would this easily cut a raw spaghetti, butternut or acorn squash in half?

While it WILL cut the squashes you mention, it will NOT cut a large Hubbard squash. I learned the hard way. By large, I mean the one I was trying to cut was 15 pounds, at least. And lest you think I jest, look up Hubbard squash. They grow very, very large (but once cut open and roasted, the meat lasted us all winter). The tip of the knife broke off.

I have only chopped nuts and veggies in this. I don't think the blades are sharp enough for meat, nor would the pieces be small enough IMO. Stick with a food processor.

Yes. But it will take at least a half hour with the "s" blade. Almond butter is not a quick process.

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 wouldn't think so, but I've never tried. It does a great job of pulverizing nuts and spices, but I don't know if it would go as far as butter.

I would not think it would as butternut squash is too big to fit and has a very hard rind

It really depends on how big your onion is. I quartered the one I chopped last night; bigger onions I have cut in half, then sliced the half into 3 wedges and used the chopper from there.

Yeah, probably. But you'd have to cut pieces first that fit in the cutter part. It's concave to accommodate olives, mushrooms, eggs, etc.

Have used for zucchini only so far. A friend used it on butternut squash too.

It cuts differently. I make spaghetti zucchini and other unique spaghetti shaped veggies the j cook in coconut oil or olive oil with a few more spices to add flavor topped with lemon juice. Kids like it because it looks like spaghetti

I think it would cut through semi hard vegies and nuts if the pieces were small enough

Yes. For processing raw veggies it takes a little more time, but works great for small batches just fine.

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 as others have said it will peel a butternut squash. Just made butternut squash soup last weekend.

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.

Not unless you have 2 hours. It get's clogged up constantly. Tried on Squash and it was a disaster. I am going to get something better for this.

Absolutely! it will blend, dice, cut, pulverize any veggie or leaf greens. My wife does broccoli, kale, and spinach in it all at the same time.
