does it slice tomatoes

It would smash tomatoes. The blades only cut when using force! Good question.

I've never sliced tomatoes with this product and I don't think it would be good to use it on because of the amount of pressure you need to apply. I think you'd end up ruining your tomatoes and that would be quite messy. When using your slicer you need to have firm, fresh vegetables, nothing too soft or delicate like tomatoes.

I slice Roma tomatoes successfully with the slicing insert. First I quarter the tomatoes, then place a quarter, skin side up, and close the top.Actually I do not close the top, I hit it with my fist, just once, and the sliced tomatoes fall through. Works great for onions and green pepper also.Would probably work for other types of tomatoes, but I only use Roma.

NOT recommended. This unit is meant for grass and such thinner bladed plants. It does not cut heavier branch types. You could trim off tomato leaves but not the large branches for which pruning shears would work much better. I would be afraid that attempting to cut woody branches might spring the blades and ruin the tool. My neighbor and I have both used my new unit to trim around flower beds, etc., cutting lighter grasses and weeds and consider it most useful and real back-saver. We keep the blades cleaned and hinge oiled with WD 40 after each use so it will be ready for next summer.

This one will slice it. I bought this one for myself and I also replace my moms. Her old one was a peel away brand. It also slices but it is a much better peeler than this one.

No, it only slices. The one I ordered I only used twice. The second time the plastic holding the blade broke and the blade feel out.

I haven't used it since I sliced my finger. I was slicing tomatoes when it happened.

No, it works like a pencil sharpener. The carrot goes inside like a pencil and is shaved. To make a tomato curl you need a very sharp, thin knife. I submitted the photos on this page. It makes very nice curls from zucchini, cucumbers, and carrots.

I have never tried it for this, but it appears it would work the slicer is mostly made for vegetables. If you use it for this purpose It may work, but the lifespan of the equipment would be shorter.

I haven't sliced either onions or tomatoes with mine, but there is little doubt it would slice tyhem with ease. Unless you were going to slice large quantities, however, I wouldn't go thru the process of cleaning it just to slice a couple of tomatoes or onions.

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!

Hi, I have never used it for tomato cuttings, but I have successfully used it to help baby orchids grow roots after losing the mother plant. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer about tomatoes. :)

Only small, firm tomatoes. Even though the blade is ultra sharp, you still have to exert pressure on the vegetable you are slicing. So this slicer would not work with a very ripe tomato.

A tomato with a diameter up to approx. 3 3/4" would fit in the slicer. The slices are about 1/4" thick. Depending on the size of the tomato, you could get up to 6-7 usable slices

Yes, it does! We discovered that you have to cut the tomatoes into small pieces in order for them to get caught,so that they don't just float out in front of the turning Mill. It does trap the seeds quite well! Mike and Judi Orlando

I dont believe so. Its for veggies. I think it would be like any other knife and would squash down the cheese as you cut. Potatoes and tomatoes arent supposed to stick to it because of the little grooves, but they do anyway.

No, it doesn't. Its main function is to make tomato sauce or strain other similar vegetables.

the only vegetable i have ever used was potatoes, i have loosened the spiral blade and used the peeler part only to make hash brown potatoes.my brother in-law peels and slices potatoes and fries the core part along with the slices when i do pears, the firm ones work best as the more ripe tend to not hold onto the prongs, so i guess that you cant slice and peel ripe tomatoes

Can not answer that. Only done onions and tomatoes and it works excellent with those 2 products. I do imagine it will chop those as well. Sorry
