Slicing cucumbers

[SS MAYFLOAT]

I am getting ready to can some bread and butter pickles. I don't have a slicer or food processer. I was checking out the different small appliances for the job at hand. I really don't want to spend a lot of money on something that I will only use a couple of times a year. I was looking at the Salad Shooter. Does anyone have one of these and how well does it perform......Thanks.........SS

Re: Slicing cucumbers

we use an old sliding box style cabbage cutter.
We stuff about 12 cukes vertically in the box at a time.

All you really need is a good cutting board and a sharp 10 to 12 inch french chef knife.

She'll forgive you about February when she tastes the pickles.

My wife used to feel that way about money for fishing. Took her out in the boat last night. She caught supper. I drove. Had a couple of friends along so I'll not soon live it down. Life is good, even if my personal fishing isn't.

She's baking bread and freezing beans with my help. I'll drive her to the fishing spot before dawn tomorrow.
