🌹 Still trying to get it right. 🤷♀️
Oh, ok. I have one of these. I use the flat side to pound and the bumpy/pointy side when I make peanut butter cookies instead of doing the fork crisscross. It's so much quicker with the mallet.
I have had a few different electric peppermills over the years, and they are all good. Just make sure the peppercorns can fit in the little feeder part right before they get ground. I think it's more about the size of the peppercorns; they were kind of on the big side. Assuming you're using Cambodian Kampot peppercorns (which everyone should), you should be fine.
Also, a little tip. Take your peppercorns and fill the storage part of the peppermill so you know exactly how much you'll need, and then put those in a pan on low heat and toast them until fragrant, about 10 minutes. Let them cool for a bit and then put them in the pepper grinder. It makes them even better.

Well, it wasn't planned but my OH came home with one is these.
I guess I'll be trying it out soon
It had a variety of guards and safety mechanisms thankfully. I've lost enough pieces of fingers and thumbs over the years to not need to lose any more. But it should make juillening the veg much easier and faster.
Now to see if i can learn to use chop sticks

That's an excellent kitchen item to have for making uniform pieces! Chopsticks? No problem!
On the other hand there is a fast and cheaper option for julienne cutting: the julienne peeler as posted above. I have both but tend to use the hand held peeler more often unless I need a large quantity.
The mandoline you have, though, is useful for all sorts of vegetable cuts.

No matter how careful I am, I don't like using these. But it's they only way to get consistent, razor thin onions. That does look like a nice one though.
