I'm just curious, but in your photo of the julienned beets the sticks look a little limp and wondered if you par boiled them or roasted them first to get them soft enough to run through the blades and achieve a uniform matchstick strip....or is this the magic of the oxo steel machine compared to other less expensive machines?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119912510734046649.post-41280731934170534482011-05-19T10:50:38.904-04:002011-05-19T10:50:38.904-04:00Seriously nice haul!
