You are correct. A mandoline traditionally is used for slicing of various varieties. Dicing is a different kind of cut that starts with slices, but is not slicing really. You can achieve a dicing affect when you reload the hopper with your sliced items and then choose the same setting again. I would suggest though that if dicing is what you desire as an end result that you use the food chopper. Here is a video about that tool: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZMDlN1iEUV0.htmlsi=XcZcbaT5GgD1pBOt Let me know if you have any other questions or need more personalized help based on what you are trying to accomplish. I love helping with the nuanced questions like this. Thanks so much.
not with this mandoline. We do have tools that are helpful with this though. My fave for softer cheeses like Cheddar is this one: www.pamperedchef.com/pws/cheriebeasley/shop/Kitchen+Tools/Specialty+Cutting+Tools/Adjustable+Coarse+Grater/100481?queryID=c01100c79ec05a2aa4957000a75b9365 If you want one for harder cheeses, like parmesan, I usually use our microplane zester. 🤣🤣 www.pamperedchef.com/pws/cheriebeasley/shop/Kitchen+Tools/Specialty+Cutting+Tools/Adjustable+Zester/100482?queryID=dc7431528913d0c5191dc27a9a3dee2f

Hi Hazel, I missed your comment somehow. Forgive the delay in response. It is best to use the julienne setting and then set the number dial to a size between a 2 and 5 depending on the size dice you want. Then you would feed the while carrot through and then gather the slices up and then feed them through again on the same setting and that should give you a good dice. I have added this to the list of things to demo with the mandoline so stay tuned. :)
I am sorry you felt like I talked more than I demonstrated. This video was a follow up from a more comprehensive one that I did previously. Is there something specific you would like to see demonstrated? If this channel doesn't help you, I would suggest you not watch and find something that is more helpful. Thanks for watching and your comment.
Absolutely. I do tomatoes alot. This is perfect for those just right tomatoes for burgers and sandwiches. Here is a link to see more: www.pamperedchef.com/pws/cheriebeasley/shop/Kitchen+Tools/Food+Prep/Rapid-Prep+Mandoline/100351. I will say the firmer the tomatoes the better the results.
You didn't answer the question of how to prepare a large ( too big for the chute) onion for slicing in the device. I think the chute restricts the size of items you can slice especially multiple layered vegetables like an onion that can fall apart in the chute if you don't know how to orient your preparation cut to avoid it and get better results. Its like the advice to not slice off the root end first, of an onion when making your preparation cuts for a fine dice by hand or the layers will fall apart while you are making the cross cuts. If you are saying the slicer is restricted to lunchbox size items then its an impractical waste of money. I have the same size restrictions and limited use with my food processor's slicer blade and my Kitchenaid slicer attachment. A regular open mandolin slicer with food gripper is the only thing that will work. I am trying to decide how much money I want to invest in yet another kitchen tool.
I am sorry that you didn't catch me mentioning that you would have to cut down the larger onion in order for you to be able to cut it in a different way. I actually love cutting things by hand. Not everyone has the confidence to do this and so it is great that there are tools that help those who are not as adept or interested in learning those skills. We are all entitled to our opinions of what is a waste of money and isn't. I have found that there are some things I will definitely buy because they help me and others don't agree and vice-versa. It is absolutely okay. It is really lovely that there are so many different types of tools for so many uses as we all have different needs and skillsets.
I am sorry that you were not pleased with this. We do only sell this one in the United States. Is it possible that you got a version that is not Pampered Chef?
