Some of the cheap food processors are $30 and a japanese style mandoline can be $10.  The nearly disposible cheap mandolines are basically razorblades mounted in plastic; even the pros will fall back on one sometimes.  The french mandolines are more expensive but are a fixture in fine dining restaurants; though the robot coupe has supplanted them for high throughput operations.  Some people with good knife skills will turn up their nose at using the mandoline for jullienne or slicing, but for waffle cuts it is absolutely required.  &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt; &lt;/P&gt;
