Will it slice almonds? I don't mean grate or chop. I am looking for thin slices.

I don't think you will get the results. When it grates a potato there are always the last slice of potato stuck in the machine. If you are pouring in a gallon of nuts and aren't too picky it would probably do a fair job. I have some almonds, I will give it a try later, ask me again tomorrow or later. I love this attachment set, we have them all, This one stays in the mixing bowl . Will grate potatoes for hash browns to die for. Grates up cheese, omg. If you don't have these attachments for your mixer your missing out.

Hi. The blade is thin but certainly not as sharp as a knife. I think it would be good for things such as carrots, avocados, and asparagus. It would not be good for things like potatoes. I hope that helps.

I honestly don't know. I have used my cutter to slice parchment but nothing thinner than that. It does a nice job on parchment....doesn't leave a frayed edge or not cut cleanly. I would think if your blade is sharp the cutter would do a fine job.

Bless me, but I don't now the answer to the answer to this question. It is nice knife and slices very thin cuts of meat, vegetables, etc.

Yes, it can slice lemons and limes. They will come out pretty thin, but it works. Always use the hand guard or a cut resistant glove! It is very sharp

You can slice pretty close to paper thin but remember this is not an automatic slicer. You have to push the meat across the blade and the guide and back of the machine are plastic. If you push just a little too hard the plastic back gives and you end up with a thicker slice than you want.

It is more of a slicer than a grater. But most importantly it will break within a few weeks of use. I know they started giving them away with other purchases because they are so bad.

I have not used this knife to cut thru a graham cracker crust. However I think it would do fine. I have used it to cut brownies and other foods like this.

The KitchenAid shredder/slicer attachments do work well for grating nuts, though there is no way to control the size of the grate except to switch the attachment with another. For my purposes, nuts and almonds were easily and well grated.

Hi,You should be able to grind almonds with the blade that comes with the basic machine. You'll need to put the 'blank' in, where the fine screen usually goes, so as to push out the ground almonds. Do you want almond flour? Otherwise, you may have to chop the almonds fine enough to use the grain mill, but I have not done this with mine.

I'm pretty sure it would slice olives without a problem. I think it could handle pickles but not 100% positive.

hello, i haven't tried making thin and crisp potato slices. in fact the slicer is in the cabinet w/other things I don't use anymore....I don't fry any foods so I wouldn't even do that but I have tried slicing potato's for baked fries and it dosent work that great. You have to take the skin off then slice. Slicer won't work well w/skins on. good luck

Yes ! This knife will give you perfect slices. The narrow blade helps. I've done it.

This is a great slicer but will not cut slices that wide Also, tomatoes do not do the best, because the slices are thin and they tend to fall apart.

I have not tried slicing any meat type items -however ham would not work at all because of the size limitation of the slicer (appoximently 2" wide) Sausage would be linited to something hard enough to hold its shape as it was sliced Peporoni would proably work - Hard salami would be too wide for the slicer
