Yeah, Iâve used a mandoline to do it before. Frankly, thatâs really the only way Iâd do it these days. But, even then, itâs a lot of work and itâs hard on the eyeballs. Plus, mandolines are scary. I know what not to do when using one, but itâs like a fear of heights. Even if you know youâre doing it safely, itâs still nerve wracking. Maybe if I had a chain-mail glove I could do it without fear, but I donât 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.

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