New to this board... Hello! I just purchased a Chef’s Choice 645 slicer, and it seems solid, but I was very surprised at how slowly the blade spins. I would guess about 2 revs per second. I know it ain’t no Hobart,...

I’ve seen a couple dishes done using a spiral slicer - raw food stuff, etc, and the Benriner tool isn’t that horribly priced at $50-60. Just wondering if this is another gadget, or it is does a really unique thing...

Warning – stupid question ahead... I’ve been thinking of getting a mandoline slicer. I’ve read through the threads on the board – but never having used one – and knowing that they can do a lot of...

I’m looking to purchase a mandoline but I’m confused about the best one to get. I am NOT interested in spending $150 dollars on a slicer, but I also want one that will hold up well, not cut my fingers off (finger...

I have a Spirooli, but it is breaking down and, since it is less than a year old, I am loathe to replace it with another similar item. What I would really like to find is the machine that Japanese chefs use to make the strings of...
