Oh man I had to train a green dude on pantry the other day and we had to shave onions and he was like "what about that shaving tool thing over there" and I was like bitch nah I hope your knife skills are up to snuff cause you're gonna be slicing them bitches thiiiiiinnn.

we have lost like 4 unseasoned salad punks to that mandoline. Half a thumbnail gone and they start shaking wanna take the next three days off to recuperate from suffering the consequences of NOT FUCKING LISTENING DON'T TOUCH THE FUCKING MANDOLINE

[Anonymous No.6387915]

Mandolines scare the shit outa me. I would never attempt to use one. It's basically like using a very sharp knife but instead of protecting your fingers, you're jamming your fingers towards the blame at high speeds.

It's a hospital visit waiting to happen.

Not lucky. Your hands likely have thick skin by now, and you instinctively avoid contact with the blade.

Kitchen equipment is the real thing to watch out for. Cheap fucking folded steel. I've sliced my hands so many times on warped sheet trays, the underneath side of the front of the range, the edge of the oven, the bottom-corner of a table.

Watched my pantry guy open his arm up so well it was dripping blood on a fucking cooler door. He just brushed against it just right. Didn't even feel it, he was just startled when we both found blood on ourselves.

Mandoline? Use the 3 second rule per slice. 1 - 2 - 3.

When you're near the end of your food, use the 5 second rule per slice.

[Anonymous No.6388011]

Two of my family members have cut themselves on mandolines. I won't be the third.

[Anonymous No.6388118]

The biggest problem with a mandoline is there's 2 type.
Angled blade
Straight blade

Mandolines with the angle blade are truly the unsafe option, and generally are the cheap ones.
A mandoline with a straight blade, like a Matfer, are much more controllable.

With a straight blade mandoline you don't need a guard, you can simply hold you fingers UP, using the flat fleshy pad of your palm to hold the veg in place you can finish having sent 100% of the veg through the blade, whereas only using a guard or a angle blade mandoline leaves about 15% waste of the veg that doesn't pass through the blade.

[Anonymous No.6388284]

>>6387849

Not if you use the hand guard or at least wear a latex glove while slicing with one.

[Anonymous No.6388302]

I've been hurt way more often zesting, but I think it's because I don't respect and fear the microplane. I know to fear the mandolin, so the worst I've ever gotten was a tiny cut into the tip of my fingernail- no blood.

I don't let anyone else in my house touch it, even to clean it.

We also have a semi-industrial meat slicer, but I mean, how often are you gonna use that? Also, care tends to be taken due to the delicacy of cooked meats, unlike a carrot you want to be done with.

I really wish people would stop spreading this as an acceptable way to avoid falling to the scariest piece of kitchen equipment ever created by man.
Some retard at my old place was convinced that two latex gloves worn over each other would protect him from this medieval torture device. Guess what.
Cut gloves exist for a reason.
So do regular knives.
Use one and stop fucking around. I'm tempted to get all my chefs who insist on using this piece of shit to scream "ALLAHU ACKBAR" before commencing slicing, just so they realise how fucking stupid they're being.

I use my Benriner without the hand guard since the guard is worse than useless.

Another safety tip. I also keep the main blade incredibly sharp with whetstones and a strop. It's easy to remove the blade and sharpen it on a flat stone just like you would a chisel.

The reason why these things have such a fearsome reputation is because people don't keep them sharp so they have to molest the food through the blade with lots of hand pressure. Also don't get greedy and try to get those last couple slices. It's not worth it. Keep your hand above the food, don't wrap your hands around it, and let the blade do the work.

He never said it didn't work, only that someone told him it would work. Trust me, unless you're an incredibly stupid motherfucker, two gloves will do the trick. The one closest to your hand sticks to your hand, but rubs loosely against the outer one. The outer glove has more give, so when you catch the blade, the outer glove takes it and not the inner glove or your hand.

I would like to know this as well.

I used to work with a Tomato Witch and it was mandatory to wear one of these gloves. It's fucking awesome. One day the glove was soggy from some dipshit who didn't rinse it out after using it last. I decided to use it sans glove. All of the knuckles on my left hand now bear matching scars. I never went without it again.

The one I use does not have a blade that sharp. It probably makes shredding tomatoes a cinch, but all the better to go too fast and and your hashbrowns with a side of human skin

I used to use one of these all the time and it never seemed dangerous.

Very. You can see clearly where the blades are, and the handles for operating the machine is nowhere near the blades, so even if you slipped your hand wouldn't be cut. You'd have to be a first-rate idiot to hurt yourself with that thing.

>tfw have never cut myself on my mandoline despite using it a couple times a month for the past 4 years.

honestly, the only injuries i ever get are from pans that are too hot and i accidentally brush up. occasional hot oil splatter gets me a minor wound every now and again as well

It was up there with listening to radio milles colline in terms of traumatic experiences, and that was just reading about it while having more than a little experience using them.

Deli workers need to stfu. Try doing it under immense pressure, while you don't use it often enough to be really effective and while it is also not well maintained enough to be truly safe as it is not generally a key appliance...

Different beast entirely.

Get yourself a kevlar pair of glove you people. AB states this is the best way to keep your hands safe, and a blade isn't going through kevlar easy. Only about 30 bucks too. A cheap price to pay for safety
