To prevent foods from sticking to the mandoline surface when cutting, lightly grease the mandoline with a little cooking oil. 4. Different foods require different pressures when cutting. Softer foods, such as tomatoes, require less pressure, while harder foods, such as butternut squash, call for more pressure. 5. It is easiest to cut foods that are flat on the bottom. Trim rounded edges so they are flush with the cutting surface. 6. Prepare a quick salad or stir-fry with a mix of julienned and sliced vegetables. 7.
