A month later and the wound on my poor thumb is finally healed. Took a good slice out – had it sown back on… it fell off… ack… and yes, I was using the “safety attachment”… its not enough – throw a towel on top of the safety attachment or wear a steel glove.

I went and spent $150 on a De Buyer… much better… faster… easier to clean… and a pretty good deal considering the $250 in copays and deductables for getting my thumb sown back together.

p.s. It takes care of cabbage no problem, makes sublime coleslaws.

I’ve had one of these for the last 15 years. Nothing but nothing beats its efficiency. I’ve tried several others, including Moulinex, and even some professional chef brands but always come back to this one. Yes it is DANGEROUS, SO TAKE CARE, do not use if you drink a glass a wine while you are cooking, otherwise it’s total genius.

Mandolins have always frustrated and frightened me. Using the handguard is inconvenient when it comes to the last end bits, and it is so dangerous not to use the vergetable holders.
An ideal solution was with the discovery of a Moulinex “mouli-julienne” “avec 5 disques” you fit a cutting disc to the bottom of a semicircular holder, close the lid and rotate the top handle, It is totally safe, efficient, portable and easy to clean.
I cannot recall how much it cost

my sister had one of those, but she sliced off a little part of her thumb. she didn’t need a trip to the ER, but the said thumb is now a teeny bit “slimmer” than the other one…(this is the same sister who got a fistful of ash in her face using the palayok…i must remember to tell her about your site – it might help avert other cooking disasters!)
