Customer Review: If you can't use a knife...
Summary: 2 Stars
Maybe if you have no knife skills whatsoever, this could be a useful tool. I do a lot of cooking from scratch and use LOTS of vegetables. I thought this would save me a lot of time. It is awkward to use and I feel like I'm abusing the produce with it. I like to make homemade french fries and if it could have done just that one job well it would have been worth keeping. It even failed that. The largest julliene setting made very very thin fries. I'm returning it today because it wastes a lot of food, it is cumbersome to store, and it just feels like a wrestling match everytime I use it.
P.S. It can't do carrots, celery, or cucumbers because they are too skinny, so don't think this will help you in your quest to cook more asian style foods (that is exactly what I had been hoping for)
