I bought this from a walmart demo &amp; the man diced onions &amp; potatoes vs strips. How is this done? I thought there was a piece that fits on the bottom?

The person doing demonstration makes it seem fantastic.. Not so much doesn't work well ... I returned it

I had this exact same problem. They were wedged together and my husband and I pulling together could not get the two pieces to separate. What I ended up doing that finally worked is this: Take two butter knives and stick them under the two tabs pushing them all the way up till you can see the tip of it coming through on the other side. Work them back and form and then start tugging. These seems to dislodge and unstuck it enough so you can get the two pieces apart. They work fine after this! It seems like they got pressed too tightly together during manufactoring or maybe the plastic dimensions are fiting just a bit too snug. I noticed from other reviews that when some people opened their product it was not "stuck" in all the way - whereas mine were completely pressed together where I could not see any of the ribbed bottom part. I think that may be why they became stuck. Hope this helps! We got ours apart!

The "tube" in the middle serves a purpose. Example, when doing zucchini (one of my favorites to run thru here), the packed rod that emerges from the bottom of the spiralizer is mostly the seeds from the middle. I just compost that. With carrots or potatoes, it is not waste, so what I do is chop it up and add it to the mix.

I have no idea what you are asking... Do you have this bowl in your cart and want to remove it? If so go to your Amazon cart and click "remove". Otherwise the bowl itself is its own bowl. So if you don't want to use it, you have to pick it up and put down another bowl. Sorry if that's not the answer you're looking for but your question was pretty vague.

There is a rim that "more or less" holds it in place. I find it easier when moving it to just take the lid off and carry the butter exposed in the dish. It would be nice if they would put some kind of handle on the lid but in lieu of that, when carrying the entire dish, I always wrap my hand around the entire top of the dish all the way to the bottom and grip it that way. Otherwise, as mentioned before, I take the lid off. Once you put the lid on and have it in place, however, the rim WILL keep the lid in place unless you jostle it hard. Hope this helps. Love this dish. Butter never goes bad and stays nice and soft. There is a rim that "more or less" holds it in place.

It is a strip slicer so cuts things into julienne strips, so with an onion it will act more like a grater than a slicer. I use it to grate zucchini and onions for my quinoa turkey meatballs recipe. And to julienne vegetables like carrots, zucchini, beets, cucumber, for salads etc

Turn the guard upside down and hold the guard so that the cap slides down, which should expose the four prongs. After the sweet potato is latched on, right the guard and slice away. I hope this explanation helps.

The smallest blade that came with my dicer is able to do very fine dicing. It's terrific for dicing onions. The holes are much smaller than the normal dicing blade which dices in cubes. Take care when shopping to pick the right one. I have noticed that some have it and some don't. I specifically chose the tiny dicing blade (it came on the same blade insert as the slicing blade) when shopping for mine. Some of the slicing blades are paired with the larger dicing disk so try to really check out the picture if available. I hope this helps you out.

It comes that way - a rasp on top - solid bottom base - unlike the box grater that most of the grated food ends up inside the box and minimal on the exterior- this high speed appliance grates and forces most of the food to the exterior and into the bowl - however not everything grates as it should and you will have to go through the bowl to take out the ungrated pieces. Always remember why you originally bought the food processor in the first place. I generally use mine for either potatoes where I find those larger pieces that are really not supposed to be in the latkes AND horseradish where the root is so hard it wore down my first blade over time - about ten years.

Each of the "strips" are in a sealed pack that has the instructions on which way the strip will fit for the top and the bottom, just read the directions and you should be good! I did find that you have to be careful opening the strip as they will tear on one side if you are too aggressive getting the strip open!

Not understanding that first answer. I have 2 stacked to separate potatoes and onions. Very happy with them.

You do not have to make any knife cuts. I put a detailed "how to dice" in my review, I'll copy it over here: It seems some folks haven't figured out how to dice with it. I make Indian food and the curry sauce takes lots and lots of onions. I can dice an onion in 30 seconds with this (safely and not hurrying). Cut the top off of the onion. Peel off the outer layers that you don't want. Push the bottom of the onion into the holder. The bottom is the part with the roots - you can't slice the last little bit in the holder, so don't cut the bottom off the onion during prep. It will end up being left in the holder and you can just throw it away. That way you don't have to worry about the last bit left in the holder. Lay the julienne blade flat on your counter all by itself, not in the slicer. The blades will be facing up. Slide the onion, in the holder, across the julienne blade - this is the prep slice. Put the julienne blade in the slicer. Turn the onion 45 degrees and slice it - it will come out diced, then turn it a 1/4 turn and slice, turn and slice, turn and slice - the whole onion comes out diced beautifully. The same can be done with potatoes and tomatoes. I seriously can dice up 6 onions in 3-4 minutes (after I peel the top layer and chop the ends off). There isn't any time for tears to even start. The holder looks like it is designed to only go down to the blade one way - with the wide part running down the rails but it doesn't catch even if you have the narrow sides parallel with the rails. So just switch back and forth for dices. No need to make knife cuts in the veggies.

I have one and I just use the regular size that you get at the store. I have cut them in half if I felt they were too long or too fat though, and it works just fine that way. Also works good if you need to dice onions

I'm not sure about your question but the container opens so you can put the onion inside and then screw the top piece of the container closed.

You don't dice with it - not that I have figured out.Everything is vertical - so you can Julienne with it - but dicing would be (pardon the pun) dicey.

I found this product at CVS and I did the same thing. I put half an onion in and it is stuck. I am going to return it as is! Do not buy this product!

I quarter the onion and do not use the bottom lid. Without the bottom you can chop more; I use a chopping board
