Title: Toss up: safe? or sliced?
Review: I have both the old model of the Papered Chef mandoline as well as the new. The old one did not have the stand feature, which I quite like, but it DID slice and it sliced very well. This newer version is VERY safe. It also does not work. When I saw the springs on the side, I thought "Are we supposed to just push hard to activate this feature?" uh... yep! Ridiculous! The whole idea of using a Mandoline is to make slicing and dicing easier, not harder. The holder doesn't hold...well ANTHING really. I had an old Mandoline that I bought years ago for around 10 bucks. I bought it to make French Onion Soup. Somewhere along the way, I lost it. I would love to have that back. I own many Pampered Chef items, and I am a big fan. I got this new version because I threw a party, and I got it as a bonus. It does stay clean. Buuuut, that's because I can't use it for anything.
