I want to slice fruits and veggies for dehydration. Is this good for that?

I would say it would be perfect for the task as thin uniformed slices would be required for best results.

I would say that the Oxo is perfect for this task...you have a choice of thickness in your slices, and VERY uniform slicing which should help the dehydrating process. All of these months later I still love my Oxo!

I believe it can. The smoker is able to smoke cheese with a cold plate so dehydrating fruit and vegetables should work.

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 use mine for slicing apples. It does flex a bit if I push down to hard so I end up with wedge shapes. But I like it and use it all the time. I also use it for carrots, it slices right thru them, no problem. The one feature I really like is that you can lock the blade down for safety. If you buy it, order a Kevlar glove or similar to protect yourself from the blade.

Absolutely! Just be careful. The slicing blade is so sharp and effortless to use, you will be through a potato before you realize it. You'll have the potatoes sliced and frying in half the time than if you used a knife.

Perhaps if the meat was really really cold but I doubt it would work well. It's more useful for slicing firm vegetables - cabbage, carrots, potatoes...

Yes. Very well. In fact, grind lemons, skin and all. It helps to cut lemons, but tomatoes can be ground whole. Slice cukes, apples. Cut carrots. Add water. Shake it up. It's a great machine. Enjoy!

this dehydrator will do anything...problem is fruit or veggies falling thru racks, I went to craft store and bought plastic netting sheets like they use to put yarn on and make things and then lay that on the stainless steel trays and nothing falls thru!! Hope this helps. Barbara, Corvallis, Or.

I did use it to dehydrate a couple of years ago. I remember it worked well. I sliced fruit really thin to make fruit leather. Do a trial batch.

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... I usually put a cut up dehydrated tomato slice and some sunflower seeds....it's great. I really like this product.

It might work for cucumber slices if the cucumber is small otherwise I don't think it would be very convenient for that purpose.

Yes, I think it would be good for cutting cucumbers into pickle slices. Good Luck!

I have used cucumber, carrots, yellow squash, zucchini... also cut fruit like melon, strawberry.. that is what i have used it in.

You will need the flat blender blade. Put that blade on, and feed your fruits and veggies through :) I usually cut the harder veggies down to a smaller size. I hope this helps!

Well, this mandoline had no problems slicing thru wooden skewers and a plastic handle. My experience based guess is that you will not have any issues slicing oranges or lemons, including peels.

yes this works well for most fruits. For harder veggies i steam longer but it still mashes very well. I recommend it.
