Yes...
It is ideal for slicing tomatoes and veggies.
The finger guard even has a small round cut out that can be used to
slice carrots, celery, etc.
On a recent Cooking In The Dark show, I used it to slice a zucchini long
ways to make oven fried zucchini strips.
It has 4 thickness settings and will Julian too.
I used it last night to slice and Julian tomatoes for tacos!
It sells for $38 and currently is Mice Priced at around $33.

The Smart Slice sold at Blind Mice Mart is perfect for this.
No matter if using it or another mandolin type slicer, e sure to use the finger
guard to ensure no finger tips end up with the sliced onions!
These devices are sharp but cut such nice, even slices!
Keep on Cooking!

The common tool for this is a mandolin (sp?), which you can use to cut slices
by running the onion over the surface. You'll want to trim the ends and take
the skin off first, and be careful, as it's simple to nick yourself with one --
both blind and sighted people tend to do this a lot. To avoid nicking yourself,
get a butcher's glove, which is made of very small rings, like a glove made out
of chainmail.

Subject: [CnD] Technique for Slicing Onions Into Rings
Hi, Everyone.
I'm Dani, and I'm a list newbie. I'm 45 and live in HI with my husband David.
I'm an enthusiastic cook,, and a not-so-enthusiastic cleaner.
I made a dish last night that required that the onion be sliced in to rings. I
managed the task all right, with the minor mishap of nicking my fingers while
doing one of the slices. They came out on the chunky side. The dish turned out
really tasty, not as spicy as I was afraid it might be, (the pepper fumes were
coming out of the top of the glass after I used the immersion blender to blend
the marinade). There'll be some nice leftovers to go in to a casserole and
tortillas over the next few days.
I'll need to do the onion ring slicing again, since David says this dish is
something that he wants as a regular. Yay to having the chicken again. And
onion rings are necessary for ... making onion rings, one of the things on my
to-try list.
Do any of you have ideas for how to do this more effectively?
At this point, I cut the onion in half, then lay one half on the cutting board
cut side down. I hold the knife blade parallel to the counter, make a cut in
the onion, and turn the onion counterclockwise (I'm a leftie) till it gets cut.
The job gets done, but the slices can be inconsistent.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Dani
