Can it slice bananas too? Is it better than the hutzler 571?

Nothing is better than the Hutzler 571, except for, of course, The Mountain Three Wolf Moon Short Sleeve Tee. Although, If someone were to utilize all 3 of these items at once, a tear in the time/space continuum would result in the destruction of our solar system, so please use responsibly.

Well Brett must be "bananas"!! LOL!! Because I ordered this last year for my annual "Girls and Bananas" Party (don't ask LOL!) and it definitely came with 2 slicers. Only problem was our bananas were too big

we haven't used it for bananas, but my husband has used ours very successfully to rice boiled potatoes for gnocchi. i'd think it could handle reasonably ripe bananas no problem.

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.

No, the largest slicer did a good job slicing apples, everything else I tried on the other blades was a failure. My mandolin does a great job making julienne strips.

If you want things razor thin, the non-serrated blade is, literally, the only way to go. The serrated will tear the food apart if you try to make ultra thin slices.

I see no difference between the two models. Both are mandolin slicers, both cut vegetables and fruit.

It will not pare and core only. The corer and slicing blade are one piece. If you remove the corer/slicing blade, it will just peel. You can have it core and slice by keeping the paring blade out of position. I find that the blade slices a little too thin for me and the blade is not adjustable but the machine really works well. I don't know why people say it will not stay still when using the suction lever. As long as the counter or table is formica or glass. it is very stable. I use apples from three trees I have in my yard and it does a good job on large and odd shaped apples for me. Not as good as medium sized but more then adequate.

The slicer shredder has a much bigger cup capasity and runs on the lower rpm motor. Its perfect for slicing cheese without tearing it to bits. The slicer shredder also comes with an extra blade for French fries. If you make a few cuts in your potatoes and then run it through the slicer it will also cube your food for you. The food processor is smaller and runs on the higher rpm motor where your blender runs. Its good for veggies and very hard meats. I tried slicing pepperoni and cheese in the food processor. It did slice it but it also tore much of it to bits and i didnt like that much waste. Its perfect for say casseroles and salsas or other foods that won't be on display and has to be perfect. I use the slicer shredder for making meat trays and foods that i need to look a certain way and can't use if its deformed. They are bth very useful and important in their own way. I hope this helped you

I make banana bread all the time which is heavier than cake batter and it does not throw batter out of the bowl even without the spatter shield. Start out on the lowest speed till the dry and wet are combined and you shouldn't have a problem. I love this beater!!! It is way better than the Kitchen Aid beater which only has rubber on one side. Keep the whip and dough hook and toss the beater that came with your mixer in the back of the drawer, once you have this one you'll never reach for it again.

There is a Solar powered version (571S), but it can only slice bananas during the day.

As long as you skewer it where the core is it will slice and core it just fine. As far as peeling oddly shaped apples, it will peel the roundest part the best. It doesn't handle dips very well. But I would still recommend it to slice and core it. It works way better than the push down one where half the time your knuckles hit the counter.

I am sorry I can not help you . I do not know the answer I am using the blade the slicer came with as I am afraid to change the blade.... It is very sharp.... good luck

I do not have any direct experience with the Ninja 800 series with the dual speed blades. The theory looks good, and I would guess it works very well. Since you appear to want to do smoothies (from your purchase of the NutriBullet) the dual speed blade would only come into play if you are using the large 72 oz pitcher, as the individual cups would get a single speed blade. I choose the 700 series with the single speed blades because we wanted the accessories that came with that model, and to have the ability to do various tasks. As far as our 770 series, the unit has performed well over the few months we have owned it. In the first week, I tried all the functions, crushing ice, making smoothies, making bread dough, chopping vegies, and mixing cake batter. All functions worked great. In the long haul, we have made bread dough, do cake & brownie mixes, cookie dough, and blend ground turkey with other meats (for flavor). We want to do more smoothies, it does a fantastic job on them, but haven't done many yet. It runs great, does a terrific job, and cleans easily. But any type of motorized equipment can be bad out of the box, sounds like the case with your NutriBullet.

I have never tried it for this, but it appears it would work the slicer is mostly made for vegetables. If you use it for this purpose It may work, but the lifespan of the equipment would be shorter.

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.

Have not cut peperoni, but have shaved semi-froze raw beef and American cheese you could see through and that was with the serrated blade. Have not tried the smooth one yet. As long as you know it is a home slicer and not the one in the super market you should be very happy with the 615. It will slice down to less than a 1/4" heal. I have also sliced very nutty and course fruit fruit cakes in 3/16" slices and did not tear up.
