I know Dan Cormier uses his version of a potato peeler, so it does seem like a mandolin should work. Will have to keep an eye out for a used one to test it. I would think the cane would need to be pretty cold and perhaps wrapped in scrap clay to keep it from smooshing. I am curious about this too Jocelyn!

Always thought it might work if you sprayed the unit with something like WD40 to make it a smooth motion. If you did, could you share the brand name of the device?

Look for the ones with the smooth blades not the serrated ones if you want a really clean cut!
