How thin a slice will this cut on Norpro adjustable cheese slicer

The wire can be adjusted until it actually touches the opposing roller. As to how thin it can actually cut I would imagine it depends very much on the texture of the cheese. I cut sharp cheddar to give 1/16" slices. You need to be careful to keep the roller pressed on the cheese cutting face and use a nice even pressure.

had so many slicers in the past but this one is the best I ever had because it adjust to the thickness of the cheese or whatever you slice I'll keep this one

Sorry I took so long, have been traveling. The slicer has a thin side for 1/8" slice and a thick slice of 3/8". I used the thick side for the apples, pears and peaches I sliced for drying. Hope this helps, Gloria

No reason it shouldn't. I have not tried yet, but I would not hesitate to try. As long as it is a somewhat firm cheese. You won't be able to slice something soft like a Brie. But American you could. I wouldn't try softer than that. The issue I have with it is that there is no arm or bar that slides on the carriage to hold what ever you are slicing in place, like on a commercial deli slicer. You only have the hand grip that is meant to hold it against the blade for slicing. Depending on the size and shape of what you are slicing, this can be challenging to keep the product from slipping and turning sideways against the blade. I'm not sure if that makes sense, but if you have experience with commercial slicers you understand.

The blade is less than 3 inches. You may want the big one? Works wonderful on any cheese. Soft or hard

No, the blade is not adjustable & the cut can not be made thinner. It is a spiral 'screw' like handle so it is fixed & uniform slices. No zester. It is an excellent tool for spiral cut apples or potato's.

I haven't tried to see how thick but I have sliced roast beef paper thin. So far this slicer is perfect for my use I would not recommend it for a deli but for any home use it is great.

I honestly can't say, yet. I used it to slice & core some granny smith apples, twice, to sauté in a bit of butter & cinnamon sugar. It was automatically perfect for my task, so I haven't tried to adjust. The slices were maybe 3/8" thick.

Well, there are different plates for making thin and thick slices. The blades in the plates themselves are not adjustable.

For a carving knife it slices about a 1/4 inch thick but not any thinner than that. It really isn't meant to cut super thin as it is really for carving London Broil, Ham, Prime Rib, Turkey etc. If you are wanting very thin slices I don't believe you will be happy with this knife. It has a pretty thick blade to begin with. It is an excellent carving knife for the price and well made.

The overall width of this slicer is 5 inches but the actual widest cutting diameter is 3 3/4 inches. The overall length of the slide surface is 11 7/8 inches. If you are cutting a head of cabbage, you either must cut it in half first of do as I do and just rotate the head slightly so I can get a nice shred. I have stopped putting lettuce on sandwiches that I pack and just adjust the setting screws to a fine shred. That gives me some extra crunch and a better nutritional punch than lettuce would (although we now know lettuce is also good for us). I find the cabbage lasts a lot longer in the fridge also since I only make on sandwich at a time. The setting screws you see in the picture, on the sides of the slicer, are only to hold in the shredding blades that come with the Benriner. The actual thickness screws are under the unit and it takes little time to know just how thick you want your end product to know how far you should screw them in/out. There is no guide except you eye on these set screws. In their furthest, your slices will be about 1 mm which is a pretty fine slice - light passes through a potato slice at this thickness. Hope this helps.

Thickens is adjustable from 1 to 5 mm. But problem is. Actual slicer is not as showed on photo.Real slicer which you will get is cheaper and smaller version of Benriner. Be warmed.

You know, I'd never tried this before until your question but I happened to have a wedge of hard Parmesan cheese in the refrigerator. I took it out and very easily sliced 4-5 slices off the end that ranged between 1/8" and 1/4" thick depending on how much pressure I put on the cheese pushing it through and how thick I set the adjustment for the slicing range. Thanks for the question! Now you have an answer to your question, and I have more options in cheese to put on the grilled sandwiches that I make! I just made one yesterday slicing apples crossways to go with provolone, sliced Vidala onions, green peppers and Dijon on rustic bread with home grown herbs. Yum!

It's not adjustable for thick and thin slices, but in my opinion, as it is really more convenient to use than the more complicated and more expensive adjustable mandolines, as there's no setup and easy to clean. So it's great for those quick jobs making homemade potato etc .
