PrintJapanese Turning Slicer
Does anyone own one of these? Any idea where I could find a cheap one? I saw a recipe that used one and it stipped an apple into long, thin slices for a pastry dish. I have to get one.

Check Fante's market in Philadelphia. They have expensive ones and cheaper ones.

@gb944.....I forgot about Fante's and I lived in Philly and now live in the vicinity. I could spend a couple of days just browsing their inventory and fantasizing. Thanks so much for the link and the dreams! I might have to start a wish list, since they have everything beyond your wildest imagination.

These can be fun to use. Not cheap - think I paid around 50 bucks for the lowest price model I could find in NYC Chinatown. It gets some use in Summer when I want to spark up a salad or make a vegetable 'noodle'.
My favorite is a Slaw of carrot & daikon radish in a rice vinegar based dressing with the vegetables cut into ridiculously long coils.

I got the World Cuisine model for Christmas. It's shown on the Amazon website, but is out of stock, so there's price shown. I think it was in the neighborhood of $25. That model looks like a lot of plastic, but it's actually pretty well made, unless you really need an industrial model.
I've also seen spiral slicers at a local Asian supermarket.

couldn't you just set you mandolian to thinnest slice?

I don't think so because I am looking to make very long, thin slices that will lay across a sheet of pastry. Like a lasagne noodle.
I thought I could use my apple corer but that won't work.
