I need one that can julienne zucchini, does this have an attachement to make the longer julienne veggies?

Don't know. All I've been able to do so far is cut my finger (because I didn't use the guard.)

Hello Susano, I don't know if this will work for longer julienne veggies, but I do make nice long julienne "french fried" potatoes using this slicer. Do you have a specific purpose ie recipe for the longer julienne zucchini? Please let me know what that is, and I will try it for you before you purchase this slicer. You can contact me here, or at my email joyrose94@yahoo.comThank youVal

yes. it cuts small fries blades rotate up in the base and you can cut things as long as the base. also a bigger blades for bigger fries. vera

It has little spike blades that pop up at varying degrees through the white plastic that I believe you would be able to use for that.

There are five blades: Grater, Fine Shredder, Coarse Shredder,, Wedge/Wafflw Blade and Slicer. It has a french fry cutter on the base that you use with the slicer blade, I'm not sure if that can be used or not, it cuts widths from 3mm to 9mm. I hope this helps.

Absolutely!!!! Crinkle cut, variant thickness, juicer and and nice instruction booklet with suggestions.

Hi Susan- I havent used all the blades yet, but there is a blade called the adjustable slicer, which I used to slice thin lemon slices- it should work well with zucchini as well as the fries blades which julienes a bit larger. hope this helps

Yes, the julienne slicer is built into the base with 2 different widths to chose from and the built in slicer blade is also adjustable; you just need to play with the options to get the julienne sizes you like.

I used the spiral slicer for zucchini on the smallest setting and I steamed it and it did not fall apart. Also, I put it in soupand it did not fall apart.

I didn't know you could get extra cones. Does any one know if they have one that will julienne the vegetables?

it's really meant to be a basic slicer. I guess you could lay a carrot or small potato "sideways" and make slices and then cut them into julienne pieces, but that may be a more advanced cut. However, if you only want thin 'shreds' and the shape isn't important, it could certainly do that on the thinnest setting.

Based on my experiences using it, I don't think this up to making fries out of those vegetables. Very tough veggies seem to get stuck on the mandolin blade when you are using the julienne blades. You'd probably need something a little more heavy duty for those veggies.

I can't compare to a V-slicer as it has been years since I have used one, but I can say that the julienne blades were just fine for harder vegetables. The challenge is, and seems to be the recurring theme with any advice that I give about this product, that the lack of a stand makes it very hard to put your weight against the device. With harder vegetables where it takes a little more elbow grease, the blades are sharp and clean but you are often pulling your vegetable through the slicer as opposed to pushing. That can become somewhat annoying. But I have enjoyed the machine for a variety of uses and think that the julienne blades work nicely. I am not a chef though, so I don't know how precise your needs are.

Yes--that is what I bought it for. I used the peeler to make the zucchini noodles, sauteed with a tomato and garlic in olive oil until a little soft, finished with a dusting of Parmesan cheese and a little chopped basil. I gave this peeler as Christmas gifts to my family members since I liked mine so much.

Yes, the device comes with three different julienne sizes, but you have to be somewhat gentle with the julienne blades. The very finest/smallest bent pretty easily when I was trying to shred carrots.

I have only used it for carrots but I imagine zucchini or small cucumbers might work. For the results you get with the carrots alone, it is well worth the price.

I have two separate ones. One makes slices and one makes julienne cuts. It is worth buying both as it makes life a whole lot easier.

no, the finest blade is not that fine, I think it is 1/8th inch. It is more about creating long noodle shapes from the zucchini that taste great, and are very healthy, that will go with all kinds of sauces. It will not create as many shapes as you would get with pasta machine or dry pasta

Yes. It comes with a small holder. Does not hold veggies very well when they get small though, but be careful the blade is very sharp

Eleonor...I Am sorry u are having such hard time with it! If u hold the zucchini upright in your left hand, and peel downward with your right ...u should get some nice long strings that look like spaghetti. Not sure why is not working out for you....I really love this little simple tool. Pls let me know if u are having better luck with it....:-)

it doesn't include a grater. I'm not sure about making stands from veggies.

It would peel the zucchini for you. You can loosen the nut and move the corer so that it doesn't core or slice.

It will adjust for thinness/thickness for slicing. I think you would need a different tool that has attachments in order to julienne something. Hope that helps.

I love my mandoline, but zucchini is difficult if you're looking for lengthwise strips. The guard can work to push the zucchini, but it really only works the way it's intended if you are looking to make chip-style cuts.
