I bought this mandoline because I had read good revues. This mandoline works well with zucchini and other soft vegis. I really wanted to use it to julienne carrots. For that this is a dangerous cheap kitchen tool. I am going to buy something more sturdy. I am sick of cutting up my fingers.

I just love this Shell Cookie Jar!It has really beautiful detail and is perfict in my kitchen. It goes great with the Blue Shell Canister Set I also bought and I use the cookie jar as the flour container since the canister set only came with three pieces. I may order another one and use it as a cookie jar too.
