How well does this egg slicer handle mushrooms, particularly creminis?

I haven't tried this slicer on mushrooms, but I would suspect that the creminis are too dense and slick to slice successfully with this tool. I'd use a knife instead-- after all, the mushrooms are easy enough to cut with a knife.

At this time we have not experienced any problems with noise or the blade getting dulled after use. We used the slicer about 5 times so far, 10-20 lbs of meat each time

My Mango splitter was white and it does a great job of removing the seed from the fruit with very little waste, better than I can do it with a knife.

I don't know. I have used it for eggs, mushrooms, strawberries, and olives. The wires are very sturdy. The wires are thicker than the wire used on the cheese cutting boards. It might be worth a try and if it doesn't work you will have it for other stuff. It's the best cutter I have ever had. Good luck.

I think strawberries are too small. Use an egg slicer! Works perfect, can also cut mushrooms.

The easiest and fastest thing to do on this slicer is bread. It works great!

-I've tried up to 6 egg whites; and it stiffened fairy quickly and perfectly in circa 3-4 min. -You may not call it as ''difficulty'', but the tool is quite heavy and I, a 30+ysold female, get my arm tired after holding it in the air for a while (i.e. not letting the blade-frame lean/rest on the bowl's edge/wall). I wouldn't gift this particular whipper to my grandmother.

I used it to cut raw sweet potatoes fairly successfully. It is quite sharp, but the plastic is somewhat weak and bends under the pressure of trying to slice, resulting in some uneven cuts.

I'm not 100% sure, but the standard is definitely large enough to cut up one small mushroom, whereas this is not.

I have used it on bulk lunch meats and block cheese. Cut both, it is not fast but I am quite happy with the purchase. I would suggest placing soft items in the freezer for 15-30 minutes to firm them up. I found this made the slicing easier.

Hi I took mine out, got a large hardboil egg, put in the unit...It did not fit properly, a small egg might...but the real problem is that the blades are not thin or sharp enough to slice it properly...it does a so-so job on strawberries...would not use it on eggs...hope this answers your question.

2 slice is adequate and is fast enough apx.5 min. to cook egg and toast. great product.

Shred, slice and blend. I've never put meat in my Cuisinart food processor... eggs for mayo through. I've used the all the attachments for Vegan acceptable fare!

It does! We slice pickles, potatoes, roasts, and cheese. It all turns out fine. I read in another review to just take it slow and I have to agree. It's not an industrial slicer that can whip right through things, but for home use, a steady pace does the job well.

It is a GREAT cheese knife but the hardest thing I use mine for in cheddar cheese. It is a plastic blade to gets very thin at the edge of the blade. If the cracker crust was a bit soft I would use it, but if thick and rock-hard, nope! It's fantastic for slicing hard-boiled eggs! I love mine and have given them as gifts to all of my family members!

I haven't tried it on eggs, but I doubt very much that it would work. Large strawberries (>1.5 inches across and >1 inch thick) are too big for it. I use a paring knife to slice them.I would also surmise that the blades would stick to the egg as they are pressed through the egg. This would result in more of a mashed egg then sliced.

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.
