Do you guys think it's worth getting a mandolin for making cabbage salad and sauerkraut? I find it hard to cut thin and even with the knife, like the leaves sometimes shift against each other
>>22187873I’ve never made that stuff but if you do on the regular then yeah I’d say it’s worth it to spend $10-20 on the proper tool
Remove the ribs, stack the leafy parts, roll it into a tight cigar. The leaves can no longer shift. As for the ribs themselves, cut them more chunky, if you like, try to slice them just as thinly or shave them with a peeler.
>>22187877This, though you don't really need to remove the ribs unless they're especially tough.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVApGvQq2GA
>>22187877>>22187878Do you just snack on the leftover ribs or dip em in hommus or something?
>>22187887Cabbage women.
>>22187873there's no comparing to how thin and consistent you can get with a mandolin, even with knife skillsthat being said... raw cabbage salad is delicious, but hard to digest. i finally begrudgingly gave up the raw jap style salads i made for myself, despite how insanely healthy and delicious they were (quick homemade vinagrettes to go with them). how often have you eaten cabbage salad? if you havent already tried eating it every day for like, 3 days in a row, try that first. i bet you'll get shrekt toosometimes tasty vegetable dishes can be bad for you
>>22187873No. Mandolins are dangerous. You'll hurt yourself.
>>22187898You may also like grated raw beet salads.
>>22187920i did add beets to it, beets, carrots, cabbage were pretty much the trio always included, and then depending on how i was feeling i'd add red onion slices i try to avoid raw vegetables now. steam em at the very least
>>22187887I have pretty good knife skills so I just slice them paper thin and toss them in, anyway. In fact? Anytime we buy cauliflower, I make slaw out of the leaves rather than toss them. It's enough for 3-4 chicken teriyaki meatball wraps
>>22187898I eat it whenever I go to balkan grills, I can eat pretty much anything
Take this to /mu/ mandolin is a terrible instrument, chick's dig guitarists better. And just buy a knife for your slicing.
>>22187997for shredded cabbage, cucumber salad and stuff like that i prefer the organ
>>22188001You prefer cucumber in your buttorgan
>>22187873>salutFAGGOT
One interesting option is to use a Vietnamese peeler/shredder tool. Far easier then trying to move the entire cabbage. There's also the Thai version which works a bit differently and the toothed grater.I would certainly use one or the other
>>22187873May as well, they’re normally cheap. Just be careful
>>22187901what's your story? lost a finger?
It’s called a ‘mandoline’ you fucking cooklet retards. A mandolin is a musical instrument.
>>22188423It's a themdoline, you cishet bigot.
>>22188400his balls were itching fiercelybut yea he lost a finger
>>22188423"mandolin" is the conventional way of spelling it in the UK, and "spelling conventions" in English overall are a joke (or joek, or jouc)you're a musical instrument
>>22187997Mandolin is just a snobby banjo.
>>22188461You’re wrong and in any case who gives a fuck about what ‘people’ in the UK do.
