yes, I use it all the time just for that. I use the very thin blade and quarter the cabbage head because of the narrowness of the cutter. I shopped a long time before buying this and now own two

Yes. There is a separate blade that be changed and used to shred cabbage, sprouts, onions, even zucchini. Quite easy to change once you've done it a few times."

the width of the shred depends on the size of the head of cabbage, the thickness depends on how much pressure you use while moving the cabbage across the blades approx. 1/8". hope this helps glenn

I've never tried either but I'm sure shredding cabbage would be no problem. Keep in mind that the plastic container and cover are very flimsy and mine broke some time ago and I've had to discard the appliance.

I know it will slice carrots. Look at the Oxo mandoline site Here is the link: http://www.oxo.com/p-543-chefs-mandoline-slicer.aspx# When you get to that screen scroll down and select the use and care icon. It shows shredded carrots.

It worked fine with me for mozzarella. I even used it to shred a cucumber. The maximum size piece you can shred is 2-3 inches wide and essentially limitless length.

No, can not be used with carrots. Personally, I thought it was way under powered. I donated mine to charity after a couple of weeks use. It was fine for hard cheese, butvery difficult to clean. Did not save me any time at all.

Sorry I have not tried shredding coconut yet, but I think it should work. I have used it on ginger, jicama, & other things. I'd try using small pieces.

Definitely! I used mine to chop carrots for soup all the time. You do need to cut the carrots into about 3 inch lengths, to fit on the cutting blade (or just use baby carrots). If the carrot was really, really thick, I sometimes split it lengthwise. More so the pieces would be uniformly sized more than that the chopper couldn't handle it.

this is a strong good machine and works great. but i don't know how the shape of the potato will look like or is it going to be very small for chips. it will shred the potato no problem bc it does the carrots very well. hope this helps :)

I've never heard of anyone doing that before but I don't know why it can't be done. It has the big center blade that could probably do that. But I am not for sure. Maybe you could write directly to the company and see what they say. I only had experience with the shredding and slicing blades, which I would NOT recommend. But some people don't care if it doesn't cut all that great. It is a very powerful machine, so I would imagine it could do the job. I hope that helps. Good luck.

Yes, unless you like enormous pieces of carrot. This will make little tiny shreds. I've only used it with parmesan but it made nice shreds of that so should do the same with carrot.

YES it will shred it, However, you must load the machine lightly with live tree branches, plants, brush and or fruits or it will clog. Each year, I shred whatever is left in the garden (tomatos, onions, and other foods) and it is ripped/shredded. I normally wait till these items die before shredding these items because the machine then gets all wet inside which helps rust to take hold and i want the machine to last longer. So I usually wait till things are dried up and dead before i shred them. Remember you cannot clean or dry the inside of the machine so its always best to shred dry/dead items. I have also shredded 4 inch 2x4 pieces and it chops them up also but beware if you do that because it will spit pieces out.

As long as the cabbage is cut to the width of the slicer. I really love this slicer, it is easy to use and easy to wash. I use it atleast 3-4 times a week. This is much more convenient than using a food processor.

It's only around 4 inches wide so I would say no, unless it was a small cabbage and you quartered it before slicing. I wouldn't purchase this item it's very cheaply made particularly when you look at the price. When you bare down to slice it varies the thickness of the material you're cutting. I ultimately discarded the item is being useless.

Hello Julia, I have not shred hash browns, but other veggies, like cabbage, carrots, onions, in my experience, this shredder is O.K. but not sturdy enough, it looks like caves in the middle, it's too light to accomplish a good job in the kitchen.

Love this machine. The mandolin attachment could shred cabbage, however, the regular blade attachment would chop rather than shed. Makes excellent guacamole and chops veggies for soup and salad very well.
