"Now we are going to demonstrate a basic slicing procedure for tomatoes and I am going to use a stainless steel mandoline slicer and this keeps the cuts nice an uniformed. A lot of people find it difficult to put a tomato on a cutting board and cut with a knife because pieces are always as parallel and pretty as they would like them to be. So with adjustable ramp and the blade staying in a fixed position, it is a lot easier to achieve this on the mandoline slicer. What we want to do is slice the tomato and slide it down the base of this and I like to use a little circular push to keep my fingertips from getting nearby. You get nice uniform slices of tomato and that way you don't have to mess with trying to cut it on a cutting board and using a knife as a guide. "
