My food processor slicing blade is broken and  at its age not replaceable.  I don't think I want to replace machine just because of slicer.

Any suggestions?  I want to make onion soup and knives don't like me.

If you could use chopped onions, you could try the pull and chop device:

Kuhn Rikon Set of 2 2-Cup Pull Chops  ---$29.98

Got may Dash mandolin at Bed and Bath and not mess with Q's processing and shipping horrors.

 

Use 20% off coupon, walk in, buy, walk out. No constant checking deliveries, paying shipping. Make life easier for yourself. It's the very same machine as that Zakerian one.

Cut the root end off the onion, set the onion on that newly cut flat end, cut straight down thru the middle, peel the outer layers off, lay the onion flat with the middle of the onion down. Use a fork to stabilize the onion and start slicing.

I'm one of those people who refuse to buy kitchen gadgets when my hands work just fine.

I use a large serving fork to stabilize onion and use it as a slicing guide.
