Episode 5
Japanese Mandolins
Day 9
For those of you cooking at home, if you can get your hands on a Japanese mandolin, this post is for you. They might be intimidating at first but I promise they will help you rip through prep with lots of consistency. I've cut myself a bunch of times and I still use them. Thereby proving either that I'm an idiot or they must be worth it.
DISCLAIMER: Use of the guard included with your mandolin; I've been cooking food for money for almost 30 years. I've been using a mandolin since I was 16. I'm allowed to forgo the aforementioned guard. You should definitely 100% use the guard provided.
I've got a lawyer standing by if you blame me for cutting yourself...

I clicked on the video to see how to use the mandolin, but I can't stop looking at how fine this man is!!!

Hahaha that's very sweet of you to say that!

The only thing wrong with my Benriner is my wife considers it a kitchen gadget and I don't. 😢

@OliveOilandGasoline 2 месяца назад

Professional chefs don't use gadgets and we all use a mandolin.

I found out the hard way cut a chunk out of my thumb. Them damn things are sharp as hell! I got gloves with mine, but failed to wear them.

@OliveOilandGasoline 3 года назад

They're so lethal. I know a very experienced chef that will only use one with the guard it comes with.

Some of your recipes would be nice. Even when you are hammered down. Just run what you brung. Enjoy watching you guys in the galley.

What kind of recipes do you want? Thanks for the compliment!

@oliviachiu4988 2 года назад

This is a good product that many restaurants are using, Is there any hand guard comes with the mandolin ? I need to slice paper thin rainbow carrots and sushi gingers all the time.

@OliveOilandGasoline 2 года назад

Yup, it comes with a guard!

@BlueGorillaInTheMist 8 месяцев назад

@OliveOilandGasoline Should I get the small one that comes with the julienne blades, or the biggest one that doesn't?

@OliveOilandGasoline 8 месяцев назад

They both come with julienne blades. Make sure it's the new version of Benriner, that are whit with black rrubber feet.

@robinsharkey6658 3 года назад

I've worked prep for just shy of a decade but never really got into using a mandolin. Just heard too many horror stories. Now I went and bought one and I'm looking too see if there are any video injuries...

@OliveOilandGasoline 3 года назад

Hey man, how's it going with the mandolin? Do you like it?

@robinsharkey6658 3 года назад

@@OliveOilandGasoline yeah I like it a lot. I don't know if I'll be getting a restaurant job any time soon but a butcher is looking for good help. Not much I can use a mandolin for in a butcher shop ;) bought a new sujihiki to celebrate the year's end and hopefully a new job.

@melodychest9020 Год назад

I think they invented kitchen cut gloves quite some years ago! LOL Awesome simple tool that I am getting into as well but WITH a Victorinox glove!

@OliveOilandGasoline Год назад

I think it's good to use in the beginning but you'll get tired of not being able to feel the food very soon. Chefs raw dog it with no glove. 😀

@debidenton9180 3 года назад

I have one of these and i love it but I would like thicker slices for cucumbers and tomatos. Even the thickness you display is too thin for what Im trying to achieve. Is there a way to adjust it to obtain a thicker slice?

@OliveOilandGasoline 3 года назад

They adjust to maximum 1/2 an inch. I feel your pain. Sometimes I wish they opened up a little bit more for some applications.

@OliveOilandGasoline 2 года назад

you can only go by the maximum opening of the device.

@tullochgorum6323 2 года назад

Here's a better idea if you value your fingers - use a cut resistant glove. You can pick one up for a few dollars from any pro catering supplier. A touch inconvenient, but could very well save you a trip to A & E, especially if you are as absent minded as I am. Oh - and use a pusher as well, especially as the item you are cutting gets thinner.

@OliveOilandGasoline 2 года назад

You don't need the pusher if you're wearing the glove you suggested. If you need that much safety gear maybe a mandolin is the right tool for you? In 30 years of high end professional cooking I've only seen one chef use the guard (what you call the pusher?). I don't cut myself with a chain saw or my drone blades either, just be careful.

@tullochgorum6323 2 года назад

@@OliveOilandGasoline You said yourself in the video: "there's so many people cut themselves on these things it's insane". Reading online reviews of mandolines I've seen people say they ended up in A&E with quite serous injuries. So obviously it's a personal choice, but I just timed it and getting a glove on takes literally 2 seconds. Seems like a good investment to me. I really don't feel a need to prove to anyone how macho I am - as a musician I'd rather keep my fingertips. By the way folks, get a proper glove like the Victorinox. A lot of the knock-offs on Amazon are dangerous. As for the pusher, I hate waste and it's sometimes easier to get those last few slices if you use it. Though we can agree that it's less important than a glove. And you really don't use protective gear with a chainsaw? In the UK an employer who allowed their staff to do that would be in serious trouble. Our safety regulations are based on extensive risk analysis, so that should tell you something...

Why not use the holder that comes with them?

@OliveOilandGasoline 2 года назад

it's much faster to not use it. I've never worked with anyone that used the guard.

@seechangenyc280 Год назад

Is this the mandolin you'd recommend for beginners?

@OliveOilandGasoline Год назад

It's the only one the pro's use. The rest are cheap and cheerful that don't last. The giant french one is a disaster.

@seechangenyc280 Год назад

@@OliveOilandGasolinethanks for responding. Scared to death but I'm game.

@RobertvandenBurg 3 года назад

Why don’t you use a mandolin with handy grips that protecting your fingers and have a tide grip on the veggies?

@OliveOilandGasoline 3 года назад

Because it's way faster with less waste to do it without the guard. I've been using these for 25 years but I recommend non professionals to use the guard.

@RobertvandenBurg 3 года назад

OliveOilandGasoline yes I can understand that as you as a pro chef works at a higher pace. For us as mortals I use the save way🤘 thanks for your answer.
