Yikes! But wow, the devil eats good!
thedevilwearssalad.com/recipes/
I try. The devil is in the details after all. Don't want devils in my salad.
You have a good attention to detail
Yes. And for the cukes, it should be straight, not curved.
That makes sense. They should offer green!
Yes, there was a comment about plantains. I forget what it said, but I think it would be fine for them. The Hutzler is really quite large, so the size of the fruit wouldn't be a problem.
Someone asked about slicing cucumbers, but it was generally thought that would be unsuitable, because cucumbers are green, and the Hutzler is yellow.
Have you seen any comments or questions indicating if I'd need a separate plantain slicer? I love some quality Tostones.
I saw someone asked for giant bananas at the grocer, but that is kind of vague.
I did notice that there is a Spam slider.
LOL
Oh yes. The Hutzler 571 is famous. Nearly all the comments are satiric. But there're also there're funny reviews for other products:

Ha - yeah, I always read reviews of things I'm going to purchase or make. But, it seems there's a whole bunch of people who just peruse comments for the comedy. Oh, and if I read a news/magazine article - I never read the comments. A friend of mine always does and often sends pretty funny comments when she sees them.
The comments are often the best part.
I love the ones who change the ingredient's and then say the recipe sucks.
More and more I see where reading the reviews or comments can produce some entertaining stuff. ha
Oh YESSSSS, fabulous menu...
You have to try them .
They are simple, easy to make and a great side for almost any meat.
I don't use the gelatin, as I find the potato's release enough starch to finish the sauce. That and the extra butter I add .
Now I want a T-bone, grilled asparagus and fondant taters.
This site is bad for my health.
Already done Thanks!
Then just file those recipes for future use.
I love Fondant Potatoes! OK, I just love potatoes
The recipes at the bottom of the page all look great too.
Unfortunately, I don't let myself eat potatoes every day anymore... carbs.
They do look VERY good...
They are delicious.
I do them on the BBQ in a cast iron pan.
The reduced pan sauce is da bomb.
Not really the time of year, but for potato lovers...

I think I read about it somewhere years ago. The reviews have kept on going for more than a decade.
OMG, I have to wonder how you found the product and stayed interested long enough to notice the reviews
Oh there're some posts that hundreds of people thought were helpful. There're more than 6,000 reviews, most of them hilarious:
https://www.amazon.com/Hutzler-3571-571-Banana-Slicer/dp/B0047E0EII
I was curious if you were serious about the banana slicer and now I see your tongue in cheek and eyes rolling
That review is hilarious. It makes me think that we could use some digital bananas to throw at opposing members on IHub... I can think of one that might get a banana salad from all directions (eye roll and chuckle emoji's)
I also notice that at the end of that review 3 people found it helpful

All my life I've been compelled to respond to people who irk me by throwing fruit at them, in specific, bananas. Little did I know that Felony Assault wasn't determined by weapon alone, but also but extent of injury.
5 years ago I was unfortunate enough to be lured into retaliating against a mo-fo so I hurled a whole banana at the fool...... only to be dragged before the court a month latter. It seem Mister big mouth had paper mache skin and filed a police report showing a large bruise/goose egg on his forehead.
The Cops said "substantial bodily harm" was my infraction, and this under law is a Felony assault. I of course contested the charges (who gets hurt by fruit?), and after much $$$$$ prevailed. My victory was short lived, as this scenario repeated itself several more times.
Luckily, Amazon supplied the answer to my dilemma when I happened upon the Hutzler 571 Banana Slicer. WOW, what a concept! The Hutzler allows me to take what is "obviously" a Felony weapon and slice it down to portions that even a Bee-och can't blow up to a big deal. Now I carry a pocket full of attitude adjusters confident I won't face malicious prosecution while defending myself from aggressors who live to trigger me and harm the nation.
Thank you Hutzler!

How do you slice your bananas? Have you ever read about the incomparable Hutzler 571? Here're the reviews:

On the Eastern face of K2 it was a carabiner, keeping our team in tandem for the final leg of our ascent. In the Australian outback, a measuring implement, as we surveyed the metes and bounds of the arid red landscape. In Brazil, at the festa do peao de barretos, it was a substitute belt buckle, providing a fading champ one last ride in the sun.
I’ve seen it be many things in my time – a drying rack for swamp-soaked socks, a spaghetti serving-size separator for starved Italian troops, a ladder for my dear Lilliputian friends – but I have yet to behold each of the Hutzler’s 571 applications. And so my travels continue.
For three months, the Hutzler and I joined a zydeco band, replacing a washboard player who had as fierce a taste for alligator as alligator did for him. I descaled fish and scraped ice from windshields in the Yakutia Region of Siberia for spare rubles and blood sausage. It was only when, having sieved the sands of Kiribati in a fruitless search for Captain Cook’s treasure, my second cousin, once revived, suggested we adjourn to the island settlement of Banana. And there, my eyes were opened.
My trials, travels, and journals of methodology had all led up to this moment; and like a proud father standing before his prized bird, carving knife in hand, I looked at my motley assemblage and impressed upon the Hutzler its final, true use. As I doled out perfectly uniform banana slices to each member of my party, I had but one thought: the Lilliputians are gonna $h!7!
Five Stars
The pulley, the inclined plane, the lever. I guess man’s simple machines are too simple for our time, and the remedy to this is a series of wedges, all connected and united in the task of segmenting a banana into upwards of 18 slices. Or, a pointless piece of plastic pretending to outmaneuver a knife in its own game.
If I told you the invention of the Hutzler 571 was tied to Hitler, would you be surprised? It’s true! Company founder Lothar Hutzler fled Germany after the Nazis came to power, establishing Hutzler in the United States in 1938. The war meant that metals were hard to come by, hence Hutzler’s early innovations in plastic kitchen products, including plastic cookie cutters, which is all this banana slicer really is anyway. Hitler! World War II! Banana slicer! Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be! I just told you!
Obviously, I am in the “just use a knife” camp, and in fact, I’m thinking about jumping over to the “use a mandolin” camp, that way you can choose the size of your slices depending on what you need and the mouths you’ll feed. But this is a review of the Hutzler, so let me spare no detail in describing its efficiency and efficacy.
It works. Of course it works. It’s a banana slicer and it makes bananas into sliced bananas.
But do you know what else it does? NOTHING.
Unlike a knife which, aside from cooking, will unlock any number of parcels, paint cans, or plastic packaging, unlike a mandolin, which will slice everything from cucs to zuccs to carrots, the banana slicer is a one trick pony in a kitchen that is built on versatility.
“Think of the children!” you cry! How about you think of the plastic cutlery you brought home with your Wendy’s baked potato and chili. Pop the knife through the cellophane (ooh, see how easy that was for a knife?) and let the kid go to town. Instead of spending time online looking for a solution to your dire unsliced banana problem, sit the kid down for five minutes and have them cut through Play-Doh, or find a video to help you improve your own inept knife skills.
Hitler!
Two Stars (and a bonus star for the yellow twist ties which matched the yellow plastic of the Hutz).

