Sole fillet with crispy apple scales: Wash and slice the apples very thinly with a mandolin. Quickly put lemon juice on the thin apple slices. has anyone tried using a banjo, or a hammered dulcimer for cooking purposes |

Do what I just did -- GOOGLE it -- you get a whole bunch of results. Everything from potato chips to fennel bulbs for a cucumber-and-fennel salad to red onions ... Mandolin is a machine of some sort for slicing fruits and vegetables. And yes, it's the first time I ever heard of it. |

10 Sep 19 - 06:19 PM (#4008293) Subject: RE: Cooking with a mandoline From: Reinhard Last Friday I got two albums from the old Greenwich Village label, Phil Beer's "Mandoline" and Dick Miles' "Playing for Time", and put them onto Mainly Norfolk. The unusual spelling of "Mandoline" in the album title made me look up the difference between mandolin and mandoline on Wikipedia. |

11 Sep 19 - 03:33 AM (#4008328) Subject: RE: Cooking with a mandolin From: GUEST,Mark Bluemel There's a famous clip of the British chef Rick Stein using a mandoline, where he says something to the effect that you have to be careful of your fingertips. This is immediately followed by some bleeped-out swearing and the scene cuts to Rick with a plaster on his finger cutting veg with a knife. He says "the sound you can hear in the background is a Japanese mandoline being thrown into a skip" (dumpster for our American readers). |

11 Sep 19 - 06:11 AM (#4008352) Subject: RE: Cooking with a mandolin From: Helen You could try multitasking by playing a mandolin in one hand while slicing veges with the mandoline in the other hand. |

11 Sep 19 - 06:54 AM (#4008362) Subject: RE: Cooking with a mandolin From: Bee-dubya-ell From Wikipedia: Its name is derived from the wrist-motion of a skilled user of a mandoline, which resembles that of a player of the musical instrument mandolin. I'm visualizing two restaurant prep cooks who've just returned from a tobacco-free smoke break. One begins to energetically chop carrots using this thing which, as yet, has no name. The other looks at him and says, "Dude! It looks like you're playing a mandolin! Can you play "Whiskey Before Breakfast" on that thing?" |

12 Sep 19 - 09:38 AM (#4008531) Subject: RE: Cooking with a mandolin From: leeneia I watched a video of a chef using one. I'm not convinced. I hear too many references to cut fingers, and he doesn't mention the waste that's involved because there's a good length of vegetable that's too short to cut. |
