Influencer Logan Moffitt offers tips for using a mandoline safely and avoiding injuries while making his viral cucumber salads
Every now and then, cooks collectively crown a new “it” vegetable, as if the produce aisle were the site of Hollywood-style auditions.
In an interview, 23-year-old Moffitt says he’s aware that he’s not only led the craze for cucumber salads, but also launched a smaller sub-trend: mandoline-related injuries. And now people are documenting their tales of cucumber preparation gone wrong. Bec Hardgrave, a popular fitness content creator, postedin which she attempted to re-create Moffitt’s salmon-cream cheese salad using a brand new gadget. She shows herself blithely chatting to the camera and running the cucumber across the mandoline, though she mercifully edited out the moment she cut her hand, instead cutting the video to a hospital where she had sought treatment. .
And even though he makes quick work of slicing, “If I was a beginner, I would just take it slowly with those mandolines,” Moffitt says. He recentlyunderscoring this point. Over audio from that other viral sensation of the summer — TikToker Jools Lebron counseling people to appear “very demure, very mindful” at work — he demonstrates a slow technique, offering a pointed look at the camera and the caption “me to yall who aren’t mindful of the mandoline.
The downside to a knife, though, is that it means there’s a cutting board to clean, and a part of the appeal of Moffitt’s videos is the relatively light dish load they create. Moffitt also frequently uses kitchen shears to cut herbs and other ingredients directly into the plastic vessel. “You just put the lid on and shake it,” he says, “and the only thing you’ve dirtied and in the entire process is the mandoline and the container, so it’s awesome.
