Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Börner V-Wave Waffle Slicer
Customer Review: REALLY Useful!
Summary: 5 Stars
This little slicer is the best new gadget I received this Christmas! I bought it primarily to make "Cross-Cut Fries" and for Carrot & Cucumber chips out of the garden this summer. It really works exceptionally well, but don't blow the extra money on the "holder". I also bought the full size "V-Slicer" which has the so-called holder in it, so if you buy this slicer with or after the V-Slicer, you won't need to buy it separately for THIS one. But I've got to give my honest opinion - the holder is - USELESS. It's made of a hard plastic that doesn't HOLD anything. You can't grip the fruit or veggie you're trying to slice, and you have to raise it repeatedly to run the next slice... it gets irritating Q-u-i-c-k-l-y.
So yes, I admit it. I slice my stuff "freehand", but I do it with complete attention - and I've learned a few things... reserve a hot pad... you know, like you use to take pans out of the oven... when your potato (or whatever you're slicing) gets down to about half-way (or 2-3 inches from the blade) place it in the center of the hotpad and then grip the hotpad. The one I use is a very thick quilt, but only 6-7 inches across - PERFECT for slicing. If you over estimate how much veggie you have left, the slicer WILL stop at the hotpad.
I've used this method every time, and feel very comfortable with it. If you are not satisfied with the "Holder" they offer, try THIS idea.
Other than that, this slicer AND the V-Slicer are both awesome products! The slices come out beautiful and uniform, and YOU decide what the thickness should be. Even in the slicing gauge, if the slice is too thick, run the veggie lightly, if it's too thin, press heavily. Between the 3 settings and the pressure you apply, you really have a vast array of thickness options.
Good luck - hope this helps.
