How much actual cutting surface is there? The strainer is a nice feature, but it would cut down on the cutting surface.

The cutting surface is a little bigger than 10" x 10". I've never had a problem with it not being big enough. Hoe this helps!

It does mean the space is shared. The cutting surface is 10" wide by 9.5" deep.

There is a slight curve to the cutting edge. Approximately 3/16th, definitely under 1/4 inch.

The slices are about a half inch but can be cut thicker if you prefer. The distance is adjustable by choosing the slot to cut through. I like it and find it easy to use.

Don't have a ruler on me but it comes out between 4 and 5 inches approximately.This is meant to use while chopping although I do have mine on a drawer that isn't used very often and have no trouble with it. The times I have used it it worked perfectly and I am happy with my purchase, I hope this helps.

It appears that you would be at 2.25" at best. That's the dimension of the cup plus the width of the cutter. So you would be right at the minimum for your cut.

The top of the strainer-looking portion of the basket has a small rim around the underneath of it and that is part that sits in the hole. That part is 1½ inches across. I love, love, love these strainers. Have bought several of them for my friends. High quality and so much better than those flimsy strainers. This one is the best!

The cutter's are pretty good, but not like a knife so some of the edges may be jagged, need to press down in one place for cleaner cut.

It's only around 4 inches wide so I would say no, unless it was a small cabbage and you quartered it before slicing. I wouldn't purchase this item it's very cheaply made particularly when you look at the price. When you bare down to slice it varies the thickness of the material you're cutting. I ultimately discarded the item is being useless.

Hi Elaine, The whole device is 12 and a quarter inches long and the "blade" is 2 and a quarter by 5 and a quarter inches in area. The actual cutting surface of the "blade" is somewhat smaller to allow for a protective edge on the blade. The device has proven to be a worthwhile addition to our kitchen. Hope this helps. Frank

I am not sure. It was a gift, but the strainer was small and at a quick glance did not seem like it would touch the bottom of the pot.

The cutting surface is approximately 5" wide. It can handle large Spanish or Vidalia onions with relative ease.

Yes & no , where I would imagine, you could limit the the depth of cut, I don't think it would be practical or accurate. Where there is a will there is away.

No it won't hurt it surface . We cut on it all the time. A tip for cleaning. I use an Sos and wash immediately after dinner. Dishwasher doesn't work. Also dry thoroughly or it rusts. Enjoy.

Sent the strainer to my daughter as a gift, however I read this in one of the reviews "The basket itself tapers quite bit to a smaller, rounded edge, diameter on the bottom (approx 7.25/7.5) than on the top, but the legs and feet do not, so with the 4 legs it's still 9.5 inches in diameter at the bottom." Hope this is helpful.

exterior diameter is just at 5/8", however, it's not round - one side is "dented" in, so, it's almost heart shaped, but rounded on the bottom. . .i have no idea why, but, it doesn't seem to affect its performance - the "strainer;" however, does, if you're not straining anything, remove it.

The surface is PERFECT for food prep and serving. That said, the surface is bamboo [very pretty and nicely finished]. As we enjoy the look it has, while we *could* cut food on the surface, we prefer to use cutting boards in order to preserve the finish

Easily. Just make sure you have a wooden pestle or similar tool to gently for the material through the strainer.
