… please, give me a moment to mourn the greatest kitchen tool ever invented.
Can a bother get an ‘AMEN’? All hail the greatest kitchen tool I have stumbled blindly across. I have an OLD model I got off Craig’s list, and it is the bomb-diggity, even though it has some ‘issues’ that we have to live with (like a gently bent axle). get one, and you will love it:
PROS: fast vegetable processing
consistent slicing by unskilled laborers (cannot be overstated)
easy of cleaning
adjustable thickness gives exceptional flexibility
Portable from one station to another
Parts are easy to find
Can get various styles of blades
Shredding blade will rock through some cheese
Company with long and storied track record of manufacturing and service
Easy to resell if you have some reason to unload it . . . real easy . . . I’d buy another one.
CONS:
Blades do tend to dull with careless handling
best to wash/rinse immediately and carefully by hand
can be a little awkward finding a storage location
Price is a little steepish at nearly $400 unless you find a good discount
