I have to stop being gullable.I cannot believe that this thing does not come with a little manual or something. I am lucky to have found out where to put the darn batteries. I just wrote a review on a french fry cutter that came with no manual also. I have not used it yet as I have no clue as to what to use it on...??? This company could have at least included a little booklet of some sort.Save yourself the money and just get a shaker or use a blender.
