Hey gang -
Found a clean Saladmaster slicer today at a local thrift for 5 dollars. I've always liked Saladmaster products and was happy to see this come along. The casting date on the stand is 1968. Being a novice of pretty much anything food - I have NO clue how to use this thing. Any one have experience using the Saladmaster machine - pros, cons, PITA vs. worth the effort? I love eating veggies and thought this might be a fun way to spice things up. Thanks - Ben |

My Mama and Aunt Mildred used theirs for the "bestest" slaw ever! I'll hunt around here for the book--since I can never discard manuals it's sure to be here somewhere. |

Thanks guys! I did a quick online search and came up with the owners manual to the newest version of the product. Helpful now to see what each of the cones produce.
From what I can tell, it is in good shape but it has been used. Some of the more aggressive cones will contact the bottom of the chute. Is this normal? Ben |

To the head of your Kitchenaid and go for real power and fewer scrapped knuckles. |

HI Ben, I have a brand new one of these. WATCH YOUR FINGERS, the blades are very sharp and you will be giving blood for sure. I use mine all of the time and love it. What would you like to know? I'll send you a private email. Thanks, Gary |

I resell these food processors on eBay. Every so often, I will pick up one and some of the cones will "bang" against the frame. I've painstakingly bent them back into shape. It's a long process because often fixing one side will unbalance the other.
Does anyone have a better idea for how to fix these? Thanks, Sarah |

So speaking of Saladmaster. I lucked out a week or two ago and picked up this super duper clean Saladmaster oil core electric frying pan for $10.. THey sell these things for something like $400.00 why on earth anyone would pay that much for an electric frying pan though.. ]
i'LL be putting in on marketplace. |
