Does anyone have tips? I just hate mine. Everytime I use it at a show I make a fool of myself. And I really don't like it. I have the slice and grate from before and really like it. I know it's a finger cutter, but I keep my v-blade on there and when I need to slice potatoes or squash, I just throw it over the pan or bowl and go to town using my hand (I know, we're supposed to use the holder), but it's soooo quick and fast and I've had few mishaps.
With the Ultimate mandoline, you have to have the perfect size of vegetable or whatever for it to work. I grabbed a tomato from my kitchen and took it to a show to realize it was too fat to stick in the holder. So, I asked for a potato from the host- she gets me a longer skinnier one- well, we couldn't get the blade to work well- and a guest was trying to play with it, but all I was doing was showing how bad and hard it was. Any tips?
I mean, I know it's got a great safety feature, but if it's not the perfect size, it doesn't do a good job IMO. I prefer the old one and cut fingers to this thing.
