Question Commercial Bias Slicer?

Hey everyone,

The restaurant where I work uses a floor mixer with slicer attachment to cut carrots. The result is a short, inconsistently sized, 'julienne'. I think they are just a little small for stir fry and they dont look as nice as a hand-mandolin bias cut.We are an Asian 'noodle house' concept and carrots are important because they are cheap, go into lots of dishes, and so we go through several bags per week.

Is there a machine out there that would make relatively quick work out of a bag of carrots??. I'm lookink for a thin, angled cut that would cook quickly and look nicer than the shards we use.

Thanks!

with going through a couple bags a week, i think a mandolin would work fine. If you have a nice sharp one, you can rock on it.

Could you possibly purchase the carrots pre-cut from your purveyor?
