Thanks. I always wear a glove now. About six months ago, I was peeling potatoes and almost completely sliced the tip of my finger off. Ran to Urgent Care, but it took an entire month of daily care to save the finger. No cry gloves are now constantly worn when I’m using a peeler or a mandolin.
These are great. I have a similar OXO hand version (Not paid) . And it does the harder Veg like a champ With softer produce. older Tomato's... Yeah a Hand guard 24/7 I lost some of my thumb
Glove or not, that's not an ideal technique. Better to use the palm of your hand to press the veggies and keep the fingers straight and parallel to the mandoline. Even with a glove, these Japanese blades can still cause an injury if you're careless. And by putting an even pressure over the vegetable you're cutting, you get more even slices.
Thank You. I LOVE THE "ABSOLUTE WARNING" about the gloves...however...you scared me for yourself not using the gloves on the red onion. Why doesn't this have a thing you can put the vegetables in and run them through? Just wondering. Also, I've thought about the fact I never see chefs on cooking shows use the mandolins. Why is that? They always use Sharpe knives...ehich... if they didn't bend their knuckles they would cut them. I'm even scared/hesitant to use those very sharp knives too.
Thank you for the demo. I never thought of a glove. I love my little bernine, but I'm always scared to use it as I cut my finger a little. What brand is the glove? I'm definitely buying it!
I was cringing when she was using this. They’re lethal with a useless holder for whatever you’re cutting. A cut-proof glove is essential if you value your fingertips! I chucked mine in the trash can the other day and bought a better safer designed one.
@@chadroeder I've used a fork - but not for this brand - when I couldn't find my guard. It's okay but it'll depend on what you're cutting. The weight and size aren't really adequate for even slicing and eventually, you'll hit the fork tines at which point it becomes useless. I used for onions and sweet potatoes.

"Use that glove!!" cuts the onion without.
Excellent intro thank you.

Hmm, there were tomatoes sitting right there, would like to have seen how it cuts those.

the only thing I needed to know was how to add the extra blade and you did not show that

Any ansi grade 5 cut glove will do. Amazon has plenty of options.
What about tomatoes? 😉😉
It made me squirm....seeing the onion being cut so quickly without the glove😢😢😢😢

sorry, no.
The Global knife hurts my hand just watching her use it.

I hear using a fork to hold whatever you're cutting is a great hack for this mandoline

Put a glove on the other hand.
