I read it slices up to .2 inches thick. Is that correct? Can it handle firm vegetables since this product is etched, not stamped. Cooks Illustrated re

This unit can handle firm vegetables no problem. It can also cut to at least .25. Not home to measure but that is about right. You could always contact Rosle directly for exact measurements.

Not sure what you mean by etched, not stamped and how that relates to your question. I have never measured the thickness of my cuts, but it will slice pretty thin. In my opinion it can handle firm 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.

The blade's cutting power is quite weak. It might cut through a slice of deli sandwich meat or a hot dog. Anything tougher than that- not a chance. If you chop long enough (with a food it can handle), it will cut down to mince size. I've only had success chopping garlic, and only if I cut the cloves in half or quarters first. Fresh herbs, even tender basil leaves- poor results. Onions- poor results. Bell peppers- poor results. And these are less tough than meat.

I've used it to slice through a 3/4 inch pork chop like a hot knife through butter. It is a sharp knife.. Be careful, my finger can back me up on this one.

I have only used the cutter for meat & cheese...But, you have a good idea...If the veg was firm I don't see a problem...but if soft & mushy I don't think it will work for ya...

No, this knife is difficult to operate easily. I would try a different brand that specifically states its use on thick rind foods. Best wishes. Angelica

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'm not sure what you mean by a V-slicer and I don't think I've used one so I can't say. The julienne blades don't work well with harder vegetables. It's a shame because that's what we really wanted it for but...oh, well. I know others have said that it does work well so perhaps it is our inexperience with it. It's our first. We will try again and let you know!

im away from actually looking at it so i cant be specific. probably not that thick but getting there. if your doing a lot of slicing as it sounds like you are you probably should buy it, you will be happy with it.

Hi, yes I have, it was fine. The slicer works well with most vegetables, softest I have found to be cucumber.

Yes! Nice, sturdy blade. I haven't had opportunity to use it a whole lot, but I HAVE cut potatoes and carrots, and chopped frozen green beans with it, and I don't recall ANY flexing whatsoever. I don't cook squash, and am not really even very familiar with the texture/consistency of uncooked squash, so I can't speak directly to that...

I would not recommend it for hard cheese as the cheese would stick too much to the blade.Cleaning the blade also would be a little more dangerous since you would have to take theblade out to clean. The unit works well for typical vegetables as with any other slicer of thisnature.

My granddaughter has mine at the present but I think you can adjust the blade so it slices thicker.

It is definitely strong/sharp enough to fut through a potato. I do it all the time. On carrots I cut and then roll so that the cuts are in opposite sides (a bit OCD here). The trick is to hold it with the thumb and first finger above the actual blade. Easy peasy.

I am sorry I can not help you . I do not know the answer I am using the blade the slicer came with as I am afraid to change the blade.... It is very sharp.... good luck

Have not cut peperoni, but have shaved semi-froze raw beef and American cheese you could see through and that was with the serrated blade. Have not tried the smooth one yet. As long as you know it is a home slicer and not the one in the super market you should be very happy with the 615. It will slice down to less than a 1/4" heal. I have also sliced very nutty and course fruit fruit cakes in 3/16" slices and did not tear up.

We have only cut about 1/2 inch slices. Beyond that, we are not sure. Hope that helps. We are very pleased with our slicer.
