Oh I'm sorry --- I have not tried to do cabbage. It is marvelous on cheese and to make deviled egg sandwiches (can do the eggs and the pickles together to make fantastic mixture), but I have not done cabbage. To me it is a 'must have' kitchen appliance.

I haven't tried cabbage yet. It does a great job on shredding carrots, slicing peeled cucumbers, and shredding frozen green peppers. I definitely like mine.

I shredded some purple cabbage and it did a very fine shred, not like you would find in a salad bar, but more fine. I thought it did a good job of it's a very fine shred that you're looking for.

Yes, it does, but I don't use it for cabbage. Cabbage is so easy to chop up by hand and it takes a longer time putting small amounts into the Salad Shooter. But the S.S. is GREAT for carrots and things of that texture. Great for cheese too.

I have chopped cabbage in mine. You can't fill it very full, so you'll have to do the process several times.But this little baby can chop--fine or coarse. I love it.

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.

Personally, I would want the cheese very cold but not quite frozen. So only take out a little at time to shred. Good at cabbage for cole slaw. I preferred the older model to this one. So I recommend you shop carefully the magnets that hold device closed are stronger than the plastic. I'm starting to get some crazing in my plastic. It DOES do what it is supposed to.

It works perfectly with kale. I've never juiced spinach, but I would assume it should yield the same results. As advertised, the pulp that remains is VERY dry.

It does chop veggies - but it does a better job mincing them, like Harlan Harris says. I used it to "chop" celery, carrots, tomato, bell pepper, cauliflower, and broccoli with ease! Softer things like tomatoes don't do too well in there - it turns out like a puree.

Yes, it will shred cabbage, the cabbage needs to be cut into pieces, that will fit in the shute. Some times, if I only need about a quarter of cabbage, I'll just remove the lid and place it in, then put the lidback on, and pulse it. It's a great little machine!........Paul

Depending in how much you are doing you can get a mandolins slicer for cabbage but that is a manual or a food processes. If it's hundreds of people a continuous feed did processor would be your best bet

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. 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."

Yes, it will shred cabbage as long as your chunks fit down the input chute. I haven't done much cheese with it. As long as you don't force the feed too hard and bind up the blade, it does fine.

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

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.

No, but not sure why you would need to, if you are using it for cole slaw. Just a side note, I built a wooden container (like a tote) that the unit sits on, that way all the cabbage is contained within the box, and it is easier to slice the heads of cabbage

Yes, it is. Chose to set the screws so that the finest shreds are produced. I wanted a floss-like shredding of cabbage to make sauerkraut... It is everything I hoped for. If you rest this across a big plastic tub (such as you can find in the oriental food stores (they use them all the time)), you can hold the shredder against the kitchen counter wall with your belly. This makes it easy to use two hands to shred heads of cabbage, meaning you don't tire out and can therefore remain in control; less risk of slipping into the sharp blades. After nearly 160 lbs of cabbage in two days, without any "close calls", I feel this is a very safe practice. Further, on the safety topic: the unit has an industrial-grade thick plastic sliding box that allows you to rest both hands, while racking the food back and forth, and only dip your fingers far enough into the blade area to cause the food to make good contact with the blades, and not "slip" into the blades. Happy Shredding!

I haven't used it on lettuce or larger greens, but I have had good success with fresh herbs such as basil and parsley. It seems to get them small enough to use in dishes without mutilating them.

I use it for fresh herbs, and it's great. It is so fast and easy to control the end product - julienne strips, coarse mince, fine mince, etc. I would imagine it would work equally well on dry. But only buy it if you have the time to be extra-careful with its sharp blades. Hint: I wash it by turning the blades under running water, using a plastic mesh sponge to move the parts. Never fingers!
