Tested a new electric mandolin/grater. What a piece of s-t. I am seriously thinking of sending it back. I had a good workout trying to assemble it though. Even DH was unable to make it work with the blade that is supposed to cut veggies into cubes. And that speaks for itself as he usually can make anything work. The shredded carrots made into my lunch salad for one. It was good, and now that I logged it and saw how few calories it had, I miss my old deceased electric grater even more. So the search for perfect electric grater continues. I seldom use any cooking appliances to help with prep but there is no way I am going to grate carrots or daikon manually. And I love both. As for migraine, I am much better but it is still lurking somewhere around, so I might get it again. It is raining today which is very unusual for this time of the year. I cannot go out and have nothing to do but to hang around the house and relax. Might actually help.
Made another attempt after lunch and made it work. Still mixed results. Thin is too thin, thick is too thick, with cubes onions get squashed and half potato goes to waste. Liked the wavy fries cut but as I don't eat French fries it is of little use to me. May be I will try sweet potato French fries in the air-fryer. Endless opportunities to justify wasted $50. Sending it back means paying for the shipping. Oh well. You would think I have learned my lesson by now, but no, I had to try it.
