So I made the Tomato Basil Squares at my show tonight. I've never used the new mandoline I've been paranoid ever since I cut myself bad last July with the USG so I've been choosing recipes since then that didn't require slicing
I watched the video, practiced at home with a potato on the adjustable blade and then sliced a couple of slices of the tomato tonight before the demo. NO problems! Started to slice during the demo (and the tomato was still in the food holder ready to go) AND IT WOULDN'T SLICE!! AT ALL!!
My dear host (3rd time host) came up to try and it wouldn't slice for her either. I kind of sluffed it off and said, let's try the new forged cutlery and finished up with it. But HOW embarrassing is that?!?!
I guess it WAS good after all that there were only 3 guests (yes 3!) so I was embarrassing myself to a room full. And one of the 3 guests was a past host. Sales were only $122 so she has $78 to get at least in order for it to be a show. And guess what? No sales of the UM! I wonder why that was?!?!
I did get 2 bookings though! And both for February WOOHOO!!
Anyone else have problems like this with the UM?
I was going to practice WITH tomatoes but we don't eat tomatoes so I didn't bother. I sure regret THAT decision!
Oh ya, I now have a very slightly used UM for sale - CHEAP!!
