What's hilarious about this pic is the thing you're supposed to be using to keep your hands safe is sitting off to the side
Tbf with many mandolins those things are utter garbage especially if you need to go fast, not waste 20% of your food, and aren’t into dulling the blades when you slam metal prongs into them which is 40% of why you never see professional chefs use the guard in videos (the other 60% being “I’m a super cool chef” bullshit which is why they also never wear the protective gloves either
that's what the cowboy hat is for
That's true! That was the one included safety device I used right before cutting off my finger tip.
It's an initiation rite, not a measurement of personal failure.
