Will this slice pickles and olives?

Yes on pickles. Just tried it on a Claussen dill pickle. It worked great. I had never thought to try it before! I was not surprised that it did not work with an olive, at least not a kalamata pitted olive. It got mushy. By the way it works great to slice strawberries, and grapes

It should be fine with olives, I haven't tried it, but it only opens up about 3" or so, so it might not work well with pickles.

I think pitted olives would work well, but pickles? Not unless they are those little ones, the thing is just big enough to do a fair sized mushroom...

Pickles. Yes.Olives. Because the olives don't have much give it slices but kind of collapses on itself at the same time. It will get the job done but not every slice will be the perfect O shape.

I'm pretty sure it would slice olives without a problem. I think it could handle pickles but not 100% positive.

never tried pickles but use regularly for olives, mushrooms, eggs, water chestnuts and even radishes...I find that filing with two or three olives at a time works better as they don't collapse when slicing...I love it and so easy to clean

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife.It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

Yes it will. Pears are soft in general so set the peeler blade to take the thinnest cut possible

I can't honestly say that it will. I've used it for onions, boiled eggs and tuna and it was wonderful. I think if you go to qvc.com and search for this, they may still have a video showing everything it does. I know they used to, but it was a while ago.I think it could chop your vegetables. The blades are very, very sharp. Obviously, if you don't overload it, it will do a better job. Hope this helps. I don't think you would regret buying this.

As long as the bread isn't still warm (just out of the oven), I would think you would be able to slice with this knife. I bake a multi-grain bread in my breadmaker and as long as I let it cool I can slice it with little to no problem.

I have cut not only tomatoes, but cucumbers also. It will cut anything as long as it isn't too soft.

It will chop nuts not sure about hard veggies I only used it for salads, it isn't a sharp blade

No... it just slices... but is great for three different thicknesses of slice ... saves me incredible time in the kitchen making salads... and is worth every penny!

It doesn't say for olives anywhere but after using it for cherries I don't see why it wouldn't work on them.

After using this mandolin on cucumbers and onions, I think you would get a really thin ribbon of zucchini.I believe it would cut the zucchini just fine, but it wouldn't be very thick.

Yes it will slice frozen meat or cheese. Cheese is the real test as it is so dense.

It might but it has to be semi frozen. Easier to slice with a sharp knife while semi frozen or via a food processor slicer blade.

I haven't tried that, but I don't see why not. I just used it to cut up deli sliced turkey into strips for my grand kids. Love it for parsley and rosemary and thyme. Want to try all kinds of things with it. Best gadget ever!!!!

I'm sure it would, but I have not tried it on those. I prefer to keep this knife strictly for slicing breads

I really doubt it. I returned this machine because of poor quality. It did not cut even slices.

It's only around 4 inches wide so I would say no, unless it was a small cabbage and you quartered it before slicing. I wouldn't purchase this item it's very cheaply made particularly when you look at the price. When you bare down to slice it varies the thickness of the material you're cutting. I ultimately discarded the item is being useless.

I'm sorry, I don't know for sure. I am still using and enjoying this slicer.
