Could you use this tool to cut scallions / green onions?

you sure can! I use it to cut coriander and parsley too! even onions I cut them with a normal knife and then finish with this herb tool, it's great!

Though I haven't used it to cut either scallions or green onions, I can't imagine why you couldn't use it to cut them...

It is certainly sharp enough, but if you want a precise cut this would not be the tool for you. It is great for mincing, but not will not compete with skilled knife work.

I haven't tried that, but I don't see why not. I just used it to cut up deli sliced turkey into strips for my grand kids. Love it for parsley and rosemary and thyme. Want to try all kinds of things with it. Best gadget ever!!!!

Yes you can. I would think about any veggie. Just watch what type of surface you cut on. (wood preferably) They Will chip or brake if misused. Be careful they are very sharp.

Yes. There is a separate blade that be changed and used to shredcabbage, sprouts, onions, even zucchini. Quite easy to change onceyou've done it a few times."

Definitely! I used mine to chop carrots for soup all the time. You do need to cut the carrots into about 3 inch lengths, to fit on the cutting blade (or just use baby carrots). If the carrot was really, really thick, I sometimes split it lengthwise. More so the pieces would be uniformly sized more than that the chopper couldn't handle it.

Be really careful with this tool because the blades are sharp. The process to cutting the herbs and spices is to roll the blades back and forth. I cut cilantro with it but honestly I could have done just as well with scissors. As far as dried spices, I have not used it for those but, if you press down hard enough and roll the tool, it should work. You could do just as well with a mortar set for grinding up spices.

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'

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

I can't see why not. I was trying out one of the blades on a red onion the other day and even using the pulse I went one push too far and wound up with minced onion, really really minced. As I mentioned to another person, invest in the extra set of blades. They were $60 but with all five blades you have a wonderful variety of options. I'm very pleased with the machine and use it much more than I ever did my old one. It's got a very tricky lock system, so if you buy it and can't get it to turn on just email me back. Hope your cat enjoys the homemade dinner.

Yes, I cut carrots all the time, along with celery & onions. It does an excellent job.

Yes and I've used it. Works very well for onion slices. NEVER slice without the holder. The blades are very sharp. Which, of course, explains why it works so well! ;)

I think so. My young chefs use this to coarsely cut tomatoes, cucumbers, apples, etc. (not possible with our butter knives.) The blade is not very long, but it is effective as a knife for young cooks and the handle is perfectly sized for a smaller hand. We have used this for months now, and it is still as sharp as when we got it, without actually sharpening the blade.

I'm not sure. It is a wonderful device, but I've always used it to slice cucumbers, carrots, onions etc. I don't see why you couldn't slice along the length of the vegetable and slice that way...although you might have to cut into thinner pieces afterward. I love this item, but it is very sharp, and you must use the safety handle!!!

I would say no. I tried cutting an apple in half and slicing it. The results were not satisfactory. The slices are very thin. The slicer is the least effective of the pieces in this set. I use the graters and the julienne all the time, but almost never use the slicer.

Hi, Julie - I have not used mine for that, so can't say yes or no --- however, my family makes a LOT of kale salad, & what we have found best for chopping our kale is the Zyliss FastCut Herb Tool that Amazon sells --- we've been using ours for 8 or 9 months, & just love it! It's easy to clean, too! (make sure to put the blade guard back on if you put it into a drawer, tho' - the blades are sharp!

Yes, you can cut it. I used it to mend a mop handle which had come apart and it worked like a charm.
