can I use this to chop vegtables when canning salsa

Yes you can. You may need to try different plates in the front until you get the right consistency you want. I can tell you that it won't slow you down as it will grind about anything. Very powerful.

i would say YES, but i do not have this attachment, i have the one that slices/grates, like this one, KitchenAid RVSA Slicer/Shredder Attachment for Stand Mixers and even then i think it might work....sorry i wasn't much help.

Yes we used it to chop up vegetables actually more like purée the vegetables for the salsa. Just make sure you're using an USDA approved recipe for canning salsa.

I did use mine for salsa but since the seeds were not an issue, I can't say they kept out all or even most of the seeds. Sorry.....

I wouldn't recommend it unless you want liquid salsa. It is great for tomato juice and a

If you put enough spinach in it and just pulsed it a few quick times it would do a rough chop. If you put too little it won't do much of anything. I'd just do it by hand honestly. It best with things like making guacamole, or making breadcrumbs. Too much chopping/ grinding of ingredients like onions and spinach just brings out the moisture and gives an undesired amount of liquid with the veg.

I suppose it would work but I have a separate food processor I use for chopping fruit for jams or ingredients for salsa. You would have to use care not to over process your ingredients.

It depends entirely on you. How long you crank the handle determines how fine the chop... The first time I used it I turned my tomatoes into almost Salsa, green peppers also. Then I realized that I had to not turn so many times and or so fast. I even go forward and backward. Probabaly only 5 to 6 turns sill make chop for say tacos. The more you spin it the finer you can make it.

I use it to make salsa. I cut up tomato's, onions, and peppers. Works awesome for cutting up these veggies to a salsa consistency.

It will chop them in the chopper attachment, but definitely more on the wet side. I use if for chopping onions all the time though. Not so good for tomatoes, if I may say.

No. You'll want to get a food processor for that function. If you tried to dice and chop with this you'd just end up with pulverized mush.

I used this pot to blanch tomatoes so I could peal them to make spaghetti sauce. I have not used the pot to can tomatoes or salsa, which is why I bought it but never got around to canning anything. I didn't have any problems blanching the tomatoes. I hope this helped you.

No, to can these vegetables you need to use a pressure canner. Water bath canning is only suitable for high-acid foods such as fruits and pickles. Here's a link with more information: http://www.freshpreserving.com/tools/pressure-canning

Modern day canning advise does not recommend canning vegetables in anything other than a pressure canner. However, this steam canner can be used for anything you would normally feel safe canning in a water bath. I have canned tomato sauce and pickles with no problems. It is up to the individual canner what risks/limits you feel safe taking. I personally would not use it for green beans at least, but again tomatoes and pickles have worked great!

I don't see why not. I've chopped carrots before without a problem, I use it all the time to chop onions, cilantro, parsley, and to make guacamole. It saves a lot of time.

Yes, it should work fine for that. I purchased it originally to mince cilantro to make guacamole. It is so much faster than using a knife or scissors. I simply strip the leaves off fresh herbs and roll over then several times and I'm done. I'm sure you'll be happy with this purchase.

I've never done that, only use it for canning. Not saying it can't be done.

Yes I have and EVEN though I LOVE my Squeezo I will not use it agian for Salsa. We like our salsa chunkier and with less seeds. The largest screen lets seeds though (has to with the larger holes) but presses the tomato into too fine of a pulp for our tastes.

No, I don't think that will work. Baby food is usually much softer than what works best with this chopper. It works well with firm textures like garlic, onion, other firm vegetables and most nuts. I think you need a small food processor which is also available on Amazon. Hope this helps. :)
