What is ultimate: Definition and 88 Discussions

I have had my kit for less than a week and have been using the products to get used to them. I sliced carrots on the mandoline last night, rinsed it off, took it apart, and put it in the dishwasher. I ran the dishwasher after breakfast (it wasn't full last night) and the mandoline is stained...

I was working a fair booth last week when a woman came up and said she had a mandoline, but it didn't come with a kick stand. I asked my director about it and she said it was the old version that didn't come with it. I called the woman and explained it didn't come with it and she said the...

I have a host who somehow managed to break the slider part of the food holder. On the replacement parts form it just has "Food Holder" and looking at the diagram in the use and care, it's a bit confusing. They have the whole sliding unit labeled as "Food Holder" and also just the oval part...

I just got my kit and tried to use my UM to slice cucumbers and onions to soak in vinager and eat on saturday. Anyways, that sucker is hard to use! I previously had a cheapy one from the store and it was so simple, after 2 cucumbers and a whole purple onion i have a stabbed index finger and am...

So I was going through my postcards invites trying to use them up and I find this one that says "A Taste Of Summer". I thought I would use it for my open house. It has a yummy pic of the ultimate banana split cake on it and I thought I should make it for the openhouse. Now I can not find the...

Help!! I've been asked to do a "fun" segment at cluster tomorrow, called "tackling the Ultimate Mandoline". They want me to give a refresher on the UM, in a fun way. How in the heck do I make this fun!?!?! I thought about running into the room with a football helmet on, but haven't...

I am taking some time away from my business and have some paperwork I would like to sell. It's a box full of: a whole roll of tickets for games at show or events pampered partner reciepts (maybe 100) gift certificate forms Pampered Chef money bag for shows Start Strong Flyers 2 Fall...

Last night at a cooking show I was demonstrating the UM and was slicing carrots with the crinkle cut blade. Tiny pieces of carrot got stuck between the crinkle blades and the plastic. Also, the orange from the carrot stained the mandoline. How embarrassing! I didn't say anything and just...

I was at my in laws today and it was my job to cut the tomatoes and onions. Well I pulled out the retired Ultimate Slice and grate and yes, I know and KNEW I should use the food safety holder but I did it anyway. I got through the tomato fine and then got to almost the end of the onion and I...

I'm hoping someone can help me. Last night, I used my UM to slice carrots and after running through the dishwasher, both the blade piece and the main unit are slightly stained. What can I use to get this back to normal. I am having my very first show on Sunday and don't want to bring it...

Does anyone else have trouble slicing tomatoes on the UM? The last two shows that I've done where we needed to slice tomatoes using the v-blade the tomatoes mostly just turned to mush. Am I doing something wrong? I really like it for everything else (except cheese) but it's embarrassing...

I just finished watching "The Road Home" and am still sniffling. It's a Chinese movie (with subtitles) about a couple's courtship, through flashback after the husband dies. Zhang Zhi Yi (Memoirs of a Geisha) is in it. It is one of the, if not the, most romantic movies I have ever seen and very...

Not to beat a dead horse, but can anyone give me advice on what I should do to prepare mozzarella cheese. I don't want to use the mandoline because it desimates (sp?) the cheese but that is the only tool I have at my disposal to deal with cheese. Should I have the host purchase shredded cheese...

I did an open house today and 2 customers said they love the mandoline except that it doesn't work over a bowl. I always use it on a cutting board, so I really didn't have an answer. It looks like it should work similar to the USG did. I told them I would check with you all and get some...

Does anyone remeber the retail price? I am doing a fair tomorrow and wanted to offer it half price -- BUT I don't know the price!

Has anyone had trouble with the straight blade of the ultimate mandoline not cutting very thick even when it is on the thickest setting. Alot of people around here (northern minnesota) are getting their final carrots out of their gardens and canning them. I have had some frustrated customers...

I have a customer who is having a hard time using the Slice and Grate, and no longer has the use and care card. Anybody have one they can post for me?

Does $18 plus shipping sound fair? The hand guard is a bit roughed up on the underside but it's in otherwise great condition - all blades intact, etc.

I would like to sell mine if anyone is interested. I have used it only a handful of times, and I just think I have no use for it at home. I prefer knives... And its not something I want to push at shows, so if anyone is interested- let me know. Thanks!

I swear I had a post on here for a extra Ultimate Mandoline that I have. Am I losing it, or did it disappear? Jessica

Hello there! Does anyone have a New Ultimate Mandoline that they are willing to part with? I need one for a family member that is getting married and she really wants one. Thanks so much! Just PM me with price...

Does anyone have one that they want to sell.??? Used is fine with me....PLEAAAASSSSSSSSE????????

anyone else experience a wretched squeaking sound when using the mandoline..it has happenned to me on the V-shape blade last night when i tried doing a nice firm cold tomato..it was a joke! HORRIBLE..sounded like a cat being killed! Then i tried a cucumber and a different blade..but i'm...

I have a customer who's adjustable blade for the Ultimate Slice and Grate is broken. Her warranty expired last month!! Does anyone have a spare one that you would be willing to part with? I would like it to be new. Thanks!

Does anyone have tips? I just hate mine. Everytime I use it at a show I make a fool of myself. And I really don't like it. I have the slice and grate from before and really like it. I know it's a finger cutter, but I keep my v-blade on there and when I need to slice potatoes or squash, I...

probably a dumb question, but has anyone made homemade potato chips with the ultimate mandoline? I've made them a few times now and I just thought of it tonight to put the sweet and smokey bbq rub on them for a "bbq" chip! Boy are they good!!! Just thought I'd share with you all in case you...

We are doing an 80's themed night and was curious as to what to make. Anyone have any ideas? She has already got the "candy" that was out then such as some pop rocks, candy necklaces and fun dip. TIA:D

I have the previous Ultimate Slice and Grate. It is in excellent condition, has all the parts. Was only used twice. Looks brand new, but I do not have the box. Asking $15.00 plus shipping. I can mail it priority for $5.00. I have paypal, or you can send a money order. Let me know!! Be blessed!!:D

Ok, all at once it seems like everyone is having problems with some products. In one week I had 4 people either call me about something or bring something back to me. Does HO like me to put all these into one email, or email each one seperate? My Aunt bought the old Ultimate Slice and...

I earned the UM last year and haven't taken it out of the box until 2 days ago! I wanted to practice using it for my show yesterday because it's the host special for March! It worked ok when I practiced at home, so I tried to demo it at the show. The food guard kept "derailing"...not sure why! I...
