Restaurant supply stores carry the real sturdy stainless steel mandolines.

Williams Sonoma has a good one.

Try using a Kevlar glove. You can get them fairly inexpensively (Amazon) and food grade.

It’s a great show and if you can snag their cookbooks, you’ll be in Heaven!

Hubby and I just got their "Cooking For Two" cookbook. It arrived yesterday, so haven't tried it out, yet, but we're excited about it. I still haven't completely mastered paring down from cooking for a family, and Hubby gets a little tired after he's eaten the same leftovers a third or fourth time.

Hubs bought the meat grinding attachment for grinding our own hamburger.

He likes ribeye steak with a pound of bacon added.

The pasta attachment would be nice.

I have one of those deals you bolt to a tabletop.

I am so mad because the current begathon (love that phrase) has taken off my beloved Sunday treat, “Death in Paradise,” & no Luther fix on Saturday.

Is this his last season? I think they’re on Season 16, now. Good, long run. Off to other things. Happens to us all...except we usually don’t have anything to sell that Conde-Nast wants to buy!

You can get those a lot of places, including Amazon and Gardener’s Supply. GS seems to have the best offering of sizes.

miss marmelstein :" I’ve often told the story of my husband’s private club that on Thanksgiving Day were surprised by the health inspectors.
They espied two turkeys on a board waiting to be carved and made the chef throw it out for no good reason."

Chances are that the meat was "resting", to re-absorb the natural juices.
If the health inspectors find meat(protein) even one degree cooler than permissible , they order it destroyed immeditely.
They adhere to their rules and regulations, and there is no appeal to their decisions.
And god help you if you argue with them; they are like Storm Troopers.
So I think the culinary school is prepping you in accordance to the rules of the State Health Dept. Gestapo.

I know what they’re prepping me for; what I always do is joke about the regulations that tied our lives up in red tape.

I can’t remember if the turkeys were coming out of the fridge or out of the oven, actually. I do know those regulators destroyed food. And in my Catholic unbringing: that is a sin.

My grandfather had a meat grinder & would make the most delicious homemade ham salad. He put in sweet pickle relish, so it had that touch of sweetness. On soft white bread it was a real treat for everyone.

Okay. My gadgets are extremely low key: I mentioned it before, the silicone waffle baker. Got it from my Avon lady. 4 rectangles, oil them w/ my hands & spoon in waffle batter. I did blueberry & they were amazing! It is so fuss free & they pop right out. I had low hopes & was thrilled with the results.

My Kroger rubber dishwashing gloves. I put cream allover my hands & nails & when I finish doing my dishes I’ve had a mini manicure!

I ended up in the emergency room with a cut from a mandolin. It’s a great device but you have to be so careful. On the Food Network, they slice using a cloth as a protection.

Amazon listing for Mandolin slicers pairs it with cut-resistant gloves

I’ll have to get a pair! I just hate that particular device. I bleed all over the floor and then had to drive myself to the emergency room.

I bled.

Today has been a stellar day in incorrect tenses.

Yep, 2016 is it.

Wouldn’t cry too much, since he didn’t on his way to the bank.

And, except for the new producer, they’re bringing up the second string, rather than going outside for hosts.

Here’s one of a number of articles on it.

Thanks. I just had my goofy-looking uniform tailored slightly so I’m not a complete embarrassment!

The rest of the crew is so engaging, it will still be a great show. I especially like the guys who do the food tasting and equipment testing.
