Will it chop carrots the same way that a grater does? I need them for a cake

I asked my wife who is better at cakes than I am. She assured me that it will chop carrots fine enough to use them in a cake. One of her primary uses for this tool is to chop carrots.

It would make them a lot smaller than your grater would but it would definitely chop them a lot faster. You just have to watch it or else they will be chopped too finely.

Yes you can it does a good job with Potatoes Carrots Onion if you cut it in half first, hope that helps�I have just reread this, I did not mention tha I cut potatoes into for or five rings before chopping it only takes a couple of minutes depending on their size also Carrots if they are large I cut them about 4 times and medium onions in half.

I haven't tried carrots yet with it. it shreds potatoes and cheese nicely. It can slice sticks of pepperoni but not very well you have to push pretty hard. I think it would shred carrots nicely. It works great and I love that you can store stuff after you shred it.

If you want a coarse chop, this won't work. However, it does make very quick work of fruits and berries if you want to purée them. It is a powerful machine with a good-sized capacity.

It is a strip slicer so cuts things into julienne strips, so with an onion it will act more like a grater than a slicer. I use it to grate zucchini and onions for my quinoa turkey meatballs recipe. And to julienne vegetables like carrots, zucchini, beets, cucumber, for salads etc

I have really good luck with it. I snip off the carrot bottoms (just that nubby thingy), break the carrots usually in half, and pulse stopo pulse stop pulse until they are as large or small as I want. The more you pulse, the smaller they become. I'm in love with this chopper. Got it in May 2013, reviewed it here somewhere around then.

Yes. It's not great for carrots unless they are some really big carrots. It's awesome for onions and bigger veggies like zucchini or cucumber.

It will chop it into small pieces. However, it does come with a small mandolin attachment that might work. I usually quarter a cabbage and use a chef's knife to cut the cabbage in thin strips. It's pretty easy and quick.

Not really. When you feed vegetables down the chute into the spinning grater blade you get short ribbons of veggies, looking much like grated cheese. I don't think kids would be fooled for a minute. Aside from that though, my wife and I really like this machine. The unique design makes it more flexible than a conventional food processor.

Nothing it won't cut. Carrots are easy. The blade is sharp enough to slice the tough skin on peppers. It works well for chopping salads and hard boiled eggs. You will be pleased. Much better choice than the duplex blade cutters.

Yes just yesterday I did a cup cake batter with carrots I just had to flip the dispenser upside down and spray it with water to make sure no carrots are stuck at the end , also soak it in water for five minutes before you start washing it

If you want small round disks, you jab the carrot standing up into the pins of the handle. A long carrot is too unstable and will flip off. So you have to cut the carrot into maybe a 2"-3" piece, jab it on standing up and try to cut it. It's easier at a bit of an angle. If you want long strips, jab the carrot on sideways and drag the length of the carrot across the blade. And if you are talking baby carrots forget it. I've tried. Honestly, a food processor with a feed tube is the best way to go to quickly slice carrots.

Yes. This cuts carrots and they are much harder than sweet potatoes. It cuts a veggie platter quickly but wont cut green peppers. It does cucumbers and carrots beautifully and any kind of potatoes! I love my cutter!

Absolutely ! Works great right out of the box - I was so excited to make potato pancakes that I didn't even think to wash the grater parts.Simple stated this is a great machine and well worth the investment.

You mean the best grater? That depends on what you're making. Hash browns - use the same greater you use for carrots. For chips, use the same greater you would use for cucumber slices.

Haven't tried it, but I am guessing it would "chop" hard cheese. I think of grating as taking it over a surface. But I think it would "chop" it up just fine.

I do not think it will work....surely you can just use a knife.It works so well for harder fruit and veg....celeriac or beetroot are a dream once grated with this 'machine'
