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.

It doesn’t surprise me that you were badly injured using a mandolin. I hope it wasn’t permanent. We watch cooking shows often. The cloth protection idea is a good one.

It only takes once to drive the ‘keep yer fingers up’ lesson home. I almost bought a used commercial slicer from the Hobart dealer in Toledo long ago. $250, but I was in a hurry and it sold before I got back there next time. Know lots of folks got bit by those, too, but I didn’t using/working on them. Go figure, eh? Heh!

I ended up in the emergency room with a cut from a mandolin. So did I!
Mandolin and TV don't do well together. Major stupid on my part!

I used to watch "A Chef's Life" now and then. She, (Vivian?) pulls out a mandolin for something or another, says "You have to be very careful, but I'm an expert...".
Famous last words before she calls for her husband to get the first aid kit.
It was edited for blood, but left in for both drama and consequences, probably.
I got an OXO V-Slicer, and always use the guard. Didn't stop me from nicking myself reassembling it after cleaning, though. I'm going with a more traditional mandolin when it's time to replace it.
