![]() ![]() The mandoline can do julienne cuts or straight cuts along with grating. The standalone spiralizer can cut large or small julienne strips or ribbon slices, while the dicer blades offer two different sizes. This model features five easily interchangeable blades and a dial to adjust cutting thickness, so your cuts are always the right size. Not just a mandoline, this can also chop, grate, spiralize, and store, so it’s a great tool for cooks who love their vegetarian food recipes. The non-slip "feet" are another nice touch that makes slicing over a bowl or cutting board even easier.īlade Style: Japanese | Thickness Settings: 3 | Blades Included: Straight Overall, the three slicing options covered all of our tasks with very little difficulty. We also liked how secure and comfortable the mandoline was to grip for being so small. ![]() With tomatoes, the slices were a bit uneven but still solid. We found that it made for nice thin slices of potato, and we were able to slice a full-size cucumber in about 30 seconds. While testing out the mandoline, we noticed that it was actually easier to slice firmer produce, whereas softer produce was occasionally more difficult to handle. Unlike other models, this one does not make julienne, wavy, or French fry cuts. It is dishwasher safe, and it comes with a hand guard. Since part of the mandoline is clear, it's easy to see the slices below and know how much you’ve cut. It has a non-slip handle, and the non-slip “foot” on the end keeps it from slipping around on the work surface. This hand-held OXO mandoline slicer adjusts to three different thicknesses for fruits and vegetables. OXO Good Grips Hand-Held Mandoline Slicer Review Replacement blades can be purchased separately, as well, so you will be able to keep using your mandoline for years.īlade Style: Japanese | Thickness Settings: Variable knob | Blades Included: Straight This is top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing will help preserve the blade's sharpness. The only caveat is that this Benriner model doesn't come with a variety of blade options, but if you are just looking for straight cuts, it will suit you just fine. Cuts are even and consistent, with no snagging, because the blade is very sharp. The wide-body construction allows you to cut without feeling restricted, and the hand guard isn’t limiting. We love it for slicing cabbages and daikon, but it still works well for smaller vegetables-even little radishes and potatoes (just be sure to use the included hand guard). The variable knob underneath allows you to select a variety of thicknesses, though there are no markings on the dial for precise measurements. ![]() If your kitchen needs include slicing bigger vegetables, like extra-large russet potatoes for chips or heads of cabbage for a coleslaw recipe, this is the tool for you.īoasting a 6.5-inch-wide cutting surface, this mandoline has a large stainless steel blade that slices right through just about anything. There's a reason why Benriner is often mentioned as the mandoline of choice in many professional kitchens: This Japanese-built slicer is simple in design, but it's also a real workhorse. Dozens of tomatoes, radishes, potatoes, carrots, zucchinis, and bell peppers were sliced into various sizes and styles, from straight and julienne to crinkle-cut and wavy, to test their multitasking capabilities and make sure these tools are truly the best mandolines on the market. To help you find which mandoline is right for your kitchen endeavors, we tested them side by side and evaluated each on design, ease of use, convenience, size, cleaning, and overall value. A mandoline replaces a knife for making those perfectly even cuts, and it’s particularly useful for making super-thin cuts for potato chips that are difficult with a knife. While uniform cuts make food look more presentable, they also mean that the food will cook evenly, so some bits won’t be soft while others are still crunchy. Some home cooks can handle a knife skillfully, though most don’t have as much practice as professional chefs, so their cuts are less likely to be identical. Slicing foods evenly is a skill that chefs learn in school and perfect over time.

![]() “My reading you that quote didn’t mean I was in favor of incrementalism, it means I was shocked that what they’re against is equality theory, legal reasoning, enlightenment rationalism and neutral principles of constitutional law. “I wouldn’t argue with anything MLK said … his philosophy is very much my philosophy,” Horne said. Horne defended his position in part by saying that he attended the March on Washington. “This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism.” He thinks he's doing right, but it's dragging us back The passage that Horne quoted also makes the case that Martin Luther King advocated in the Dream speech, when he discussed the “ fierce urgency of now.” For example, if you tell a Black person that it’s irrational for them to get offended over being called racist slurs, you might be right, but that perspective completely misses the point.) (Enlightenment rationalism, by the way, values logic above all else, which can be helpful in decision-making, but it’s not the way many cultures operate or view the world. I wouldn’t and neither would most voters because those words make no sense outside of academic circles … You know? Kinda like critical race theory? I digress. “Would you have any idea why they would be against ‘enlightenment rationalism’?” “Unlike traditional civil rights,” Horne read, “which embraces incrementalism and step-by-step progress, critical race theory addresses the very foundation of the liberal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, enlightenment rationalism and neutral principles of constitutional law. Horne quotes from “ Critical Race Theory: An Introduction” to show his frustration with the issue. Voters don't make these sorts of arguments He would have to wonder why his opponents are the people who advocate for Black, Hispanic and Native schoolchildren -the kids who would stand to get a boost from critical race theory coursework. Surely, Horne must recognize how divisive he’s being when he looks around to see that the people who support his anti-critical race theory stance are the same people screaming about a nearly 2-year-old election conspiracy theory. Here’s hoping Horne is exposed to some different perspectives, because we know that test scores as a measure of academic achievement are slanted toward upper middle-class and wealthy kids, and that those kids are disproportionately likely to be white -because of generations of institutional racism! … They push to stop having schools that admit by merit, that’s supposedly white oppression.”ĭebate remains: Measure limiting school instruction about race is revived “I thought it was racist, because I believe in logic, anybody can be racist, it’s not the monopoly of whites. “The more I looked into it, the more I was shocked about what was going on,” Horne said. It’s unbelievable that he’s still campaigning on an issue that he first raised more than a decade ago in a fight against ethnic studies in Tucson schools. Horne is campaigning on a decade-old idea since the nation’s birth, but have only been elected to the White House once, the governor’s office twice and the Senate six times since Reconstruction? He must occasionally wonder why are the numbers even worse for Native Americans?Ĭertainly, race and racism in public policy, law enforcement, housing and education would have to factor, and if we examine the effects on the present of decisions made in the past, we should be able to disrupt the cycle, creating more opportunity for equality, which is Horne’s stated goal. Surely, he must look around and wonder why is it that Black people have been in the U.S. Horne, a Harvard-educated political veteran, must understand that. ![]() Just ask anybody who got pulled over and asked to show their papers under Senate Bill 1070. Specifically, Horne takes an admirable position in saying that “race is irrelevant,” but that’s just not true. It’s a way to view historical events and their ongoing effects from a perspective that’s not centered exclusively around white men. ![]() Race does factor into these debatesīroadly, critical race theory is nothing more than a way to take race out of a purely historical context and situate it in the present day. It makes race preeminent, a preeminent quality.”īless his heart. Critical race theory teaches the opposite. Race is irrelevant, we’re all entitled to be judged on our individuality, and race doesn’t matter for anything. “My philosophy,” Horne said in a recent phone interview, “is that we’re all individuals, brothers and sisters under the skin. ![]() Create PDFs from scratch, edit natively, collaborate.

