will it cut hard vegetables such as parsnips

Yes, it will, but first, you need to slice them, about a quarter of an inch thick.

I use it for just about everything, but I make sure to slice hard vegetables first. I cut them into 1/4 to 1/2 in slices, then put it into the big grate.

I think it could, but you would have to use more strength with your hand to cut it. The blades are very sharp. I have only cut onions and that is very easy to do. Hope this helps.

Haven't tried that but I doubt it. Mostly onion, eggs, tomato, ... Salad type veggies

I just now "riced" a whole, raw cauliflower. I had broken the head into large florets first. I am very happy with the results. I have owned this device for at least a year.

it might if you push a little at a, (kind of pump it)or cut in smaller pieces. if you try to do it all in one sweep it probably won't.

I have never cut parsnips but I do carrots, sweet potato and regular potato. Hope this helps!!

They work really well because their edges are sharp. However, I do suggest cutting the hard vegetables into a thickness that is no greater than 1/4 inch.

It might but it has to be semi frozen. Easier to slice with a sharp knife while semi frozen or via a food processor slicer blade.

it would work with hard cheese like some Reggiano but have not tried it on that. Just vegetables.Very sharp!! :)

The julienne blades work very well with harder vegetables. I prefer it to a v-slicer as it seems to not jam up.

No, it's a bread knife. You should use a smooth blade (like a chef's knife) to cut vegetables.

Yes it will but be careful set it at its highest setting to cut and don't stop moving it will cut down to dirt fast ..good luck

I believe at the answer would be no. I takes strength to cut the potato. We use it to cut jalapenos, onions and other smaller vegetables. Works fine for the smaller vegetables.

I have cut not only tomatoes, but cucumbers also. It will cut anything as long as it isn't too soft.

I would not recommend it for hard cheese as the cheese would stick too much to the blade.Cleaning the blade also would be a little more dangerous since you would have to take theblade out to clean. The unit works well for typical vegetables as with any other slicer of thisnature.

Absolutely! it will blend, dice, cut, pulverize any veggie or leaf greens. My wife does broccoli, kale, and spinach in it all at the same time.

I haven't tried it on hard vegetables and can't give you an honest answer. Works great on tomatoes!

It is only about 2 1/4 " wide so would probably not work for slicing big vegetables.

I know you can slice fruit with it. I have not tried to slice vegetables but it also chops and purees Ice. I know it chops vegetables. Sorry that I can give you a better answer. I love mine.

I am not to sure, but I do know this can cut unpeeled potatoes. I had a different style one that I had to actually cut potatoes in half and put cut side against the blades to get it to work.

I'm not sure because I haven't tried it. However, the biggest problem with slicing potatoes isn't the hardness of the potato but the diameter.

Yes, it should be able to, the blade is very sharp so it take little effort to make the cuts.
