Dnk Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Not the type you play but the ones you slice up vegetables with, cucumber, tomatoes, carrots etc. Anyone got one they'd recomend, im looking to buy one but most seem to be cheap Chinese rubbish that lasts 6 months.

Dnk Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 haha is it an age thing dnk?? I want something decent to chop veggies etc up with, but it needs to be able to slice things up rather than just mash the crap out of everything.

Rob Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Surely, the Kenwood Food Processor or the mighty Magimix are the objects you seek. I've found that a decent knife (global) and a board are still quicker and better by the time you've got teh Kenwood out and then had to clean it afterwards.

Tannhauser Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Mrs. T recently sliced the top of her finger off when using a mandolin - again, not the instrument kind. A momentary failure in finger/potato differentiation. It was hugely messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS. Good knife skills are the cornerstone of efficient prep. Only after honing my knife skills did I really start freeing myself from prep work to concentrate properly on the actual cooking. It makes the whole cooking process unbelievably easier and less frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_e Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I can only advise a nice sharp knife.. i.e. Global or victorianox.. being a chef i only ever use knifes for prep work. using a machine is good if your not confident with your knife abilities. i always feel using a knife just makes things look and feel properly home made.

Dnk Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Good knife skills are fine when you have another hand to hold the object your trying to cut, my left arm doesnt work after a bad RTA hence me asking for any recomendations regarding an electric system.

Hang on, talk about moving the goalposts. Now you mention you are a unidexter, we didn't have this info before, I can't work with these conditions.