That looks easy enough and I try to avoid canned soups as much as I can because of the sodium. Thank you!
Ha! Freudian slip? "for pregnancy and beast feeding"
And, that is a very good question. I'm guessing it such small doses it'd likely be ok but not sure.
Yes it is. Works with any meat or seafood, apparently.
Nice technique. Screen captured!
This from the NYT is interesting. It's more about a technique than a recipe.
Grilled Shrimp With Chile and Garlic
Shrimp are a treat and should be handled as such — and this recipe guarantees grilled shrimp that are reliably juicy, charred and seasoned. First, try this trick from J. Kenji López-Alt for plump meat with a browned crust: Stir a little baking soda into mayonnaise, and season it with salt, garlic and chile, which will intensify in the mayonnaise’s fat. Coat the shrimp in the mayonnaise mixture and refrigerate for up to 30 minutes, then grill mostly on one side to avoid overcooking. Eat over grains, lettuces, lemon pasta or noodle salad; in tortillas or pita; or popped right into your mouth. As far as seasonings go, start with chile and garlic, then switch up subsequent batches with lemon zest, Old Bay, ginger and more.
INGREDIENTS
6 garlic cloves
½ to 1 fresh hot chile, such as jalapeño or Fresno (depending on the chile’s kick and your heat tolerance)
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
Heaping 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on, patted dry
PREPARATION
Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for high heat. (If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a cast-iron skillet over high heat, with the vent on, following the same timing.) Using a Microplane or the small holes of a box grater, grate the garlic and chile into a medium bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, salt and baking soda. Add the shrimp and stir to combine. Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes.
Clean the grates with a grill brush (no need to grease the grates), then grill the shrimp until well browned, 2 to 4 minutes. (If using a gas grill, close the lid to maintain temperature.) Flip and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 2 minutes. Eat right away.

One of the commenters points explains:
George 3 hours ago
Baking soda on any protein is a method of velveting. It prevents toughness by altering the proteins preventing them from binding as tightly when cooked. It's virtually a necessity on chicken breast.
Then stay that way. As I said, the only real reason to make your own mayo is for special occasions. Say, if you were serving cold salmon for a special occasion.
It's a different experience.
That's just it, I love Hellman's. If i made it I'd need to keep making it until I got it right for my taste. I'm basically lazy and happy
Homemade mayo is dead easy to make. Even if you only happen to have a whisk, no blender or food processor. But the easiest is to use the blender.
If you want yours richer than Hellman's, you could always use two egg yolks only. All you need is the yolks or whole eggs, or one whole egg and an extra yolk, lemon juice or vinegar, salt, oil, and, if you want it, a little Dijon or powdered mustard.
Unless you plan to use the mayo for something special, it's best not to use olive oil, even the light kind. Grapeseed might be best, but anything neutral will do.
But it doesn't taste right on a tuna salad sandwich. For that, you want Hellman's.
Yes please, both look great!!
Interesting to see the recipe. I've never made homemade mayo, I might try when I get to retire, but Hellman's had been a good product... maybe I don't know what I'm missing.
I'd break pasta before adding sugar to a BLT
They both look tasty...
Corn season is here. We eat lots of corn on the cob, but I love making these 2 recipes for sides.

Try making your own. No MSG
FWIW.....Kewpie Mayonnaise sold in the states does not contain added MSG.
There is some natural msg in some ingredients.
https://pickledplum.com/japanese-mayo-kewpie/print/46885/
If I want sugar in things, I use Splenda or stevia. Coleslaw, for example, needs both mayo and sugar. But a BLT emphatically does NOT need sugar.
Hmmm, I know sugar is a non starter for you, and I'm not sure about sugar in mayo either. But if I see it, I'll try it.
Apparently the kind made in this country doesn't contain MSG, but does contain sugar. So...
Interesting. I wish it didn't have MSG though. I'm sooo picky!
lol, I suppose that would make a substitution for Condensed Cream of Chicken soup, I suppose.
Same here. Duke's would be hard to find around here, but Kewpie wouldn't be. Normally, I get either Hellman's or the Whole Foods store brand. It's creamier than Hellman's.
