I use a mandoline. It used to take me easily 5+ minutes per onion to dice. Now I can get 2 onions diced in about 2 minutes. Less dramatic time savings are available for other veggies too, depending on how finely I want them chopped up.
I use one to slice cabbage. But I'm not convinced there are time savings because it tends to be a pita too wash.
Luckily I'm quite proficient with a knife so chopping an onion is a fast 2 minutes for me.
I know you're not supposed to, but I just stick mine in the dishwasher, and it seems to work fine.
Funnily enough, cabbage is one of the few things I don't use it for. It never really even occured to me.
Yeah, I really, really am not. You think you're proficient, then compare yourself to what you'd consider "normal". Then there's me, worse than that normal by a much bigger margin than the margin between you and normal.
