Ultimate Mandoline: Best Tool for Cutting Strawberries for Trifle?

[bridgetbakes]

Has anyone used the Ultimate Mandoline for cutting strawberries? Any idea which blade would work better?

I am making a chocolate/strawberry trifle in May and would much rather promote the UM over the Egg Slicer!

I've never tried it, but I would think they'd get too squishy. You could always mention the UM when using the Egg Slicer. Talk about some of our other cutting tools--cutlery, UM, etc.

bring a potato and do a quick demo, talking about how great the UM is for summer veggies and grilling--potatoes, tomatoes, onions, zucchini, cukes for veggie trays, etc.

Try it at home first to see if it will work. What you can do is get less ripe strawberries and then marinate them in a bit of sugar to get the juices going and the sweetness increased.Let us know what happens!

I've used it with whole frozen fresh strawberries. Worked like a charm and no messy juice.
