Thanks to Avital and all who responded to my question! I'm finally catching up on my email here, so I apologize for the delay. That website is wonderful, and it will help me negotiate with my mandoline....
I really really appreciate this! When I have time, I'll approach it step by step, and no doubt be able to get some nice sliced veggies, without sliced fingers mixed in!? :>)) Best regards, Ricki in Utah (where we've got the occasional snowflakes falling -- again? -- and bit of an early spring breeze!) -----Original Message----- From: Avital To: lace-chat@arachne.com Sent: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 12:18 am Subject: Re: CC: Re: [lace-chat] mandoline Ah--didn't see that Ricky sent a CC to the lace-chat list! I'll just add the following bit that I wrote to Ricky off-line, omitting the stuff that I wrote in response to Tamara's posting: >> It's great for cucumber salads, French fries, scalloped potatoes, Chinese stir fry vegetables, julienne carrots (where you don't want them grated), sliced cabbage and sauerkraut (fantastic for that because you can use half a cabbage or a quarter of a large one!). Be careful if you're trying to cut a flexible vegetable like bell peppers. They might get mushed up inside the blade. Good luck! >> On 1/29/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Avital, > > > > Thanks for your reply. Just dragged it out of the box (again)...Looks like it's a Mafler (made in France, and all the paperwork stuff is in French). I wish I had botten a plastic one -- people have told me they are easier to use, and a great asset, after I bought this one....It's beautif ul to look at, when I take it out of the box, BUT....I guess the blades scare me too much - they are indeed razor sharp. I'm afraid to lose a finger if I play with it too much. Or at least, I need to be more sure of what I'm trying to do, and how to do it, to minimize that risk! > > > > Regards, > > Ricky > To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
