A second hand mandoline a game changer in that regard! Chopping/slicing/cutting evenly suddenly to a fraction of the time. Would drivel recommend (second hand because first hand are stupidly expensive if you rent good quality)
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’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.

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