Can I use it to make zucchini noodles?

I don't see why not it will shred the zucchini I don't know if shape matters.

From what I can tell, I doubt it. I think you would need a mandolin to slice the zucchini.

You know...I am not 100% sure on that one, it does make long shreds, when I shred cheddar cheese the strands are much longer in comparison to other modes of shredding (ie box greater). The only problem I can foresee using the shredding disk is that a zucchini is much lighter than the cheese and this may effect how long you make the noodle. I think you are looking roughly at the length of a egg noodle, and that is if you shove the zucchini in the spout lengthwise to promote the formation of a noodle. The Vita-Mix comes to mind when you said zucchini noodles (just thinking of the commercial, not that a vita-mix could make the noodle), and if that is what you are looking for lengthwise...I don't think this will do it. Hope that helps.

I say go for it! I have been pleased with this processor and its ability to handle tough resistance. This has to be measured against my Hamilton Beach processor with did sterling service from 1973 to 2013.

If you can cut it with a butter knife, you can chop it with this. Its not like an electric food processor by any stretch. I only use it for very very very soft foods. Not too versatile whatsoever. I recommend good knife or an electric food processor. It's good for salsa and sauces.

Yes! I have fried zucchini, to try it out, and it was fabulous! This is definitely worthy product, I am glad I chose this one, diamond in the rough. The recipes include crispy coating, beer batter, milk batter, quesadilla crispers, apple pie fritter, and jalapeno kickers. I have not tried them all, but I plan to. I use it mostly for French fries and it also takes a little less than 48 oz of cooking oil. Good luck, I don't think you will regret it.

No, you would not want to cut the zucchini. Average size and smaller zucchini will work. The blades are very sharp. It is easy to twist the zucchini. You will get long spirals of zucchini and get left with a cute knobby end attached to a long small spiral from the center.

You can make dough for pasta, so i presume you can make dough for noodles as well. Contact customer service at Zojirushi to find out for certain.

I see no reason why you couldn't use it for blanching. Instead of cooking pasta just put your vegetables in the inner basket. Then when you're ready you can pull the basket out with the vegetable in it and set it in ice water.

Yes. I have used it on zucchini and yellow squash, radish and a few other veggies.

Haven't really tried that yet! It's not an easy utensil to use. They don't make perfect spirals. Had issues with the vegetable shredding into short pieces.

Absolutely you can. Here's the kitchen aid video demonstration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3rPY0Zob9Q

Hi there frogholler! No it doesn't. It works more like a masher. It creates a mushy apple sauce like substance. There is a special nozzle that creates noodles, but that would be from a dough like substance, not like spiralizing zucchini. I hope this helps! It's a GREAT juicer for fruits, veggies, and greens. But that's about all I use it for.

yes you can there are even recipes in the booklet! You can also steam vegetables in it is a steamer basket. I love mine.

You can make long and short spiral strips. It's easier to get spirals out of the Zucchinis while the carrots spiral is a bit harder because it's a much firmer vegetable

I used the bread maker to mix mine, so I can't see why you could do the same with a food processor. :)

We have never used it for that recipe but these are very light weight in taste and work in many recipes including soups, sauces, mixed with vegetables, and more. My wife and grandkids love these noodles.

yes, but you would have to be making a huge batch. I have used it for making everything from cheese, to apple sauce, to bone broth.

This machine is made for chopping and shredding veggies and making hamburger, chicken salad and such . I believe bread dough would be too heavy a task and most probably would burn out t he processor. I would advise against it.

I added a zucchini pure to my pasta dough to make it green? And it turned out great
