can this be used on cabbage for cole slaw?

I haven't used it for that. I guess if you had chunks of very firm cabbage that you could keep together long enough for the purposes of sliding against the blade, it would work. It has different blades for different purposes.

It would work pretty well but you might want to consider a cut resistant glove if you want the best results as the guard that comes with the slicer is a nice feature to keep fingers away from the blade but not that great at holding together things that want to fall apart when slicing like cabbage. I personally recommend a glove to anyone using it as the blades are very sharp and while I haven't hurt myself bad with I did touch the blade once enough to get a slight cut.

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."

I haven't tried it yet, seems feasible...would have to keep wedges on the small size I think!

Sorry, I have not. Unfortunately, I don't have any cabbage either, or I'd try it for you. I want to say this tool would be great for anything, but I would imagine cabbage would be frustrating with such small openings.

I have yet to use mine, but maybe if you lined the bottom with cabbage your rice would stay moist.

Yes, you can. I tried it tonight with both a cheapie flint and a Swedish Flint Steel and both made adequate sparks. I normally just use a section of hack saw blade though. I also drilled a hole though the rear most portion of the handle and made a long loop out of 550 (para-cord) that way I can wear it necklace style if I'm worried about loosing it in heavy brush, etc. plus I have a nice loop of 550 to use if needed.

I think it shreds cabbage very well. I use mine all the time for this purpose.

I have never used it for hard root vegetables. It works great with onion, so cabbage should be ok (I slice that rather than dice it). Cooked beets are fine of course.

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

I would try it, Laurel. I needed something to grate my carrots more finely for my cole slaw and this has been a terrific solution.

I use it for cabbage, carrots, onion, potato, any hard vegetable. No problem.

Absolutely not. We have used our three Gartopf's for cabbage for sauerkraut, green tomatoes, kimchi and cucumber pickles and never smelled a thing. With the unique "moat" of water around the lid, nothing can escape except a very soft "glop" sound now and then. We love these things. Thanks for asking.

Perhaps if the meat was really really cold but I doubt it would work well. It's more useful for slicing firm vegetables - cabbage, carrots, potatoes...

No. Use a coarser grater for a potato. This is very fine and good for tasks like zesting lemon and orange peel, and grating ginger.

I have cut cabbage and carrots, but not beet roots. It is one of my favorite kitchen tools! There are a few tricks that help it to be better. Make sure the tomatoes are skin up, face down or they will squirt all over! Great for salsa! And with carrots, onions, cabbage, etc., cut them in pieces that make them easier to cut. When they are too hard, I just sort of keep hitting or tapping it until it goes through rather than pressing it all at once. Hope this helps!

I haven't used this to cut cabbage, beetroot or carrots yet. I have used it for onions, bell peppers, tomatos, & jalapenos. I would think the cabbage would be fine, as for the beet root & carrot, you would have to cut them up in smaller pieces before dicing, in my opinion.

Absolutely. We use it to shred carrots and cabbage for coleslaw, but if you use the larger slicing disc, it would be great for chopping veggies for soup, etc.This is a great product. We purchased it a year ago and it still works like new :)

A resounding Yes! As long as you don't exceed capacity of the bowl sizes, cabbage will be an easy job.
