Has anyone tried to chop salad with a mezzaluna in these? Thanks.

I wouldn't. I don't think they are designed for that. The sharpness of the mezzaluna blade requires a special surface. But, if you try it, please report back.

Don't know as I have never tried that. I do chop pecans all the time, even while frozen and they grind superbly. Love my food processor.

I'm sorry to say that I returned my chopper. I could not figure out how to do the small pieces without doing my fingers as well, but the biggest problem was that I could not get the attachments to stay on tightly. After doing a one or two vegetables I would have to retighten the attachment.

I have chopped cabbage in mine. You can't fill it very full, so you'll have to do the process several times.But this little baby can chop--fine or coarse. I love it.

I think it would be wonderful. I have used this one for a layered salad. It is beautiful.

Everyone has their own taste but I happen to like eating dried mushrooms. As far as salads...ummm?? you have to remember that these are crisp. They are best, re-hydrated in water and then put in casseroles, pizza, chicken-a-la-king, spaghetti, creme sauces, etc. hope this helps you decide. I like them a lot. They sure are nice to grab a handful and throw them in. Plus they last for years and years. I've dried my own for years and tried these. I like these better than my own because they are freezed dried not just dehydrated (I dry all kinds of mushrooms). Dried or freezed dried is a GREAT way to have plenty on hand at all times. :)

Yep :) No problem! The V-shaped blade (I can't recall it's proper name at the moment) is the one I use to chop nuts with, though I think its also possible with the flat blade ...

You can put salad in it, but I would chop salad on a cutting board. It is plastic.

I would like to say that the salad bags are to thin, and would melt through. I haven't tried it though.

I haven't chopped lettuce; however, it's too small to do lettuce. This chopper is great, but meant for smaller foods. For instance, it will chop one clove of garlic or a cup of carrots. It's even useful for chopping foods for the baby.

Have not tried to chop meat however it probably would work. The blades are extremely sharp you might try a "hard meat" like Salami first.

Yes I have and EVEN though I LOVE my Squeezo I will not use it agian for Salsa. We like our salsa chunkier and with less seeds. The largest screen lets seeds though (has to with the larger holes) but presses the tomato into too fine of a pulp for our tastes.

I keep mine at work for lunches. I have never experienced any difficulty eating salads that I can recall. Admittedly I don't eat a lot of salads, but I can't see how it would be less effective than any other fork. The tines are wide but not particularly thick (I'd say thinner than a regular fork), and are squared off, which for my money grabs food better. Plus the serrated bit on the side of the tines can cut thru any colosssal lettuce leaves or whatnot.

I use a salad plate to my corelle dishes. Works fine. I have even used a paper plate.

I have, and they work fine. I usually hand wash the knives except for the steak knives, just because it's easier to do. But I've thrown them in the dishwasher before. It doesn't do anything noticeably harmful.
