The Nicer Dicer comes with two different tops, each with a different size of slicing blades. Here I'm using the finer dicer size. You place your veggie of choice down on the grooved base:
And press down with the top arm, which containers the blades (fine dice or larger dice), and a screw on container. The diced veggies end up in the container on top.
Some veggies are much easier to dice than others. Some require quite a bit of exertion, and you get a loud slamming noise as you dice the veggies. This has, in turn, scared Doogie from the kitchen enough now that when we open the silverware drawer or do other things in the kitchen, he goes running to the bedroom. We've tried working with him on this - coaxing him back out with treats, talking quietly to him, etc...and it's just not happening. :(
Here's the Nicer Dicer with more peppers...
And here's some little mini homemade french baget pizzas we made one night - mine have the peppers and mushrooms falling out them (these are veggies Brett won't touch on a pizza). The Nicer Dicer made quick work of the peppers for the pizza, and I figure it'll come in real handy when I need to prep lots of homegrown hot peppers for the freezer!
Sometime soon I hope to do up french fries - supposedly the Nicer Dicer is great for potatoes!

Alright. Tell me the truth. Does this thing stand a chance of cleanly slicing anything with the softness of a tomato or would I just end up with mush?
I'm very critical of these slicing gadgets, given the utter failure of my "the best" mandoline.
I honestly haven't tried it on tomatoes yet, but as soon as I do I'll let you know. I DO have to say it did an AMAZING job on potatoes! The ONLY issue is keeping them stable while trying to slice an entire medium sized potato (no way a large one would fit). We got some boomerang-shaped fries since the tater slid a bit as I was slicing down, changing the angle of the cut.
