Vintage Gadget- 1950's Mouli Salad Maker

[@cristywyndham-shaw5111]

That gadget looks like something that could land on the moon. 😂

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Lol right?!

[@lisacusenza716]

It really does!

[@donnalane737]

Have used one for years! Great for bread crumbs and making hash browns

[@annettemullins82]

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! ❤️

[@LaciFayTheVintageGirlNextDoor]

Yeah it wasn’t bad on the cabbage!

[@StephanieCanada]

“It looks like… a… thing…” Don’t worry Laci, I filled in the blank. And died laughing!! Keep that monetization status girl.

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.

[@pattyadams4355]

I have a vintage Mouli salad maker #2, the orange one, and I use mine often.

[@lizc752]

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.

[@rickajho]

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.

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.

[@iaintfraidofnowoke]

My dad's mother had one of these. When I did get to visit, this was in use quite a bit for coleslaw, shredded lettuce for tacos, and the other pieces just sat.

[@GriseldaVonWeisboden]

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.

OHMIGOSH! I have been looking for this forever! I thought it was for cheese because that is what my mom used it for! It was the fastest and most efficient way of grating cheese I've ever found. I kept on searching online for this this machine but with no luck. Thank you for sharing this! I'm so excited to finally find this!

[@attykim9099]

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!

Oh nice!

[@TN-ny1yg]

This is one of my Favorite show of your ! 1950s 😊Sophia Maria Nettles!

[@LynxSouth]

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.

I have one of these. I use the slicer for shredding cabbage and works great. Cheese is super easy to shred.

[@starshinechic]

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.

[@alyssarosengard6674]

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.

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 👍.

[@fazergazer]

I watched the episode where you thrifted this and was eager to see you try it out! Thanks!

[@AriesGirlTAROT]

LOVE your hair color! It looks natural, which is always my favorite. Looks beautiful. Cole slaw is a favorite of mine. I don't like carrot in mine so only use enough for color. It's easy to screw up cole slaw. I like it creamy, easy on the vinegar. Pinch of sugar. Cabbage needs to be finely shredded. I like plenty of white pepper. It's a basic recipe but really good slaw can be elusive. : )

[@corinebeaslebordeaux]

We had this salad maker at home in France in the 70's... I have made a lot of carrot salads when i was a kid..

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

[@greyeaglem]

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.

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!”
