Based on what I would use it for, how often and how much I was willing to spend, I bought a Bron (Chef model) from a Restaurant supply store.<BR/>There are good quality but simpler models out there that will do the trick though, depending on what you're after. Interchangable plates instead of fussing with blades, even dishwasher safe! Then there are spiral continous slicers and Japanese mandolines for some adventurous slicing! <BR/>The Bron (when well cared for), has thus far been durable, versatile and as it's stainless, easy to clean.<BR/>I'd check out some online shops before venturing out just to have an idea of what is out there and approximate pricing. Good luck!<BR/><BR/>Hi Nigel,<BR/>I also make it with any number of heartier herbs, lavender, and lemon zest of course. I'd read about it before but really got the idea from a flatmate in Dunedin who was always making peppercorn salt powder by smashing salt, Sichuan peppercorns, and sometimes chiles too. She'd dry roast everything in a cast iron frypan until aromatic before using the communal coffee grinder to mix it up. I pity the poor unknowing student who made coffee immediately afterward!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532343129241437728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814127.post-74831673177922920272007-11-13T03:46:00.000-05:002007-11-13T03:46:00.000-05:00Cheers for the salt recipe, Mary - that's a keeper...Cheers for the salt recipe, Mary - that's a keeper.Nigel Olsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13350611651161046055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18814127.post-74098350853223343632007-11-10T04:11:00.000-05:002007-11-10T04:11:00.000-05:00Mary, tell us about your mandoline, what brand is ...Mary, tell us about your mandoline, what brand is it, where did you buy it?<BR/>There seem to be lots of the market, but how to choose a good one?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
