I like adding slices of oranges and lemons to water. Would this mandoline be able to handle slicing through orange and lemon peel

it took the entire tip of my thumb off, so a lemon should be easy peasy lemon squeezy :)

Well, this mandoline had no problems slicing thru wooden skewers and a plastic handle. My experience based guess is that you will not have any issues slicing oranges or lemons, including peels.

I have not sliced citrus fruits with my mandolin. Slicing some heavy rind fruits should work, though it may dull the blade if used for this frequently.

Yes, I have used this before for all fruits.....stays sharp and easy to use

I have not used mine for slicing yet. The only thing I used mine for is shredding carrots, and it worked beautifully. Sorry I can not help you with your question.

I have cut apple 'spaghetti' to put in a dehydrator for little sticks - it is so sharp that they come out perfectly. I don't see why the mandoline would not be sharp enough to work the same magic on zuccini!

Yes, absolutely! Infact, because it is so sharp, it slices right through the tomato with ease, and you can get really thin slices. A little pressure and it goes right through. You don't have to slide the knife forwards and backwards waiting for the skin to give way.

I had sliced any lemons before your question, but I did have a slightly older line in my refrigerator and thought I would try it on that. this machine continues to amaze me I love it. the to millimeter slicing blade did paper thin slices perfectly. z4 millimeter blade actually sliced in a quarter inch thick. hope this is helpful to you.

Hello Jennifer, I've used it on everything from tomatoes to kiwi fruit and vegetables. On oranges it doesn't do enough in a single pass so you will have to do it twice. Much easier to use a knife. An excellent peeler but be careful of your fingers as it is easy to cut a finger if you are a bit careles. If you are like me, you will only do that once though. Well worth owning one. I bought a few and handed them around to all my family members. Regards, Peter

I don't use it much at all anymore. Got it out the other day and replaced it with my Mac santoku which I love. It does slice well, but I'm not really pleased with it. I don't know if it would work on harder veggies, I also use a Forschner 8" chef's knife for harder things, seems more sturdy.

As long as you're careful when you press the knife into the crust I don't think you should have a problem. I have used it to cut potatoes with it before. Just make sure that when you cut through the crust that you press straight down gently and don't force it. If this works for you I would appreciate a response to let me know that it can be used for this purpose. Thank you.

Not that I'm aware of. It is made out of steel so it can take so larger pieces of fruit, unlike the plastic one I had. That one was fine for small lemons or limes but did not have the strength for oranges. Warranty or not I'm very happy to add this to my arsenal of kitchen tools.

My experience was pretty bad. I ended up throwing mine away. The blade wouldn't cut through any vegetable with a skin (e.g. eggplant, zucchini, etc) without tearing the vegetable. Even after I got the blade professionally sharpened. I would suggest a mandoline with a blade set at an angle.

Definitely lemons and limes-I think that a large orange would need to be cut in fourths to fit properly between the handles but I'm sure it would work fine that way.

Hello Andy! This juicer will be great for juicing citrus such as oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, etc. This unit uses a reamer to juice.

It was easy to use and quite sturdy. My wife had never used a mandoline slicer before She made eggplant parmesan and now she loves. I would definetly recommend this slicer.

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.

I would say "No". It works great for oranges, limes and lemons though. It's made with plastic parts, so be gentle with it.

I use it for citrus all the time. It's perfect. I don't peel them at all. But that depends on whether you like the somewhat bitter flavor of the oils in the skins which I really love. You can also grate them totally or partially. I use 2 whole oranges or 1 grapefruit, 1 cucumber, 1 carrot, 2 or 3 apples and a chunk of ginger root almost everyday. It's perfect.
