Can you slice ginger with this?

Hi, While our slicer has only had to deal with garlic, the chef says that ginger should not be a problem. One may get thick or thin slices by the pressure applied to the item being sliced. With the extremely sharp cutter blade, most any food substance up to a shallot, or similar, should be fair game. When asked about carrots, no. Things likely to become gummy were also a no-no.

Sorry, I can't give you a thumbs up on this one since I never tried to slice ginger. You can try small pieces at a time to see how it works for you. To be perfectly honest with you, I like the Zyliss slicer product, but I wish it were a little bigger. Let me know how you make out!

Interesting idea!I don't see why not - of course, the hopper may not accommodate larger pieces of ginger, so you may need to cut the ginger to fit - but the Zyliss slicer is quite sharp and does a very nice job on garlic - the slices are thin and uniform.My wife is more of a ginger fan, so she may want to give it a go.Good luck - and enjoy!

If you mean by knife, the answer is no. If you mean by pulling the capsule apart and pouring half of it into an empty gelatin capsule, then the answer is yes.

No, but you can make very thin slices, stack them, and then juilienne them with a knife.

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!

Hi There,I would just rinse the blade part not get in there with a sponge. the other part has nothing sharp so you will be safe. This is the best tool since sliced bread ( pardon the pun) but really it is great for bagels, english muffins slices evenly and no worries about cutting yourself.

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 that but I'm sure it can. It's very powerful and sharp. I only tap it a total of 3-4 times to chop ginger down to fluid

I wouldnt want to slice tomtatoes or onions with it. I would be afraid of getting my fingers in the blade. I would use a mandaline for that.

To be honest, mine broke after the 4th use. I purchased a new one just recently and will be a little more ginger stuffing carrots to be chopped :-)

Yes. It has several different grater plates to do almost any style you would wnat. Just know that carrots and suger have a high sugar content so use sparingly if anyone has a high blood sugar problem.

No. Do not invest in this slicer. It is extremely difficult to clean and the instruction book was translated into English VERY POORLY.

you can, but i would not recommend it, this is designed for pastry and other baking needs; you will dull and ruin your knives very quickly if you decide to use this to cut veggies and meat;

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.

Hi Emma, it grates carrots to a fine paste. We do not have attachment that will slice. Hope that helps - Brian Vaisnoras President Grandma Anns

Yes. You should be able to slice cabbage with no problem. But wear a glove because this thing doesn't play if you cut yourself with it. The blade is crazy sharp!

It's only around 4 inches wide so I would say no, unless it was a small cabbage and you quartered it before slicing. I wouldn't purchase this item it's very cheaply made particularly when you look at the price. When you bare down to slice it varies the thickness of the material you're cutting. I ultimately discarded the item is being useless.

i dont know exactly because i have never tried it with ginger. i think ginger is a root and it will be a little bit too hard to press. but who knows may be if you cut it in small enough pieces and press hard enough it will work.
