Would this work with celery? I want very tiny bits of celery for tuna salad.

Hey Jeff I bought it for my brother but I don't see why it wouldn't. I might suggest that you run it back and forth across the small end of the stalk rather than lengthwise. I will email my bro and ask him to try it and let me know. Sorry I couldn't give you, more of a definitive answer.

Wow, what an interesting subject. The softest food-object I've used the zester for is lemon rind, much of which (because of its softness and moisture-content) gets stuck in the grater's teeth. In my experience it works great for harder foods such as whole nutmeg and occasionally other similarly textured foods like very hard parmigiano. Although I have never tried celery, I imagine it is too moisture-laden and "limp" a food-object to be grated by the teeny "teeth" of this grater. Just put your magnification-eyeglasses on and dice with a good knife! Best regards!

I got curious so I went and tried it with some old, throw-away celery that's been sitting in my fridge for longer than I really want to say. The grated celery comes out as a very wet, pulp-like consistency (think...almost applesauce? not as smooth as applesauce), and the still-intact piece of celery gets stringy-er and stringy-er -- it appears some of the celery fibers don't get grated. It looks a lot like what happens when I run ginger through. Hope this helps. :)

I take a knife and cut the celery on a cutting board. Using the Nicer Dicer is ridiculous. I tried many times and it does not work the way the guy on tv showed us. Sometimes I make a mistake in purchasing an item. This was one of them.

Yes, but I use use a 9 1/4 inch salad plate. You could even use a 10 1/4 inch plate. I measured to be sure.

it could easily blend the vegetables if they were cooked first- if not- i suggest the food processor attachment or maybe you want a juicer? The blender is a 6c capacity. Don't put that much in in all at once.

Yes if you feed too fast leafy greens or in seriatim leafy material, cucumbers and celery. It's easy not to jam though. You can also jam the feed with too many large hard chunks at once. Short of the Norwalk the Kuvings is awesome. It's also more user friendly than the Norwalk for small batches.

I used mine with cheesecake and fruit filling. They are a bit sweet. I'm not sure they'd be the right taste for curried chicken salad.

I have not tried that but see no reason it would not work. Mayonnaise is about the same thickness as pudding and it will do that.

Hi Carrie, I suspect it would cook it OK..........with experimentation. I have no personal knowledge though.

I don't know about very small, but I used mine with some fairly small limes the other day. Worked just fine.

The granules wouldn't stick to the food, so unless your cat will lick it off the bottom of his/her bowl this won't work. Our cats get dry food, too, so we mix it into a little tuna for an evening treat.

Both speeds are pretty fast, it might depend on just how small you want your salad pieces. I think it might still work, I love mine.

Sorry, I can't help. When i received mine I found it was too small to work with the tomatoes and onions I use, so I gave it to someone.

I haven't tried celery in it. I did try some frozen kale and it juiced it a bit but not as much as I would have liked. Could have been because it was frozen.

I'm not sure how it would work for tuna because tuna flakes are pretty firm. For that reason, I don't know if they would squash like a cooked potato. I know for sure that a fork works well for mixing tuna.

Yes, it will work with all of the above. I usually put a combination of crunchy and soft veggies and fruits through mine. I concur with Dennis B below. The quality of juice from the Omega is the best but if you are concerned about quantity from soft fruits, consider a centrifugal machine.

I have juiced kale, spinach and cucumbers, it works fine with these veggies. I am sure it will work with broccoli and cauliflower, the blades are small and works well.
