My wife purchased these for our toddler to help her with fun stuff in the kitchen, but she wouldn't recommend them for cutting fruit.

I would try a few. As long as they aren't soggy, I would think they could be chopped up easily

You could use them to cut fruit, but most of them are probably too big for a fruit-flower arrangement type thing.

I think you could be careful and cut watermelon or any melons but pineapple would not. Soft fruit you might get by with. They are a more bending plastic than the old brittle ones I have that are 50 years old. There are all sizes and then varied sizes in some of the designs. I wanted the numbers and letters to press in frosting and then sparkles, sprinkles,etc to fill in the letters. I have metal cutters in my Centerpiece Gourmet set and they do cut anything. Hope this helps you. You have my curiosity up and will try when doing some fruit. Elaine in TEXAS!

I have used them with my juicer as a pulp bag and they have held up completely. No breaks or tears. I have not left them in the pulp section for a fees days, but I'm pretty sure they would hold up. They are tough compost bags.

These will easily slice Jello since they ARE meant for vegetable cutting. They will not cut skin easily at all though and as seen in the picture the shape stops halfway through the cutter so make sure to make the Jello thinner than one inch

You don't want to use a blade like this for watermelon. It is designed for fine-slicing meats. For watermelon I would recommend a heavier blade such as a Dexter-Russell machete-style. For watermelon it would be a waste of money to buy a high quality knife when a heavy, more brittle steel blade works better.

Yes, these would work very well, there is a nice background juice that comes with the larger pieces of chopped up tomato. You might have to cut up some of the larger pieces of tomato, but I think it would very well in that application.

You can definitely use them. I use them to cut pieces out of wine bottles to turn them into planters.

i am using them to cut small palm leaves at the base of the palm about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness. they work well at that.

I think it would be difficult--I've only used mine once and I guess I didn't get placed exactly over the core of the pineapple and as I turned it--the steel slicer went through the green outer covering about halfway down the pineapple so that was dangerous as to cutting your palm or fingers--I'll try mine one more time and if I have no luck --hello garage sale! I'm pretty strong and it seemed you needed some strength to cut into the pineapple--good luck!

yes. I bought them about two months ago and they're amazing. I've used them to cut weeds wooden planks and to put them to the test sheet metal and they are still Sharp. they may be a little cheaply made but I enjoy them and would recommend them to anyone. So to answer your question, yes they are very durable.

I would assume scissors are fine as long as they aren't serrated, or pinking shears or the like. I haven't tried scissors so I can't say definitively.

Should be fine for fruits and bread but using as a utility type of knife inst such a good idea. The blade may become loose as it did to me

I have not sliced citrus fruits with my mandolin. Slicing some heavy rind fruits should work, though it may dull the blade if used for this frequently.

I would say no. I tried cutting an apple in half and slicing it. The results were not satisfactory. The slices are very thin. The slicer is the least effective of the pieces in this set. I use the graters and the julienne all the time, but almost never use the slicer.

No. It's not large enough for even a small pineapple. Plus I don't think the blade could handle it. We use this:All Ware Stainless Steel Pineapple Easy Slicer and De-Corer
