What is ultimate: Definition and 88 Discussions

I posted earlier about needing the older collar for the food chopper. Well the same guest needs the adjustable thin slicing blade for the older Ultimate (now-Mandoline)slice and grate. I put it in to order and it wouldn't take it, I was surprised. It didn't change too long ago?? Well...

I had a customer at a show last week, ask if she could order the tool box for the ultimate mandoline. She said she bought it before the tool box came out. I looked on the replacement parts list and it isn't on there. I was thinking of calling HO to see what they say. Has anyone ever had to...

A friend has been wanting to buy mine ever since I earned the Mandonline. I am getting better with the Mandoline and am thinking of selling her my USG. How much should I sell it for? It looks brand new, I have probably used it maybe 10 times. I cannot even remember what they sold for...

here's another gift set that someone made on here - can't remember her name - sorry :) the great thing about this one is it has an incentive - a free product to entice people. i'm trying to think of a way to combine the super size gifts with an incentive like this one. perhaps a % discount if...

came across this in my files (i think i got it from someone's website many months ago) and thought it might be what some of us were looking for - i have not updated it - so make sure you check through the info! WRAP IT UP~ GIFT IDEAS Holiday GIFT GIVING Ideas Get Your Holiday Shopping...

I like the Julienne blade and want one to take to the UK, but I can't afford full price. Thanks!

Just wanted to share: I just received a Bed, Bath & Beyond flyer and they are selling an OXO Mandoline Slicer for $69.99 :eek: It only has THREE blades and it doesn't seem to have a box for the blades to store in! This could be useful information to share when guests complain about the price...

Now that I have the new mandoline, the old Ultimate Slice & Grate is just taking up space in my limited kitchen drawer. Would anyone be interested in it? It's only been used maybe twice.

Ok, I used my new Ultimate Mandoline yesterday morning and I HATE it! My tomatos were MUSH... What could I be doing wrong? Any advise? Anyone else with the same problem? Thanks. Schel

With everyone on here talking about the new mandolins, I remembered I have a "retro" question about using the (now discontinued) ultimate slice and grate (sigh, I just bought mine last fall and have only used it a couple of times since and now they have something "new and improved") Anyway, I...

I am feeling very inadequate around the new mandolin. I have yet to accomplish one successful slice. It really shouldn't be that hard! Am I really that challenged or is anyone else having this difficulty. Please help - I have no idea how I am going to demo this! :eek:

How are you talking about the 2 at your August Shows. Are you just demoing the US&G and saying it will be discontinued after this month? Or are you forgetting about it and only talking about the Ultimate Mandoline? Thanks, Katie

Does anyone have a picture that shows what is in the Ultimate Kit? I am signing up, hopefully tonight, and trying to decide whether I should spend the extra money on the Ultimate Kit or just start out with the basic starter kit. Any info would be helpful. I live in Canada if that makes a...

Has anyone used the "New Ultimate Mandoline" yet? It seems a little bigger than the old one. Did you see the price $59.50??

I had a question posed to me a last nights show. Hoping someone will be able to answer it. Will the new crinkle cut blade on the new Mandolin fit the old USG?? TIA

Hey! :eek: Just wanted to let our group know what happened at my office today regarding the US&G. I work for a plastic surgeon who is also a nerve specialist. We rec'd a phone call from the local ER today saying that we needed to see one of their patients ASAP! She had sliced the tip of...

I finally used a USG at a show last night, and I have to say, I finally felt comfortable with it. I used it to slice tomatoes and lemons and yup, I sold one! What I did was slice one or two slices of the tomato without the food holder. Then, as soon as I had a flat surface to work with, I...

I absolutly love this product, and I sell 3 to 4 at every show. One of my little gray gripper feet got really sticky and now every time I push it against a cutting board it leaves a little gray mark that won't wash out. All my boards that I take to my shows have the "mark" of my USG. Is there...

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I have practiced and practiced and I just keep ruinig tomatoes. Once I get it started it works ok. It is really just getting it started. The tomato gets all banged up and wants to wobble off of the holder. My last show I tried to use it and ended...

:confused: Hi All! I am looking to switch to using the US&G for cheese and ditch the Deluxe Cheese Grater in my show demos. Any tips for grating cheese using the food holder? I tried using it last night and the cheese just broke apart. So I grated it by hand (without the holder), but I...

I had a customer ask me if using beets would stain/discolour the ultimate slice & grate. Does anyone know??

Does anyone use this to grate cheese at their shows? I used it tonight for my family and liked it just as well as my old box grater. (Which is really saying something. I always pregrate the cheese for shows and only use the cheese grater for parmesan, nuts or chocolate.) After using it just...

This was introduced at the Canadian conference. I was just wondering if it was available in the US as well. It's basically a "super-size" starter kit. :)

Is it possible to grate cheese with the ultimate slice & grate? One of my guests asked me how, she has one and is having a difficult time getting the cheese to stick into the spikes..... Any ideas?

Is it just me?? I tried doing a tomato (small plum size) and a vidalia onion...did just ok with the onion, but couldn't figure out how to use the food holder with it..and couldn't slice the tomato at all..Definitely couldn't get it to work with the food holder...I even used the "Hold N Slice"...

when you have left over fruit after zesting or if you use some as a garnish-using the ultimate slice and grate, slice very thin and dry either with a dehydrator or in your oven, on the rectangle stone on a radiator works too. Once they are dry put them in a bowl in the center of your table or...

The Ultimate! Focusing on higher priced items at our Shows is one sure way to increase our party average. One of my favorite items to talk about is the Ultimate Slice &Grate. Although this product is one of our higher priced items, it is still a bargain for our customers at $45.00. Stainless...

Selling The Pampered Chef Ultimate Slice and GrateI'm sharing this article I wrote that pretty much explains everything I say and why to "sell" the USG. I'm teaching a selling workshop at Conference and am using this very information in my speech. If you pass it along, I hope you will give me...
