Can this also spiral slice vegetables?

I would say no. Works with firm fruit like apple and pear. But whew pear gets really ripe fruit falls off spindle. Forget tomatoes potatoes yes

I have not tried it on vegetables. It failed big time with apples and pears :(

I would not use this for vegies because the corer piece goes thru middle of apple and the spiral slices are very thin.

the only vegetable i have ever used was potatoes, i have loosened the spiral blade and used the peeler part only to make hash brown potatoes.my brother in-law peels and slices potatoes and fries the core part along with the slices when i do pears, the firm ones work best as the more ripe tend to not hold onto the prongs, so i guess that you cant slice and peel ripe tomatoes

It can spiral slice anything, but the core of the vegetable would be removed as well.

I use it only to slice apples for pie. Probably a big potato would fit on the points and spiral out nicely. The slicing part clings to the outside of the apple (or potato) and peels away all the outside rind or coat. You can chop up the little core that is removed. How hard is that? Since I got this gadget I make a LOT more pies. L.

If you remove the coreer and the peeler arm, you can slice anything that will stick on the three prongs. I have only done apples and potatoes, but I don't see why it wouldn't do anything that you wanted. There is a thumbscrew to remove the corer at the end of the device, a spring that will allow you to loosen up the peeler so it doesn't peel. This would leave you with only the spiral slicing. I don't believe it would slice all the way through though, since normally it does remove the cor. I have not tried to adjust that but it may be possible.

I would buy the spiralizer because it is way thinner slices (I have one that it great "Spirelli Spiral Cutter") and this does not have a grater.

Sure, the slicer will work with eggplant, if you use a smaller eggplant. The general idea is that it works well with any firm vegetable...and it should be used with a vegetable that is round..to get the turning action....Deb

I've never used it for vegetables, but I would imagine they'd have to be a hard veggie, like carrot or frozen pretty solid! And cut kind of small!

Yes it sure can. However, sometimes I find that it does "too good of a job". On things like onion used in a potatoe salad, it comes out more minced than my husband and I like. Sorta ends up mushy and I have to drain the onion juice away from the end product. It might be me though... I prefer to chop onion with a manual chopper. "Carrots, etc?" I love it!!! You will too!! I can't recall the differentiations of this model vs another as I did a comparison with a good share of other models and brands a long while back. it has done a superb job!.... Hope this helps.

I know you can slice fruit with it. I have not tried to slice vegetables but it also chops and purees Ice. I know it chops vegetables. Sorry that I can give you a better answer. I love mine.

Yes. There is a separate blade that be changed and used to shred cabbage, sprouts, onions, even zucchini. Quite easy to change once you've done it a few times."

it might, but it's not designed for that.......more for cheese.....things that stick to the knife when cut. You need more of a Santoku type knife for cutting hard veggies

Yes, as long as the cucumber itself isn't too mushy it slices it just fine! If you have trouble with this or anything else, like cheese, try freezing it for a few minutes first to harden it up before slicing.

It would core it while it spiral sliced and peeled it. I think that would be a waste of a lot of zucchini since it doesn't need to be cored! There's no way to avoid coring

Based on my experiences using it, I don't think this up to making fries out of those vegetables. Very tough veggies seem to get stuck on the mandolin blade when you are using the julienne blades. You'd probably need something a little more heavy duty for those veggies.

Sure but it will just get cut up a bit more. We use it for cutting up vegetables and then using as a serving dish.

I am not sure, but the blade cuts through the center of the bagle and it cannot be adjusted for slicing. The blade is extremely sharp, so I would not be inclined to try it.

I had the same question. It appears from answers here. The answer is no. It has no disks for slicing or anything else. It is just a chopper. Not the type of "food processor" I am looking for =(

You should be able to. I am very happy with my slicer. It has performed excellent for.me

In short no. This item is great for slicing but does not have and interchangeable julienne blade.

Yes, if the beet is large enough. There is a device that comes with it that you can push the vegetable down into the slicer. It works on carrots, etc.
