- Used a mandolin
- Cut my thumb badly (two weeks to fully heal and stop bleeding).
- Without cutting my thumb, this was pretty easy as long as you know it will take time and low temp to get the right effect.
- Have made amazing puff pastry mushroom tarts with these little cubes.
- What should I do with the garlic?

I sliced the entire tip of my finger off once with one of them slicers lol. My finger tip never grew back normal 😂
You can roast the garlic (mostly) whole pretty easily. an example https://muffintinrecipes.com/roasted-garlic-muffin-tin/
You can get gloves that are cut resistant and they are great for using a mandolin.
Mmm i might have to try that. I love caramlized onions but usually only make it as i need it. Didn’t think about freezing in an ice cube tray. How long did it take to cook that much down to brown?
Christened with blood 🙌🙏
Yep, the mandolin is dangerous without that little hat. I did that when I was 12 trying to slice carrots. Won’t make that mistake again.
A blood sacrifice was necessary.
I always use butter so I forget that people use other things instead lol
To avoid cuts (without the gaurd) extend your fingers fully and press your palm against the onion and slide back and forth. And always pay attention to how close you are to the blade.
I love that you have the mandolin item holder right next to it with your hurt thumb.
Three cheers for coban tape instead of a regular bandaid though. That stuff is magic.
Absolutely in love with your olive oil choice!
