LadyCook61,
The fact that you can control the size of your slicing is more than just cosmetics.
By having consistent size pieces to cook, you will have better and more efficient results specially when frying or baking...please see my previous comment about Pommes Souffless. Perhaps that will help your husband understand?

Plumies,
Have you done those hash browns for breakfast? I did a rosti today (is like a hash browns cake) and even though it took me a while to get the proper cooking time it was pretty darn good.

Not yet but I'm making them tomorrow morning. DH is eager to see how my new toy is going to benefit him. A rosti...I'll have to look into that one. Sounds delicious. Thank you!

I decided to make a rosti on Saturday. DH loved it. It was so easy to get the evenly thin shreds (not sure what else to call them) of potatoes on the mandoline. I did half a potato on my regular box shredder just for comparison. Mandonline won hands down.

I also used it to slice some vegetables for salads and it was very fast. Clean-up was a snap, too. Overall, a good add for me!
