I made us a delicious tortilla de patatas

Unfortunately I managed to remove a sliver off my thumb while slicing the potatoes

So no more pulgar for a while ...

Ed...

The secret is to use a knife with a finely serrated blade, not a smooth blade.

It doesn't slip so easily and if it does it won't cut you nearly so badly, if at all.

Drawback is that you can't chop super fast like a professional chef...but who really needs to do that?

Stu...

Yep, done the same..

cheers,

Ron

Well Ed..(sigh)

Therein lies the problem...

Gizmos are a waste of time IMO.

Especially those gizmos advertised on shopping TV for 19.99 (whatever currency)

In the kitchen there is practically nothing you cannot do using the most basic of utensils.

I'm so practised now, I can cut practically transparently thin slices of garlic using my trusty serrated kitchen knife.

You forget you are a guitarist and therefore have a much higher level of hand control than most people (including stupid TV chefs who try to do do cutting and chopping at lightning speed to impress the even more stupid audience..)

(A cook's version of super fast picado IMO...Used too often and for no real purpose..

)

cheers,

Ron

This must be a bad week for everyone! The other night I went to go grab something off my desk and slipped.... Unfortunately when I slipped my thumbnail was the first thing to come in contact with the desk and ultimately snapped in half

Although my nails grow relatively quickly and I should beable to get my sound back in about a week

My friend in Finland has these in her kitchen:
