Does anyone have a good vegetable or fruit slicer that they would recommend?
I like to slice cucumbers really thin to eat, and would love it if the tool could do that. I've gotten pretty quick at slicing them by hand, but I would love it if their was a good tool out there that could make it quicker and easier.
I would also think a tool like this could be very useful in preparing fruits and veggies for being dehydrated and preserved.
Any recommendations?

My aunt has a mandolin she loves and says makes her life more efficient. I'm the type of person who would slice her hand more with that than just chopping with a knife. I have a cuisinart food processor that supposedly also does the chopping well, but it is too much drama for a simple chopping. I just use a good knife, a knife sharpener, and a few cutting boards.
For a quick slicing of cucumber normally I just use a cheese slicer, you can slice a whole cucumber in less than a minute and the slices are all the same thickness.
Edit: Perhaps I should mention which cheese slicer, it´s the Boska Milano. This is the best allround cheese slicer there is imho. It will slice consistent good slices which are perfect for sandwiches and should last you for decades.
I use a meat slicer when I do cucumbers for pickling, I don't turn the slicer on just use it totally as normal but with the blade not turning, it works fine that way!
Yeah, but how did the squirrel get in there? Was it because of the tiny ad?
