Is it wide enough for a pineapple ?

If you mean a whole cross section, the answer is "no". I use it for things like a small onion, medium lemon, medium tomato. I am guessing that you would have to slice the pineapple in at least quarters. Besides, the slices are thin (maximum about 3 mm, 1/8 inch) and I suspect that you might not be happy with the thickness. Works great for thin slices of lemon to place on fish that you are going to bake or very thin onion for salads.

I would say no, if you are trying to slice a whole pineapple. It would be good for half or quarter. But the biggest issue is that it slices too thinly for pineapple. At least for my opinion. I typically slice pineapple at least 1/2" thick and this is nowhere near that. I'm thinking that pineapple sliced with this mandolin would have a tendency to fall apart. But that's just my opinion. Maybe next time I slice a pineapple, I'll give it a shot.

In my opinon, no. I have not tried a pineapple, but I don't think it would cut all the way to the edge.

I would say -- no. The sliding surface is 3 inches wide. Would have to be a pretty small pineapple or perhaps one cut in half.

I just measured mine and it is 1 3/4" from the center. A 3" blade would take a really LARGE pineapple.

I think it would be wide enough, but it is a little short from knee to hip.

it is wide enough to hold a big T-Bone steak. That is why we bought it. Works great

Hmmm Yeah probably it's a decent size. The bottom inside (the lining) doesn't look like its very sturdy. I use mine for a fruit tray, I line up apples with a tea towel underneath. It's nice it should hold plenty.

I'd say it is wide enough to store a large strawberry, not an apple or orange.

The recommended pineapple size is 3-5 pounds. Therefore, the diameter of the fruit will be minimum of 4 inches. The core is efficiently removed and all the juice is retained with minimal waste. The pineapple shell can be used to serve individual tropical drinks. I purchased one for myself and was soooo satisfied with the speed and ease of use that I bought another as a gift.Highly recommend this item.

It's wide, but I don't think it's wide enough for a block of cream cheese without getting it all over the inside of the lid.

If using a pineapple ring, the answer is no. Bottom of cup is not large enough. If using pineapple chunks, then it would make a nice size mini cake.

If it is a large pineapple some will be wasted. It has done well for me on the average size pineapple.

I can't say yes or no because we never tried! The blade that cuts the pineapple is larger than an apple, so I would have to say no, for safety reasons! If you choose to try it be careful, very careful..... You just might cut yourself in the process.

Yes it is wider. Not at location but at least 12 inches more. It is a lovely piece.

Roughly 2 1/2 x 4 3/4. I think it would be wide enough, but you would have to break it in half.

No, it is about 12 inches wide (holds a 12 inch pizza) I use corning ware-many of their square pieces fir.

It is at least that wide. I can't get to it right now as we are in the middle of a kitchen remodel and it is in my storage building with all of my canning equipment.. Hope this helps
