SUGGESTED USAGE AND TIPS (continued)
OTHER TIPS
1. Always use the food holder and wear the cut-
resistant glove when slicing. Do not use glove with
moving or serrated blades.
2. Using a mandoline takes some practice. You may not get
perfect results right away, but after a few tries you will be
slicing like a pro.
3. To prevent foods from sticking to the mandoline surface
when cutting, lightly grease the mandoline with a little
cooking oil.
4. Different foods require different pressures when cutting.
Softer foods, such as tomatoes, require less pressure
while harder foods such as butternut squash call for more
consistent pressure.
5. It is easiest to cut foods that are flat on the bottom. Trim
rounded edges so they are flush with the cutting surface.
6. Use our measurement markings as a guide, but enjoy the
freedom of the in-between measurements – which are not
marked – to allow more cutting options.
7. Prepare a quick salad or stir-fry with a mix of julienned
and sliced vegetables.
8. Prepare fruit or vegetable platters in a flash for your house
guests.
9. For coleslaw in a minute, set the thickness adjustor to
¹∕
8
-inch. Slice a mix of cabbages and julienne carrots to
make a colorful salad tossed with your favorite dressing.
