can you slice lemons with it and if so can they be sliced 1/4 inch?

The openning is oval, so depending on the size of your lemon, it will probably fit. The slicers that came with the Cuisinart are 2 millimeters and 4 millimeters. Hope you can translate that into inches. I know you can buy other sized slicers and graters for a decent price.

Mary,Your processor comes with a 2mm slicing disk; it may suit your needs for a 1/4in lemon slice. Cut both ends of lemon and place in the small feeding tube (after you have attached your stem and disk) then use the white pusher. If these slices are too thin try your 4mm slicer to increase thickness.

I had sliced any lemons before your question, but I did have a slightly older line in my refrigerator and thought I would try it on that. this machine continues to amaze me I love it. the to millimeter slicing blade did paper thin slices perfectly. z4 millimeter blade actually sliced in a quarter inch thick. hope this is helpful to you.

Mary--You will need a 4 mm slicing blade. Chill the lemons well and put 2 of them into the large feed tube standing on end. Cut the bottom end flat so the lemon wont shift. Use firm but gentle pressure and use the pulsing lever rather than the on lever. It will go very fast and you may need some practice to get "perfect" slices. If the lemons are small, you may be able to fit in 3 at a time, so experiment. The "bad" slices can always be mashed up and made into lemonade in this weather.

It has two slicing disks and one does cut about that thickeness, and yes you can slice lemons. Just watch the video, it takes a little practice!

Some lemons don't make lemonade! Good luck and have fun baking. I made one yesterday that was nearly 7" tall, too tall for my slicing machine! I had to cut off a chunk to it so I could slice sandwich sized slabs!! I love baking - always a surprise! Good luck with the breadman TR520!

Easily. This device is heavy duty and can fit anything up to 2-1/2 inches. I have used it for limes, lemons, and tangelos so far.

The thickness cannot be adjusted. The slices are 1/4 to 3/8". I canned mine and made a pie last night. If used fresh the slices probably wouldn't cook to pieces. The taste is the same and there were no complaints about big chunks of apple missing from the pie. I really save a lot of time and effort by using this device--a whole box of apples from the grocery store in about 35-45 minutes. Really saved my wrists and hands!

The slices are about 1/4 inch. You cannot adjust the thickness, but you can take the corer/slicer part off and core/slice them yourself. The slices are fine for pie and most things I use it for.

As long as the bread isn't still warm (just out of the oven), I would think you would be able to slice with this knife. I bake a multi-grain bread in my breadmaker and as long as I let it cool I can slice it with little to no problem.

I haven't tried it with lemons or limes but I slice potatoes, yellow squash and zucchini with it. I don't think lemons and limes would be a problem. This has been a handy kitchen tool for me.

No, a regular size onion will fit. But it may chop better if cut in half.This is a great chopper, I do chicken and other meats in it too. The picture makes it look smaller than it is.It would easy hold 4 lemons in the bowl, not that you would chop lemons just the size of the bowl.Bill Ramsey

Yes ,Leslie you can get 1/4" it also has positions for slices of 1/32" , 1/16" ,1/8" ,3/16" ,and 5/16 ". I have used 1/32" and 1/4".

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.

It would work great on lemons I use it for limes which are probably the same size as a lemon or even a little bit smaller and it works great.

Sure can. Make sure to use a high-quality ultra-fine finish blade when you rip it to width, and go slowly. You don't want to splinter the edges.

No it could cut half inch slices at the thickest it could not cut anything to a four or six inch final thickness

The 12" x 12" paper will just fit onto the surface of the cutting board, so it is possible that at one end the cutter might not cut the tip. To cut thin slices, the less you stack the paper the better. Cutting 1/8" off of a single sheet should not be a problem. Cutting 1/4" is assured. It takes a bit of practice (5-6 cuts) to get good at it.

I've sliced sweet potatoes and found it best to use smaller potatoes or cut them in half. You will have better control of the blade.

What is it you want to do? Almost any of these knives can make a 1/8th inch cut. Are you carving figrures, reliefs, or woodcuts?? I am msainly a woodcut artist. These tools are fine for all those purposes. Learn to keep them sharp. If you have more questions, email me at nicholascrome@yahoo.com. Or phone 812 339 2245.

I have not used mine for slicing yet. The only thing I used mine for is shredding carrots, and it worked beautifully. Sorry I can not help you with your question.
