Is that Donna guarding the Tomatoes? No. I just google-imaged "raccoon tomatoes" and this came up. The chutney just came up to a boil. Now it has to cook for 2 or 3 hours. The smell is making Eric gag. He just refused to come into the kitchen and empty the dishwasher for me. Guess I'd better go open up a window... |

Kitties searching for taters.......the original low cost food. I always thought corn had that title? pop corn, tortillas, tortilla chips, corn nuts, corn mush.... |

Is that Donna guarding the Tomatoes? Dem boys. What motivates Gabe is driving to CV to share a Mountain Dew with Eric. Believe me, their dens have a lot in common. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

well.. *sigh* I am struggling to understand why I am unable to find a simple tool for the job I have in mind. Okay okay I was in the kitchen.. and I had been deep frying a few things. At the end of the day there was still oil left, and I was in the mood for potato chips. Yes american style ultra thin chips. So I heated up the oil, got out the potato peeler and peeled a potato, and set to work slicing the potato with the peeler. The thickness was perfect, I dropped them into the oil one by one and started frying them. I fished them out of the oil and salted them while still hot. Delicious. But I noticed a problem. The peeler was not long enough, and after a few chips it started to gouge into the potato. This left me slicing the potato in two, and the shapes were just slightly unprofessional it STILL was not long enough. This caused me to start to search... and sure enough I still have not found one with the blade long enough! I am thinking a cutting area of the blade at least 5" (maybe 6" blade length?) would handle the job perfectly. But to date I have not found anything that will fit my needs. Am I the only one to think of this? Am I the only one with enough time to try this? Kitchen aid slicer is too thick, I am doubtful of the results that would be obtained from a mandolin or electric slicer.. and the costs seem very unreasonable for what a simple tool should do! by the way, the chips were delicious.

Maybe something like this might do? Presto 02970 Professional SaladShooter Electric Slicer/Shredder, White Or maybe this one? Deni 14150 Electric Food Slicer Pro II The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

the first one is a cheap imitation hand held kitchenaid.. or small portions of one. So without testing I can say no it would not work. The other electric slicer MIGHT work. For a lot of money when a small hand tool does the job perfectly, and is the perfect thickness for potato chips. A Mandolin also MIGHT work. It just seems to me ridiculous to have to go to such extremes for something so simple. Janice |

Janice, I have a Krups slicer that I never use. It is yours if you want it. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Thank you for the offer Uli. I am trying to avoid having to go to such extremes when such a simple tool should work perfect( a peeler). Can you tell me if a slicer would even slice thin enough for (commercial thickness) potato chips? Janice |

No clue Janice. Maybe the Hotel K would open up the kitchen for a test sometime in the spring. I am not much of a chip eater, but Ang, Eric and the critters are. I am willing to be a tester tho. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

I am seriously thinking of seeing if I can have one custom fabricated.. the regular one worked so well until it got deeper into the potato.. *sigh* Janice |

I have used in the past, like years ago and it can slice things very thin. Pictoring what you had in mind, I think it would be up to the task. Hint Hint, been a long time since we met. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |
