My Mother in law had one of these. She would always use it when she made her cole slaw. The cabbage was shredded very fine. She would just fill the hopper as full as she could get it, closed the lid, and shredded the daylights out of it! ❤️

My mom had one when I was growing up. I loved it and bought my own from an antique store back in the 80's and used it all the time to shred cheese. Now that I'm in my 60's I buy my cheese already shredded. But I still have my Mouli.
“Team Lucy to team Marilyn.” I love that! I love Lucy Ball and Marilyn Monroe.
My mother got one of these in the 50's and I remember using it to grate cheese. I can see that you discovered why we all eventually went "electric"; these old tools are VERY labor intensive.
I have a "Saladmaster" from the 1950s or 1960s and the "feet" on the legs have suction cups. It could be the legs on this salad maker should also suction, but the rubber is old and brittle.
MY FAMILY HAD ONE OF THOSE GROWING UP. ugh i miss it. It shredded veggies and cheeses soooo nicely. Arguably my favorite gadget back in the day.
I have a vintage Mouli salad maker #2, the orange one, and I use mine often.
hi! if you place a damp towel underneath the hardened rubber feet, it will keep the gadget from sliding around while you twist the handle. thanks for the video. love seeing these vintage pieces breathing new life!
Have used one for years! Great for bread crumbs and making hash browns
I so miss the red hair but always an epic vid!

Hi!! Ahh thanks so much!
If I'm not mistaken, they brought the Mouli back in the '80s as an "As seen on TV" product. It had an orange plastic body, but the discs were still metal. Also, salad dressing has some sugar in it, so when substituting mayo, you need to add some sugar.
I love to slice vegetables. I have a favorite knife and I love slicing. It’s very relaxing to me.
Oh my goodness! I had total recall when you pulled this kitchen gadget out. My Grandma and I struggled using the same brand and even Grandpa tried to make it work. It was a failure. We had a great laugh. Thanks for the memories.
We had one of these when I grew up in the 70s/80s in Sweden, we used it a lot especieally for grating potatoes. What I remember the most, is that my hands hurt from using it, so it wasn't one of my favourite gadgets...
Consider this a rotary box grater. If you can't do it on a box grater - like chopping - it's not going to happen on a Mouli either. But what it can do like shredding carrots, cabbage, cheeses it does excellently and faster than a box grater. And no knuckle blood in your salad either. Tips: Don't hurt yourself bearing down on the hopper handle. All that does is make it harder to rotate the blade. It certainly won't make the Mouli work better. When doing cabbage fill the hopper with several pieces to keep them in place for most of the shredding. You can make the cabbage pieces taller than the hopper but not much. If you are going to get one: The originals, both metal and plastic body, come with 5 discs. If a seller isn't showing the discs chances are there is a reason. I think the white version only comes with 3, and a new non-Mouli out there definitely comes with just 3. Get one with 5 discs. And make sure it has feet and they are in good condition. Love mine. Haven't used a box grater since I bought it.
Thinking a damp dish towel under the your salad maker and the plate would have helped it not slide around so much?

My friend is selling her house and I’ve been helping her clean out. She is giving me a cart very much like the one in your kitchen-except it is rusty with white metal shelves not the beautiful blue that your husband refinished yours to (although I plan on refinishing it) and she gave me a magazine that she said when she saw it she knew it was totally me-it’s from 1954 and called Everywoman’s, the Romans guise to better living. I’m so excited to look through it but I have to say when she gave me both the items the first thing I thought was “ooh Laci would love these!”
This is one of my Favorite show of your ! 1950s 😊Sophia Maria Nettles!
Your hair!! Strawberry blonde!!! Love it!! Team Marilyn and Team Lana Turner! 🥰 That salad maker is a fun vintage gadget, but kinda temperamental. I do remember the salad shooter. It was hard to clean and not worth the trouble. Good to see you again Lacy Fay. Stay safe and well.

Yay! Thanks so much! Yes, definitely a bit hard to clean.
I had one of those but I traded it for the orange plastic one which is a little bit bigger. I have used it for years, for cabbage,carrots,potatoes and cheese. There is a learning curve to cutting and loading,but i love it because cleanup is so easy. I just put it under running water,and set somewhere to dry. I have never used the discs with the fine holes.
for something that's been sitting on a shelf for years it works pretty good, I BOUGHT A NEW SLICER FROM AMAZON OVER 30.00 DOLLARS TO SLICE THIN CHEESE , NEVER WORKED A PLASTIC PIECE OF JUNK, THINGS WERE BETTER MADE YEARS AGO, I STILL HAVE A MIXER MY AUNT GAVE ME FROM THE 1950'S WORKS GREAT AND I USE IT EVERY WEEK, LOVED THE VIDEO, THANK YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE CLOTHES SHOPPING STAY SAFE AND WELL. EVERYBODY.
Gotta remember that technology a half century ago…it’s pretty darn good keeping that in mind
Hi Laci, I thought there was something different about you. Pretty hair color, but I really love you in the red hair 🥰 Loving your outfit. It has a Fall vibe. 🍁Love when you try out these vintage gadgets 😊 So fun to see how they were used and cool that you have the original box as well. 💕