It has also been suggested ( 35– 37) that low chromium concentrations and the associated impairments in insulin, glucose, and lipid metabolism may also result in increased cardiovascular risk. These results suggest that there may be a more general relationship between chromium levels and glucose and/or lipid metabolism. There is no clinically defined state of chromium deficiency, but diabetes has been shown ( 32) to develop because of low chromium levels in experimental animals and in humans sustained by prolonged TPN. Importantly, LMWCr without bound chromium or in the presence of other metal ions is ineffective in activating insulin-dependent kinase activity and thus enhancing the actions of insulin ( 19). The result of this process is the activation of insulin receptor kinase and potentiation of the actions of insulin ( 15, 18, 19). ![]() 1) as it binds to insulin-activated insulin receptors and results in stimulating its tyrosine kinase activity. It is proposed that LMWCr then participates as part of an insulin signal amplification system ( Fig. Binding with chromium ions converts inactive LMWCr to its holo, or active, form. With this step, chromium is transferred from transferrin to LMWCr, which normally exists in insulin-dependent cells in the apo, or inactive, form. ![]() The pH of the internalized vesicle is reduced by ATP-driven proton pumps, chromium is released from transferrin, and the resulting free chromium is postulated to be sequestered by LMWCr ( 15, 17). Transferrin containing the plasma-bound chromium is postulated to bind to the transferrin receptors and is internalized by endocytosis ( Figs. It has been suggested that migration of transferrin receptors to the plasma membranes of insulin-insensitive cells after insulin stimulation is the initial step in this process. The principal carrier protein for chromium is transferrin, which also plays a critical role in the movement of chromium from blood to LMWCr. Once absorbed, chromium is distributed to various tissues of the body, but appears to be most concentrated in the kidney, muscle, and liver ( 16). Very little chromium (<2%) in the form of inorganic compounds is absorbed but may be higher with certain organic formulations ( 14). Therefore, normal dietary intake of chromium for adults may be suboptimal. Results from one study ( 10) indicated that daily chromium intakes for men and women in the U.S. However, it appears that Americans normally ingest ∼50–60% of the minimum suggested daily intake of 50 μg ( 7). National Academy of Sciences has established the Recommended Daily Allowances for chromium as 50–200 μg/day for adult men and women ( 11), which is also the Estimated Safe and Adequate Daily Dietary Intake (ESADDI) for chromium for children aged 7 years to adulthood ( 7, 12). Chromium is also present in many multivitamin/mineral supplements, and there are also specific chromium picolinate (CrP) supplements that contain 200–600 μg chromium per tablet ( 10). Trivalent chromium is found in a wide range of foods, including egg yolks, whole-grain products, high-bran breakfast cereals, coffee, nuts, green beans, broccoli, meat, brewer’s yeast, and some brands of wine and beer ( 8, 9). Chromium is now routinely added to TPN solutions ( 5). Other studies ( 4, 5) of the beneficial effects of chromium in patients receiving TPN have also been documented in the scientific literature. In the following 2 weeks, signs and symptoms of diabetes were ameliorated, with markedly improved glycemic status and greatly reduced insulin requirements (exogenous insulin requirements decreased from 45 units/day to none). Based on previous animal studies and preliminary human studies, the patient was given supplemental chromium. A patient receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN) developed severe signs of diabetes, including weight loss and hyperglycemia that was refractory to increasing insulin dosing ( 3). Interest regarding chromium administration in patients with diabetes was kindled by the observation in the 1970s that it truly was an essential nutrient required for normal carbohydrate metabolism. This factor was eventually suggested to be a biologically active form of trivalent chromium that could substantially lower plasma glucose levels in diabetic mice ( 2). The interest in chromium as a nutritional enhancement to glucose metabolism can be traced back to the 1950s, when it was suggested that brewer’s yeast contained a glucose tolerance factor (GTF) that prevented diabetes in experimental animals ( 1).
