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.
My right thumb is a about 3/8ths of an inch shorter than my left, thanks to a Hobart Slicer at the restaurant I worked at before the Reuben E. Lee.
I was head chef (at age 18) of the Hamburger Hamlet in Costa Mesa, CA, where we had a nine page menu in fine print, and a chefs line with seven chef stations, and on busy nights, seven chefs. (Broiler, fryer, grill, sauté/breakfast, sandwich, salad and dessert.)
I didn’t even realize I had a problem until the white onions I was slicing up turned red.
Love the scalloped potatoes the thing puts out, I get a box of Betty Crocker's and add a couple fresh sliced taters so it makes enough to last a couple days. The sliced tomatoes it gives are the bomb as well, I'm a perfectionist but can't get the consistent thickness of slices even with a razor-edged knife! Not that I'd measure them, mind you--but I can tell... ;)
It’s an awful device but produces beautiful things. When they use it at top speed as they do on Chopped, I absolutely CRINGE!