I have that cookbook. I collect 1970s on back

Love the blonde hair! And yes, I had a Salad Shooter. I wore it out and found another on eBay because they were no longer manufactured. Looks like they're back in style. Saw them on Amazon. Now I do everything by hand or use a food processor. Fun video and recipe! :)
That is the gadget we have in our cupboard! OMG ! we used to grate cheese that way! i love that thing!!! we had to press a bit firmly and make sure it was flush .. you might get non slip thingys for the feet
We have one of these!!! Found it at the goodwill several years ago! Works great-but there is some evidence whoever had it last put the blades in upside down… had to bend the edges back out on some discs…
Salad Master Brand had the best manual hand crank slicer /shredder. I had one and used it for many years..they also had great cookware. You can still buy the cookware today…but the old stuff was the bomb. I still have and use the electric skillet that they made…could make the best fried chicken with no oil at all.
I have one of these. I use the slicer for shredding cabbage and works great. Cheese is super easy to shred.
I’m loving this shade of blonde on you! You’re stunning as always! I really missed your gadget videos! Hope you’re well! ♥️
We use ours on the chopping blade and make hash browns. Then we fry them in bacon grease. So good!
Laci, your hair, and eyebrows are giving me vintage life. I love the blonde! 😍😍😍

Hi! Thanks! It did work pretty well for those few things.
This explains why my Mom often "let" me or my sister grind the slaw, but our crank-slicer worked a lot better than Laci Fay's endeavor. A few one-minute cycles, and we were good for salad for a family of five.
Love your videos please make more they are so good they make me happy
Can I just say you rock every hair color from the rainbow? 😍
Miss Laci the part two of your vintage home tour I love your videos as I also love the 1950s
My grandmother had this gadget and she always used it for coleslaw. I only used it once, but I don't remember it being this difficult. There were the few leaves that wouldn't shred though. I wish I could remember exactly how she cut each slice of cabbage. 🤔
My mom had one of these only plastic from the 70's. We mainly used it to shred cheese :-)
This is such a fun channel. So calming and so much fun. The color looks amazing on you

So you have to push the thing a lot closer to the hopper and kind of lean on it, it will work great if you try that! I have one but no box, really appreciated the close up of that, thank you! (And I remember the salad shooter!)
I’ve used one for years and love it. I you fill the cup and put a little pressure on the handle it’s great. I think you need practice that’s all. 👍💕
You can pull off any hair color! You are goals ❤️❤️ you radiate beauty!!
We had one when I was younger. Kind of fun for slaw
Great demo. I do remember the salad shooter. My mom had one. This one is like gadgets you buy then use them a few times and find it is quicker and easier to do manually. We all get them. My hubby and I are suckers for the “As seen in TV “ stuff. I few winners, especially things for kitties 🐱, but most other things, not so much. 😳🙄🤣 Have a wonderful day Laci. I like the blonde on you, but red is amazing too.

Thank you sir! Change is fun sometimes huh? This gadget was……interesting for sure!
I bought one of those around 1990. The base unit was plastic, but everything else was the same. It worked really well, but my hands are small, so I could grate only small pieces at a time. My huge-handed hubby, however, could crank out heaps of even tougher carrots in seconds, as fast as an electric food processor without the worry of over-chopping or the irritating noise. It very much depends on how much pressure you can exert with that thumb over the back of the handle.
This thing is fantastic! I have my grandmothers!
Wish you had asked if anyone had or used a Mouli. We could have given you some hints. My Mom had one & we still use it for Cole Slaw. First thing I would have told you you found out on your own. Use the bigger chopping blade. Wedges of cabbage do better then slices. Put a damp towel under Mouli & plate (no slipping). Rinse off blades right after using (Don't let food dry on the blades. BTW our Slaw is cabbage, carrot & green pepper w/sour cream. Hope hints help. Love the hair color. Hello to Johnny Cash.
There actually is a salad dressing that's not miracle whip although I think it is very similar and it's with the mayo. I only know this because I shop for an older lady who buys it, the first time I had no clue what to get as I never heard of it or seen it but it was there. I have to say that although the gadget looked cute it looked like it's mainly a carrot shredder 😂

Yes there is a slaw dressing but back in the 50s I am guessing they are talking about Miracle Whip
Your new hair color is cool. Watching you makes me happy. So Thanks
My mom had one and I have one as well! I always grab them at thrift stores when I find them. Usually a 70s version of them. The best cheese grater ever! I also use it to shred carrots and potatoes.
I remember my Grandma having one of these.
My mom used to have a nice food processor salad chopper when I was a kid in the 1990s I wish I could find it if I did it comes in the house to stay forever

First off, love all the videos I have seen. I have an apron with the cats and candy cane in the Christmas video and even a cat lady mug too! This is before finding your videos! Love your videos, Johnny Cash and the other cats too! The salad shooter looks like a modern day drone! Ha! Ha! Might want to take it into the back yard and see if it will take off! It might bring back a salad better than making one! Ha! Ha!
I missed a few videos, haven't been on KZread..haven't had the chance. I forgot how much smiles and joy you bring me and my husband! You're smiles, laughs and general energy are all so lovely. Peace and love, be well
Mrs Shell in jr high came back to class every Monday with a new hair color. My favorite was her red. She had perfect skin color for a red head just like yours. All her students had fun speculating what Monday's color was going to be. Who knew there were sooo many shades. Great memories. I like how this device straddled the vintage plate 👍.

I remember back in the 1970s (UK) my mum having a device that took the skins off the potatoes, it was a bowl covered in small rough bits and you attached a pipe to your tap, the force of the water turned the inside of the bowl around and the rough bits scratched the skins of the potatoes off, 🐝❤️another great video x
