This slicer belonged to my momma. I remember her using it over 50 years ago, when I first started learning how to cook. Through the years, I have looked in flea markets, discount stores, even, in Good Will, but, I have never seen another like it anywhere. My suggestion is, if you ever see one like it, buy it. It's well worth the money, at any price.

  • 1 - stand

  • 1 - thick slicer
  • 1 - course grater
  • 1 - fine grater
  • 1 - shredder

How To Make my favorite slicer

  • Step 1
    The stand has three (3) suction cups on the base. Moisten these & it will stay in place while you work.
  • Step 2
    Select the slicer or grater you need & attach it to the stand as shown in the picture.
  • Step 3
    Place a bowl under the chute to catch the slices as they come out of the open end of the slicer.
  • Step 4
    Place your vegetables in the chute, hold a slight pressure with your left hand while turning the handle with your right hand.
  • Step 5
    As you get used to using this machine, the faster you can use it. We can slice 5 pounds of potatoes in minutes. The faster you turn the handle, the faster it slices.
  • Step 6
    "Be Careful! These blades are sharp!" They'll slice fingers just as easily as they slice vegetables.
