Can the slicer be used to make thick slices as well as thin slices?

There is currently only one size for slicing. I have used it for tomatoes, potatoes and onions and the slice size is perfect for all!

The mandolin style slicer provides a one-size slicing solution and it is quite thin. If you push a little harder on the slicing platform, you will achieve a slightly thicker slice, but not appreciably thicker. So it is best considered a one-size mandolin slicer. - Rich Mathias

I've never tried it, but, I don't believe you can. There are two different blades, one on each side of the slicer, but, you only use one side at a time.

It depends on how you slope or angle the slicer. It can be as thick as an empty envelope or as thin as a regular dual bond paper.

Yes,you should be able to as each piece is adjustable...ie, just adjust it so far out of the way so it doesn't slice.

Thickens is adjustable from 1 to 5 mm. But problem is. Actual slicer is not as showed on photo.Real slicer which you will get is cheaper and smaller version of Benriner. Be warmed.

I will have to look at the specs to answer your question. However if you are looking for a new slicer, look no further. I will sell you mine. I have never used it, it is brand new. If you are interested I'm sure that we can make a good deal. Contact me@ yozjeff@aol.com.

my slicer did not work. it was not adjustable and only had one blade that was too thin for doing a cabbage slice or potatoesno i would not buy it.

Unfortunately, I have not used the slicer to slice anything. But my husband used to do jerky and he said he used a chef's knife on meat that was partially frozen. You may want to check out You Tube to see if someone else has tried doing what you are proposing.

You can adjust the thickness of the slices by the amount of pressure that is placed downward on the handle. Less downward pressure makes thinner slices.

I think so. But I much prefer their other slicer...it has more variety in size and shape. :)

We have only cut about 1/2 inch slices. Beyond that, we are not sure. Hope that helps. We are very pleased with our slicer.

No you can NOT adjust the slicer thickness. However I love my Kitchen King as it grates cheese, hardboiled eggs, onions, green peppers, even small amounts of chicken or roast. I use it all the time. It is more of a chopper than a Food Processor, I think. But, I have 2. Just in case one should break. I have not had one break yet, but I love mine.

i am not sure. i had a slicer my mother gave me years ago but it finally "died". i found the one i have on amazon, read the reviews on various brands and finally decided on the one i wanted. it is heavier than my old one but it works quite well. i wish i knew the difference but i don't. i am so sorry i could not give you the info you needed.

Would be too thick if you used the knife to guide. I don't have the knife anymore because of that- wasn't useful for cutting even slices.

Also the blade is adjustable to make thick to paper-thin slices if that what you meant.

Well, there are different plates for making thin and thick slices. The blades in the plates themselves are not adjustable.

I sliced an onion on both settings. The thick slices were 7 mm (1/4"), and the thin slices were 2 mm (less than 1/8").
