How big is gap between blade and plastic shroud? Needs to be about 1/8" to make baby food.

Hi Daisy. For reasons that would take too long to explain, I actually have a digital caliper in my kitchen. The blades on this mixer will be too small for you, averaging around 3/8" from the shroud (0.3725" or 9.46mm). For what it's worth, we found a gently used magic bullet on a popular classified website for about this price and it makes very good baby food. This mixer works well for soups, but mashed potatoes are a bit too much for it. Good luck!

I would say by just looking at it, not measuring, 1/4 to 1/2 inch. I make tomato sauce with tomatoes from the garden and jelly and I have no problem, no chunks are left after I use this.

I am not sure about the exam spacing, but I can make smoothies out of the hardest frozen fruit. It chops extremely fine. My frozen fruit and juice are chopped almost to liquid. I believe it would be able to chop fine enough for baby food.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUOOOOOOOOOOO........<:) Thank you for such a quick reply!!! Do you happen to have the mixer,, if so, is it a '15' button mixer (including the long button on the left-side of the other buttons)? The black rubber seal on mine is the same measurement as yours. The plastic blender cutter blade on the outside on mine is the same, but, the inside of it is 1 and 9/16". Did you measure the inside of the plastic or just the rubber black seal? I'll wait for your answer when you get back from your B-Day bash. Thank you much. Judy

1/4th of an inch. It isn't deep enough if you are cutting a big piece of meat. Juices drain everywhere.

Hi Karen! There are three slice thicknesses: 1/16", 1/8", and 1/4". There is also a julienne blade. Janet

I have a 7" blade and about 1 inch sticks out. If I push it down really hard I can get it so about 1/4" sticks out.

1/2 inch, but it is not very dependable. Mine is 10 degrees off on the low side. Stuff comes out under cooked.

Sorry, I don't know. I do know that I made a mistake when I wanted to grate carrots and had the blade at the bottom running also and just about had baby food in seconds. I don't think it's designed to be a blender but I bet it could do the job for you.

The one I received was about 4" but that had no bearing on the scoby it produced. From my experience, they will be whatever diameter your container is. The wider the diameter, the thinner your new "baby" will be (unless you prefer to let it ferment for much longer periods of time. The mother can be smaller and still do her job.

I would say between 1/8" to 1/16". Somewhere in between there. you can change the thickness by how you angle it when cutting the cheese.

I didn't know so I tried an 8 inch blade. It was easy and may have taken 2 minutes longer than a larger sharpener would. I bought several for gifts.

The gap is larger enough for a small cup, bowl, or hand. The unit is seamless so the bottom cannot be easily removed without damaging it.

The opening is only about 1 3/8 inch wide. It's more suited to something up to 1 1/4 inch

Truthfully, I threw mine away as it was too large for my use. Tried to cut it down to use and was unsuccessful. On my memory I believe 3/8".

Just under 5 inches. http://www.radacutlery.com/kitchenknives/steakknives/utilitysteakknife

Hi,I am using a blade 8 inches in diameter. I did not use a bigger blade to avoid having too much torque on the handle.

The gap between the handle and the strainer is between 1 1/8" and 1 1/4" at it's most narrow point where the handle meets the area that would lay over the sink divider. However, it does have some flexibility.

The cutting area of the blade between the handles is 5-1/2 inches and pancakes or waffles were no bigger than that, I'm sure this would cut them fine since the blade seems sharp enough, but not so super-sharp that anyone would cut their fingers easily, so kids might be able to use this themselves if they were careful not to get their fingers underneath when pressing down hard.
