Yeah, I’ve used a mandoline to do it before. Frankly, that’s really the only way I’d do it these days. But, even then, it’s a lot of work and it’s hard on the eyeballs. Plus, mandolines are scary. I know what not to do when using one, but it’s like a fear of heights. Even if you know you’re doing it safely, it’s still nerve wracking. Maybe if I had a chain-mail glove I could do it without fear, but I don’t have one.

I chop my onions by hand but I wear swimming googles and they help a lot.

I found a plastic handle for the mandoline. If you mess up, the handle gets cut but your fingers survive unscathed.

I’d be interested to see what that is. It seems like it would be hard to make that work because securely gripping the thing you’re chopping is an important part of using a mandoline.
