We will sometimes quickly cut veggies on our current Formica countertops...would this product easily slice if cut by accident?

Yes, it is easily cut ... Which makes it easy to install, but not very durable with kiddos around :)

I would not cut on it on purpose. But if you forget what you are doing and it happens, it won't show much. We've had our counter top film on for about a year now, and slight cuts/burns don't show very much unless you point it out. I think the busy granite pattern hides a lot of imperfections, such as any seams when installing.

1. yes2. no, but very easily by dropping it. for cutting i would recommend a sawzall

it might, but it's not designed for that.......more for cheese.....things that stick to the knife when cut. You need more of a Santoku type knife for cutting hard veggies

Yes! Nice, sturdy blade. I haven't had opportunity to use it a whole lot, but I HAVE cut potatoes and carrots, and chopped frozen green beans with it, and I don't recall ANY flexing whatsoever. I don't cook squash, and am not really even very familiar with the texture/consistency of uncooked squash, so I can't speak directly to that...

I imagine it would if the zucchini were cut into 3-4" segments. I haven't done that and I haven't heard of anyone doing that. My biggest problem with this peeler is that the handle broke. I would have to not recommend this brand, but I would recommend the peeler; I've used one like it extensively over the years. I'm going to try the Victorio brand and see how it goes--it has the best overall reviews.By the way, if the peeler works with zucchini you should post that so others can see how it works. I'm curious and might try it myself next time I have some to cook!

Very well! I often slice onions on mine -- just don't remove the root end and watch your fingernails when near the end!

I've never used it for vegetables, but I would imagine they'd have to be a hard veggie, like carrot or frozen pretty solid! And cut kind of small!

I see no reason why not. The special cutting blade is so very sharp. Making long flat slices of a zucchini should be a breeze.BTW after seeing my Mandoline Slicer my sister-in-law is ordering one. Wait till you see the free bonus paring knife. Wow.

Yes. If you cut the cabbage into quarters first, it should work well. I found that the holder isn't very helpful with some vegetables, though. Just watch your fingers. The blade is very sharp. It's ceramic, but it looks like plastic. So, its appearance is deceiving.

Yes, it's really easy and fast to chop garlic, but it's hard to get all the garlic off from in between the blades, so a lot of the garlic gets lost :(

The surface of these cutting mats is smooth. I haven't had any problems cutting vegetables, meat or fish. The problem I have is storage. I don't have a drawer space or an area where they can lay flat without something being on top.

As long as the onion is not soft - very good - clean up takes a little more time - but certainly worth the time vs. the time to cut by hand - assuming, of course, you are not a Master Chef with lightning fast hands :-)

I don't use it much at all anymore. Got it out the other day and replaced it with my Mac santoku which I love. It does slice well, but I'm not really pleased with it. I don't know if it would work on harder veggies, I also use a Forschner 8" chef's knife for harder things, seems more sturdy.

Yes, I believe that it could be, but I would suggest chopping on something you can put into the sink or dishwasher for sanitary reasons. Being that it is a board it would not hurt it to cut on it by mistake or do rough things on it.I have a portable counter top dishwasher on it, so I never see the board. It has been very sturdy for this use. Very please with it. Any other questions, just ask. Regards, DrDick

Yes. It can be trimmed to length to fit under a countertop as I did, or cut in half. I used a hacksaw.

I've actually polished a lot of pieces right on a formica countertop with no damage to the laminate after washing away the residue with soap and water. However, if you have a matte finish counter top, I'd limit the amount of polishing directly against that surface--it won't hurt anything, but you might actually polish a shiny spot onto your counter. (This would only be from vigorous polishing, not incidental contact.)

You would have to make your own cuts first, while veg was in the holder then slice
