I've wanted one for years and have always been too scared. I decided to treat myself to a Benriner mandoline for Christmas. Besides potato chips, what should I make next?
I'm really enjoying cooking with veggies thinly sliced with my mandoline. But as it's dulling I'm realizing that I'm going to have to purchase a whole new thing! I really hate the thought of these as completely disposable. Does anyone have a slicer that can be sharpened that they recommend?
So, just wondering if any has already tried this and can encourage/discourage meβ¦
I want to make sandwich cookies. Iβve done them by rolling out/cutting, balls/cookie embosser, slice/bake, but Iβd like them to be thinner. Otherwise I end up with a too-sturdy, too-thick sandwich.
Iβm making the KAF maple sandwich cookies and they are too rich/sweet if they are too big.
So, I was wondering about freezing the log and then slicing with my mandoline. Anyone try this?
Edited to update: thanks for your suggestions. Rolling thinner is probably the best choice, but I want to believe thereβs an easier way.
Iβm one of those people where part of the fun of cooking is trying to figure out how to use the least amount of dishes possible. Clean as I go, etc.
I was given a mandoline for my birthday and Iβd like to hear from you when you decide to use it. Whatβs the tipping point where it becomes more efficient to pull it out and then clean it vs just putting the time in with the knife? Instances where you need to use it because itβs required for the recipe?
Thanks!
Going to be preparing a lot of salads for the foreseeable future.
There seem be three gadgets that are commonly recommended: mandolines, those pull grinders (pull a string and make a rotary grinder move), and finally those folding contraptions whereby you lever a cubed grate onto what you're cutting.
I tend to do a lot of cucumber, tomato, pepper, and feta based salads. Which gadget will prove the most useful?
Hi, I'm about to buy a new mandoline, after 2 days of research found the Benriner brand as the most recomended but still not decide if the new model with their hook for bowls is better than the old model, some people says that the old one's metal screws vs the plastic ones of the new model. Wich one is better for you? Thanks for your advices ππ
Got myself a new fancy red mandoline (super sharp) and wondering what your favorite uses are? I'm thinking pickled red onions and some thin sliced garlic(?)
