Does it slice and dice at the same time (or I'll have to slice first for "dice")?

You'd need to slice your vegetable into manageable sections first, e.g an onion into quarters before you can dice it.

It has a handle that you turn to chop things into smaller pieces. It is perfect for salsa or chopping onions to fry. There is a slicer as a separate attachment. I'm not sure if that answered your question.

You have to cut stuff to fit in the container, but once your veggies/fruits are inside the container, it slices and dices...and does a very good job of it!

No. When I made salsa I just quartered my tomatoes. It's worth the money I use it all the time. Thinking about getting another one to keep in RV

It does both at the same time. But don't waste any further time thinking about this little machine. It is the best small investment you can make in your kitchen. In our kitchen, it is used everyday and I have given at least one of these to every one of my close relatives. It has been improved since I initially bought it many, many years ago and the current version rips through any slicing or dicing!

Sorry I have never seen or tried the slicer Dicer, I just found the grooves that the blades fit through keep getting jammed and food gets stuck inside the grooves. It isn't as easy as the demonstrators show them to be. I wasted my money because I never use it.

No, it only slices two different thicknesses or shreds two different sizes.

It's best for slicing. It dices well too. Great knife for the price. Voted best on cooks illustrated too.

Depending on the game you play you need different dice and usually more than one of each type (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12 and d20). This bag includes them all. You will probably never need as much as a pound. So, you can keep them as spare dice, or you can share them, sell them, give them away, etc.

That's "no" on 1, "yes" on 2. The device has two tools on two separate arms that can be individually engaged or disengaged. One is the peeler, the other tool both cores and slices. So, you can peel without coring and slicing, you can core and slice without peeling, you can do all three at once, but you can't core without slicing.

Chop onions into small chunks, then dice. Also, keep palm down on front of dicer so it doesn't break!

I agree with this other post, there really isn't a mandoline made that will dice very well. The DeBuyer if you read the reviews (and I would look at multiple sites) just doesn't do a great job and tends to get jammed or break. Do a long cut and then use a knife to dice it saves time, I know that is disappointing I really wanted a device to dice as well. BTW the DeBuyer and the Shun are both very good machines it's a personal preference, but I would bet 20 years from now the Shun will still be in your kitchen. Everything they make is quality, it's just unfortunate it tends to cost so much.

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.

Qwirkle Cubes has the one added element of rethrowing the dice - all in all they are pretty similiar games and i would definitely not have both but if i had to choose one i would go with the cubes for sure.

Yes,as long as there is at least 4 oz. of water in the pitcher. I use carrot hearts so I don't have to chop, dice or anything. Be sure to read all the instructions first.

Both sides always activate but I've used it for a single slice with no problem.

I've not had mine very long and have only used it once...and it does slice...the slicing looks like a slinky (spirally) ...lol

The dice came in a bag, and I had to be separated by color to use them. The colors are not necessarily as shown, I believe I had a different color and combination. The price was such that separating them into separate colors was no problem for me.

It sure willThe slots are divided into thirds.thin, medium,and thick. You move the board at the end to the size position you desire. Slice away. You get 4 to 5 slices in each position.

The copy I purchased did not come with dice. You will need two colors of dice; 2 of each for each player. Any gaming store (or the friendly neighborhood amazon.com) can hook you up; or go the cheap route and hit up the dollar stores. Fun game.

For a layered veggie like an onion, you can get a dice by using the julienne insert. For any solid veggie, such as a potato - it just doesn't dice. Some people suggest pre-slicing the potato part of the way through, but that's just way too much trouble. I don't try to dice (except onions) with this. The V7000 is supposed to do a true dice, however, though it creates more waste even when slicing than this model because the sides where you rest the safety grip are higher.
