How big are the strips the julienne tool makes? I would like to use it to make zuccini noodles and am worried this may cut them to thin.

They are pretty thin, but it still might make a decent spaghetti style noodle for you. We use it mostly for our carrots and cucumbers in salads. What I would do is to try a little and see how it turns out before dedicating the whole zucchini to it.

that's what i do with them! they make strips about half the size of a piece of standard linguine. hope that helps!

The size of the julienned strips is good for citrus, but too small/thin for zucchini noodles, in my opinion. I would go with a spiralizer for zucchini like this one at Williams Sonoma. http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/paderno-sprializer/

Afraid there is no grater, there is an attachment that juliennes, one side thick and other side thin. Not too sure it would be thin enough for spaghetti. Don't let it discourage you. I LOVE it. I have had others and was nervous using them. this one has grips so it doesn't slide and a breeze to clean. Best thing is it came in a storage case so everything fits easy inside and it's easy to store.

Not sure how thick the plates were that I cut, but they cut better than anything else I have ever used for glass. I have cut mostly plates, and I'm sure they aren't 3/8" thick. Thats almost 1/2". Pretty thick for nippers. I would think a tile saw might be best for that size.

I have cut apple 'spaghetti' to put in a dehydrator for little sticks - it is so sharp that they come out perfectly. I don't see why the mandoline would not be sharp enough to work the same magic on zuccini!

No idea. Long ago used and gone. Best guess is no larger than 1/8 inch and perhaps somewhat smaller than that. They were used for cut up cubes of fruit for chocolate fondue and handled the cubes well.

It is a strip slicer so cuts things into julienne strips, so with an onion it will act more like a grater than a slicer. I use it to grate zucchini and onions for my quinoa turkey meatballs recipe. And to julienne vegetables like carrots, zucchini, beets, cucumber, for salads etc

Measured the cutting blades width a digital caliper and it was 1.25mm. I use this attachment to make ramen so I stop at the number 4 setting on the 150. Most of the noodles separate from each other at this setting. If I go any higher the noodles stick together and it's almost impossible to separate them without breaking or stretching the noodles.

It will adjust for thinness/thickness for slicing. I think you would need a different tool that has attachments in order to julienne something. Hope that helps.

Hello Susano, I don't know if this will work for longer julienne veggies, but I do make nice long julienne "french fried" potatoes using this slicer. Do you have a specific purpose ie recipe for the longer julienne zucchini? Please let me know what that is, and I will try it for you before you purchase this slicer. You can contact me here, or at my email joyrose94@yahoo.comThank youVal

I just tried mine on pickle size cucumbers (which is what I wanted it for) and it works great, but they're too thin. Only about 1/16 inch, so sadly, I'm going to send it back and get one of the adjustables. If you were going to make potato chips and wanted things thin, this works great and it's all they said it would be, from what I can see.

Thanks for your question. The usable portion of the Julienne side is just a hair over 1.75 inches in width. The regular serrated side is 1.875 inches in width. And the overall width of the head is about 3.44 inches. Hope this helps!

As the picture shows there are thickness guides and 2 of these have blades to julienne but sadly it will not crinkle cut.

it's really meant to be a basic slicer. I guess you could lay a carrot or small potato "sideways" and make slices and then cut them into julienne pieces, but that may be a more advanced cut. However, if you only want thin 'shreds' and the shape isn't important, it could certainly do that on the thinnest setting.

This slicer comes with a 3.5mm and a 7mm julienne blade insert. Thank you for pointing out the error in the description, we will be sure to contact Amazon to get that corrected!

bigger than a 10 inch round...I have not used the largest strip...I used the small and mid size ones on an 8 and 10 inch round cake pan....the larger one I am guessing would fit something larger than that...

Quarter them, smaller pieces work best. Make sure it fits in the blade area only with no overhang. Give it a sharp close and it works great. My chopper is the only way I will dice onions. So much quicker and easier.

I love my mandoline, but zucchini is difficult if you're looking for lengthwise strips. The guard can work to push the zucchini, but it really only works the way it's intended if you are looking to make chip-style cuts.
