Hmmm...I guess you could take the slices, turn them and slice again...I haven't tried it, though, so not sure how well it would work.

Being more fragile than citrus fruit I don't know if this would work well unless you were very careful. If the tomatoes are real ripe and don't need pulling or cutting off the vine, then yes. If you need to pull them (as you often do with citrus, then you will damage the plant, as it has no snipping ability. You would have to do it carefully. There is a foam piece on the bottom of the picker to soften the blow when the fruit falls (nice addition especially for softer fruit). The pulling on the plant is what I would be most concerned about. For citrus, I love mine!

I have not tried this but I would say no. The die is thin and is not deep enough to cut through so many pieces of fabric.

You should really plant your tomatoes in a new location. You may have any number of soil borne diseases. Serenade works reasonably well on early blight, but it is hard to tell what your problem made have been.

Not really dice but with the blade in you can chop to the size you need. You'll need to pulse and watch closely so you don't over chop.

what about tomatoes? They're treated like a vegetable, but technically it's a fruit

No, it works like a pencil sharpener. The carrot goes inside like a pencil and is shaved. To make a tomato curl you need a very sharp, thin knife. I submitted the photos on this page. It makes very nice curls from zucchini, cucumbers, and carrots.

Only small, firm tomatoes. Even though the blade is ultra sharp, you still have to exert pressure on the vegetable you are slicing. So this slicer would not work with a very ripe tomato.

Probably, if you like a slightly cooked taste to your tomatoes in salsa. I prefer fresh tomatoes and these are definitely not "fresh". They are much better in soups and sauces which require cooking.

Chop onions into small chunks, then dice. Also, keep palm down on front of dicer so it doesn't break!

The salsa screen does let tomato seeds and small pieces of skin through. You could put the tomatos in boiling water for 60 seconds and then put in ice water. Remove skins and break open to remove seeds. Then you could run it through the salsa sceen.

Those dice are not in the game, but may be from an old version or someone who uses different dies. Its not an accurate picture.

I wouldn't try. The tines not so much sharp as much as they are thin. I think the tomato skin would be too thick.

If you mean 1/4"-1/2" diced pieces, no, it does a nice job with sliced veggies for soups, stews, etc. If I need diced veggies for any recipe I dice them myself using a Chef's knife (8").

Yes you can!! We have stacked them 2 high (2 big squares) but it would be easy to add another . 2 high was just fine for the tomatoes. But I will warn you that the tomatoes do get very tall but it is nice to just reach in with very little bending.

Listen, if you want no chemicals at all in your produce then grow your own. You can do this indoors too. I grow my tomatoes and for several years have dehydrated them then powdered them. Use a dry net on the cheap side, alton brown method or by a SQUARE dehydrator. Slice in a processor extra thin then powder in the processor. You want diced tomatoes? Dice n dry. I stopped buying canned for the most part years ago. I also stopped worrying so much about what I eat. My Gramma is nearly 100 yrs old and lives on her own. She eats what she can easily get
