do not feel stupid about asking that. Yes, put the prongs into what ever
you want to slice. I have one and have been using it for years. Please
always use your finger guard. I didn't and carved out the tip and quite a
bit of the end of my middle finger. I immediately turned and put my hand
under the running water in my sink, this washed the chunk of finger down the
drain. When I got to the emergency room, they asked me where the rest of
my finger was. I had to have my finger glued shut. They had to close off
my finger with surgical glue, and I couldn't get it wet for 6 weeks. I
still have no feeling in the flat end of that finger. Don't be afraid of
your mandolin either, it is one of my favorite tools. One more hint, if
your prongs wont fit securely into whatever you want to slice, use a regular
knife and make a flat surface to stick the prongs into. Makes wonderful
onion rings. Perfectly thin slices of potatoes, really, I love mine.

Subject: [CnD] Mandolin question
I have a mandolin that I received from Blind Mice mart. I'm really not
very mechanically inclined. I'm not altogether sure how to use it. I
would like to julienne peppers and onions on it. I figured out how to
adjust the blades. Do you put the guard which has the prongs in to the
pepper and run it across the blades? I feel really stupid about asking
these questions but any help would be greatly appreciated
Marleen
