Does this slicer to a good job on tomatoes? Jessica

Only small, firm tomatoes. Even though the blade is ultra sharp, you still have to exert pressure on the vegetable you are slicing. So this slicer would not work with a very ripe tomato.

Since others have answered on quantity, I will just point out that if you want to puree tomatoes, this is not the best machine for that. It turns pieces of tomato into blah pink foam.

It is really for soft fruits and veges. I tried it on an orange and it will take the peelings off but only to the white underneath.It damages the fruit if you go any deeper. It is great for tomatoes and that is what I bought it for. I have used it on potatoes and cucumbers and it works good.

Yes. It's a wonderful slicer. I love that I can change the size of my slices. I use it all the time and it still works like new.

Hello Jennifer, I've used it on everything from tomatoes to kiwi fruit and vegetables. On oranges it doesn't do enough in a single pass so you will have to do it twice. Much easier to use a knife. An excellent peeler but be careful of your fingers as it is easy to cut a finger if you are a bit careles. If you are like me, you will only do that once though. Well worth owning one. I bought a few and handed them around to all my family members. Regards, Peter

It is a bread knife, meant for slicing bread, but it works just as well on other things you want a slice of, like a tomato or other vegetable.

I'm not a huge cook. I bought the slicer to make curley veggies for my Raw diet. So far it was very easy to use all settings (not sure how precise it is to 1/8"). I definately would recommend.

I haven't tried slicing cheese but I'm not sure it would do a very good job

A tomato with a diameter up to approx. 3 3/4" would fit in the slicer. The slices are about 1/4" thick. Depending on the size of the tomato, you could get up to 6-7 usable slices

There are specially made tomato slicers available--some expensive, some cheap. Most of them are OK, though.The pro-type mandolines were not intended to slice tomatos.

I use this chopper for onions, firm fruit and all most everything else but tomatoes. I think the tomatoes are just a little soft. I have some other chopprs but this one is the one that I use.

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.

It work as well as any knife for those tasks. It's design however, makes it super for slicing foods like cheese which tend to stick to the blade while cutting. So for me, that is what I use mine for. Great on fresh mozzarella.

I have not used mine for slicing yet. The only thing I used mine for is shredding carrots, and it worked beautifully. Sorry I can not help you with your question.

No. Do not invest in this slicer. It is extremely difficult to clean and the instruction book was translated into English VERY POORLY.

It only comes with a chopping blade. It work great on anything you need to chop, even tomatoes.
