I have not used it for julienne cutting. You wouldn't be able to use the top that you push with. If I did julienne I would cut a carrot in half thenpush it through the smallest dice with me hand. You could try that but I would have something to protect my hand just in case.Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, this model cannot give you a true julienne cut. You would need to use a mandolin with the little tines that come up, a small food processor with a julienne blade. For a cheaper option, you can buy a julienne peeler which runs under $10, depending where you buy it. It looks like a potato peeler, but the blade is designed for the julienne cut. I hope this helps.

I have only used it for carrots but I imagine zucchini or small cucumbers might work. For the results you get with the carrots alone, it is well worth the price.

No, it works like a pencil sharpener. The carrot goes inside like a pencil and is shaved. To make a tomato curl you need a very sharp, thin knife. I submitted the photos on this page. It makes very nice curls from zucchini, cucumbers, and carrots.

I mostly do carrot juice with oranges.. You have two options.. use it with the strainer that comes with it to eliminatefiber.. or not

Maybe use more water? I use mine daily. I steam 6 oz of just about any veggie for 3 minutes and they are perfect. Carrots might take a bit more.

I have used the salad shooter to shred carrots for carrot cakes for years. I usually put the carrots through twice to get an extra fine shredding.

Instructions say cook anything you want. I cook carrots all the time. This is one of the best products I have. I want a bigger one.

I think the best way to figure out the size of the mixing bowl is to look at the whisk. This is a hand mixer, so it will do a couple of ordinary sized carrots, or a couple handfuls of nuts. I think it chops evenly enough, but don't overload the little bowl.

There is a removable blade, which can be a bit difficult to remove (it's easier if you lift it simultaneously from opposite sides). Your fingers don't actually touch the blade because it's at the bottom of a circular rotator so, it's not unsafe. There is also a brush that comes with it to clean the blade. The blade itself is one small part in the middle of the rotator surrounded by lines of much smaller blades (like a grader). Warm water and soap makes cleaning with brush much easier. I'm actually not sure about the wattage (no information on the box) but I can tell you that I usually drink carrot juice concoctions and the carrots go right through along with everything else. I hope that helps.

I didn't know you could get extra cones. Does any one know if they have one that will julienne the vegetables?

I put a raw carrot in my smoothies sometimes. It's best to cut it into slices first. Use the "whole juice" button.

Chop them into smaller pieces but they don't have to be chopped too fine. Works well for chopping carrots!

Yes Emily, you can do one carrot at a time. I purchased it for making zucchini bread.

One other idea would be to julienne, but before hitting the slicer, rotating a quarter turn and julienne again before completing the slice. You would have to keep sliding, rotating, sliding, and slicing each layer.

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 bought this for my sister and only had the chance to use it once at her house. I blended frozen strawberries and it had a little trouble. I think as long as the carrots weren't frozen it could probably do it.

I used it for carrotts. it left a small piece near the bottom. The lef over piece makes it look like two penciled sharped ends.
