DOES IT WORK WELL GRATING LEMON PEEL

The extra coarse is for grating vegetables or shredding cheese. Use a finer one for citrus zest.

Yes, very well. But for grating a lemon, I recommend the small grater, not the large coarse grater.

This particular grater would NOT be good for lemon peel. (This one is more for shredding cheese or veggies). For zesting lemons, look for the Microplane 40020 Classic Zester/Grater (http://www.amazon.com/Microplane-40020-Classic-Zester-Grater/dp/B00004S7V8/). That is the tool you're looking for.

It will grate lemon peel but I would recommend a smaller one to get the finer grating needed for lemon zest.

This one would shred it. If you want to grate a lemon peel youll want the finer one called zester/grater.

I have used this on pumpkins, winter squashes, you name it I probably peeled it. With larger pumpkins it takes a while and you aren't going to do it in long strips. It's sort of in pieces and the groves areas it's hard to get the skin off without taking large chunks. This does work better than the side peelers.

I have juiced both limes and lemons in this juicer and it does a decent job. They do need to be cut in quarters to fit into the feed chute. One of the juicing sites recommends peeling citrus with a potato peeler or something similar to remove the outer layer of skin if you don't like the super-tart taste of the citrus oil. I have done this and it works quite well. The white inner layer of the skin is supposed to contain extra nutrients so it is left on and run through the juicer.

Yes it does. Depending on what you are going to cook a little goes a long way. I have used it on several occasions with very satisfying results. Try it you will like it.

It accomodates larger lemons pretty well. I've never used it to press an orange, but I imagine you could make it work by cutting the orange into wedges.

It has for me but with a good bit of scrubbing. I use a microfiber cloth though so that may be part of it. It does a real good job on clean glass.

Haven't tried myself... I used it to pressure wash old stained wood, which it was great for. But having used it, I would say it would work on peeling paint.

Yes, I love this gadget. One of the bestest items I have bought..has been a lifesaver for peeling/and coring apples...don't believe it would work with butcher block wood. It works well on my quartz..suction is awesome....

It has two slicing disks and one does cut about that thickeness, and yes you can slice lemons. Just watch the video, it takes a little practice!

No. This is a small hand manual juicer. Rips thru lemons I needed to juice with ease. However it is all a manual process

It is great on toast. It is also is as a spread on Scones & Popovers. Here is a link to more info on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon_curd

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

Yes. It makes great slices of any tyoe. I've tried it with a lemon cheese cake slice - the result was fantastic. Every slice was nice and even.

Doris, For lemons and limes, the Metrokane works reasonably well....as long as they are small. Forget about oranges; the crank shaft gets stuck in one of the grooves and it just doesn't work. I ended up purchasing a vintage Wearever juicer that does a fantastic job!

Have not peeled any squash with it but it does a fine job on red potatoes and russet potatoes and if you are not careful when you wash it it will slice the heck out of your finger ,It comes with a blade protector try to hang on to it and replace it back on the blade when you are finished . best peeler I have ever owned .

Yes. This will do the job. I have one that my brother borrows all the time, and he bought one to give to his friend who has a v-e-r-y productive lemon tree. They use it all the time. (:
