Will the shoestring cutter work with zucchini?

I had a different cutter that I used the shoestring cutter for hashbrowns, zucchini & other things. I find I have to use the next cutter up for all my cutting with this new one. The shoestring cutter cuts too fine.

Yep :) No problem! The V-shaped blade (I can't recall it's proper name at the moment) is the one I use to chop nuts with, though I think its also possible with the flat blade ...

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife.It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'

It will.. not as good as it cuts through softer vegetables perhaps but it is an amazing tool for anykitchen and i love it.. it's very functional is a lot of ways.

Eleonor...I Am sorry u are having such hard time with it! If u hold the zucchini upright in your left hand, and peel downward with your right ...u should get some nice long strings that look like spaghetti. Not sure why is not working out for you....I really love this little simple tool. Pls let me know if u are having better luck with it....:-)

I love my mandoline, but zucchini is difficult if you're looking for lengthwise strips. The guard can work to push the zucchini, but it really only works the way it's intended if you are looking to make chip-style cuts.

Hi I would really like to help you I myself haven't used this cutter on rutabaga yet , I hope this helps with your decision to get one they also have a big range of cutting blades

I'm not sure but it barely works with fiskers templates so I doubt that it will work well with another brand. Personally this item was a waste of money. I love fiskers scissors and have always been happy with their products until purchasing this item

Hi Cold,Well, I don't think anything would stop you. The safety grip is not connected to the base unit so you can place the zucchini at the blade end and then put the grip at the upper end of the base. Zucchinis are stiff, so it's not going to droop off the back end. Hope this helps!

Have used for zucchini only so far. A friend used it on butternut squash too.

I have juiced kale, spinach and cucumbers, it works fine with these veggies. I am sure it will work with broccoli and cauliflower, the blades are small and works well.

I've used a large zucchini in the opening and it was fine. The unit is really well made and sturdy. I'd say it can accomodate a veggie as large as two to three inches around.

No, it's a bread knife. You should use a smooth blade (like a chef's knife) to cut vegetables.

Yes it will. Pears are soft in general so set the peeler blade to take the thinnest cut possible

After using this mandolin on cucumbers and onions, I think you would get a really thin ribbon of zucchini. I believe it would cut the zucchini just fine, but it wouldn't be very thick.
