yes I have used on strawberries and worked great...also water chestnuts and olives(pitted) pretty much works on anything that fits in holder that is not too soft..needs to be firm

Yes - absolutely and it doesn't "smush" them. My wife bought this for here strawberries so she could make jams and jellies and after several large flats she is very happy with the results. She also has used it on mushrooms and eggs with similar results,

I use it on strawberries all the time. I love this slicer. It is easier to clean than the old school slicers that have wire. They break and rust- this just needs a quick rinse and you're done.

That gadget does WONDERS on slicing strawberries. I love my egg slicer. Works great on eggs also. I love my egg salad mix, so easy to do two cuts on egg and it is ready for mayo and onions. I even got more so I could give them to my kids.

Have not tried strawberries (or any fruit) in them but should work OK. They do form air tight seal and are OK in dishwasher so you can clean them after strawberries. The plastic may stain?

It would work great on lemons I use it for limes which are probably the same size as a lemon or even a little bit smaller and it works great.

I'm sorry, but I never use it for fruit. I only do jerky for my dog. Try the internet and see what they recommend. Wish I could have been more helpful!

yes this works well for most fruits. For harder veggies i steam longer but it still mashes very well. I recommend it.

It works great on soft fruit and veggies as you mention. Apples, onions and the like are out of the question.

I received mine the same way and no directions also, but I researched the type of strawberry that was ordered and it tells you how to plant and take care of your particular strawberry; also contact the company and hopefully they will help you also, good luck

Yes it kind of does remove a lot of the strawberry then it would just cutting the stem off. It's more meant for filling the strawberries which is great and so convenient you'll love it!

well it is big enough for a small bag of lettuce and I have put strawberries in mine and it did alot better than when you keep them in the plastic container they come in from the grocery. I also wash my strawberries and just put them and always follow the directions on the outside of the container it tells you where to put dial at and if you should add water or not to the container. It does work really good, I also put berries in it and they last alot longer as well.

Strawberries would work well in these containers. It might stain, but I have not had any problems with staining the past two years I have used them.

I personally don't think it's great for strawberries. I just did a test. My strawberries were not softened in any way, just got them out of the fridge. But the masher's metal pieces are pretty thick and wide apart. My strawberries never got fully mashed and pieces kept sticking in between the metal. Not sure if you're softening the berries first. But even if you did, I don't think this masher will finely mash berries. Someone else may have had success doing so, but I'd stick with just potatoes for this masher.

I am growing herbs in mine so haven't tried strawberries but wouldn't this be like using a strawberry pot?

I've used it a few times for strawberries -- as long as you don't push too hard/fast it should be fine.

Yes I believe it will work. I haven't used it for that purpose but other plants with similar growth patterns.....the lateral growth of strawberries certainly takes more effort and just a little practice with this weeder.
