needs a hospital
Oh dear! I hope he heals quickly and your sanity is restored. Please take care of yourselves - and maybe buy a mandoline so this doesn’t happen again. My best to you.

Thanks for the honest review, I hate edits, great show by the way! 👍👍👍

Yes, gravity could indeed help, as long as the device is secure. Watch those fingers and enjoy your new kitchen tool!

Aye man
I just wanna say thanks on the induction 101 vid
Didn't even know they existed
Happy to help! Thanks for watching. 😀
Great informative video.
Thank you! 🙏
YaY! Found the link for the Mandoline!
Woohoo! Thanks for watching 🙏

I use my Oxo Good Grips Handheld the most. (I'm not paid).
And Have an excellent PL8
We use ours quite often

Thanks! This one is an Oxo Good Grips model.

Yes, California specifically. That’s a shame it’s so pricey for our neighbors up north.
Hi. What tool/machine is going to be best to get very fine onion? Thanks!
For very fine onion slices, I would use a mandoline like this. For finely cut pieces, I recommend a food processor or a very sharp knife. For the latter, here’s a video on made to do it that way: ua-cam.com/video/r9zXaYyoo1E/v-deo.html
@@IWantToCook thanks! Do you have a video of using a food processor to dice the onions properly?
@@adamthewoodworker2571 I do not, but for that just cut onions into chunks, load them into the processor, and press the button until it chops to the consistency that you desire.
He totally ignores how fast they can take a piece of your finger-- bad video as most of them are for mandolins. No gloves. Just really unfortunate.
I concur. I always use a safety glove.
That's your job
Common sense. You know what I mean?
Great if your gluten free
Indeed, and I am!
