The links look slightly gray to me, and I do have poor eyesight.

Sounds like alot of options on the mandoline. I'll probably start with one of the less expensive ones and move up to the Bron if I find I use it enough for the bigger investment. Since I hatehatehate to clean my FP, I'd probably love a mandoline for slicing. I will invest in a glove. I think I'll use the $$$ Santa left for me and pick one up soon.

Ah ha, Pete. Yes, with close scrutiny, I can see that the link is just ever so slightly bolded in contrast to the rest of the text. My sight is pretty good but this is extremely subtle. I wonder if the lack of contrast is due to Firefox settings as I just began to use that instead of IE. I guess I was looking for it to come up in a different color or underscored, obviously set off.

Thanks for setting me straight. Glad to know I actually did it

Good luck with the new mandoline, Trink. Let us know how it goes.

I love my Bron even tough I don't use it that much. I tried an inexpensive v-slicer prior to getting the Bron. All it took was my slicing a bit (very tiny) of my pinkie while attempting to slice a potatoe without using the guide.

BTW. I now use a slicing glove even with the Bron & it's very safe guide.

Word to the wise is take care, these are very shape & once you get into slicing, it becomes a fast and forceful process.

Just wanted to say that I finally used my new borner mandoline and still have all of my fingers.

Well, there will be other chances!

Then there is always this...

Much safer on the fingers (At first I thought that I had misspelled mandoline).

When I graduated from the CIA, my mom asked me what I wanted. When I said " a mandoline", she replied "but you don't even play."
(Sorry if you've heard this one before)
