When making my homemade split pea soup, I sliced the garlic with our PC slicer. I only had the "baby" carrots to slice, and they aren't easy to do...SO I stuck some in the garlic slicer, and they came out PERFECT!!!
 
I do chocolate chips down one side and nuts down the other and sprinkle them on desserts. Looks professionally finished and people instantly want to buy one ;)
 
Thanks for the tip! :)
 
I just put both those tips on my FB wall! :D
 
great flyer. Thanks for adding the tip about soaking the almonds cant wait to try that. That was the first thing I tryed to do with it and was very dissapointed when it did not work.

That's an awesome tip! I always tell people that it can be used to slice chocolate or almonds for desserts, but I never thought to tell them they could be done together!
 
Thanks for sharing!
