Has anyone used the salad shredder to shred carrots for carrot cake.... is the shredding fine enough for cakes?

Funny you should ask. I DO use my salad shooter to make a carrot cake that my family raves about. It was my mother-in-law's recipe and I never made it while she was alive. But since she passed away last year, I decided to try making her carrot cake. I know she was really picky about how finely the carrots were shredded and probably my carrots are not shredded quite as fine as hers, but we all love it. Happy baking to you.

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.

The carrots would be fine enough for me for a carrot cake. And soooo easy! This is the only way to go when it comes to shredding carrots!

I know it will slice carrots. Look at the Oxo mandoline site Here is the link: http://www.oxo.com/p-543-chefs-mandoline-slicer.aspx# When you get to that screen scroll down and select the use and care icon. It shows shredded carrots.

Yes, I grated some carrots for carrot cake and even though the grated size of the carrots was a tiny touch large, they worked perfectly. I used baby carrots and it shredded the entire carrot, no chunks leftover in the grater.

I have had mine for a while, but used it for the first time last weekend. It worked beautifully on round cakes. I let it cool completely, sliced off the crown and then sliced it into two thin layers for a multilayered cake. The wire slide through the cake like a hot knife through butter. No sawing motion necessary. Sliced four round cakes and had precisision matched layers. Extremely satisfied with performance.

I have not used mine for slicing yet. The only thing I used mine for is shredding carrots, and it worked beautifully. Sorry I can not help you with your question.

Yes, we use an electric shredder it works great. But once it's all in a bin with water etc, we stir it and let it "meddle" and ends up breaking up even more over time.

No, N....its a large hole shredding blade. They sell a fine shredding blade but it'll cost an arm & a leg, I think I spent almost $60 on one for my 14 cup model...just so I could make carrot cakes. And btw....it tends to get clogged, so it wasn't really worth it. Rather than dirty & have to wash all those parts of the FP I just drag out the old manual fine shredder & take 2 minutes & a little elbow grease to do the job.

Yes, I've never had a problem grating raw carrots, but it doesn't grate so much as finely shred them. I use the finest shredding drum for coleslaw, and the coarser one for carrot cake. I've had this attachment for more than twenty years.

They Are Sort Of Like A Duel Pizza Cutter. I Only Use It For Basic Salads. The Hardest Thing I've Ever Cut WithThem Is A Shredded CaRrot.

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.

I only use it for cheeses. They aren't as hard as carrots , radishes etc. I think it would be s little difficult. Really not made for it.. Great for cheese though

I just tested it for you and ground through one of the daily junk mail Chase credit card apps envelopes, and it shredded it no problem. I love my Fellowes. It's the best shredder I've purchased. Remember to use some oil every now and then, per the instructions, to keep it moving well. I also take the top off and make sure nothing has wrapped itself around anything. Be sure to unplug it first, says Momma Sharon, I don't think you will be disappointed.

I like it but it does chop different sizes. I used it to make a veggie salad. You have to quarter the vegetables before you chop them. Sometimes the quartershave to be cut again. For soft foods pulse lightly. I love using it to make egg salad.As far as I know, it won't shred. There might be another chopper that's betterand more expensive but this one is good enough. Also, if I want the bestuniform chopped vegetable....large or small dice....then I use a knife. I hopeI helped you....Jan

It does a great job on cabbage. I've made crocks of sauerkraut several times using it to do all of the shredding and have been very pleased.Gloria

Unfortunately it doesn't shred cabbage, it just makes a big mess. I would stick with squash and carrots.

Could you please tell me if it does carrot or zucchini "pasta" ? if it could shred these two veggies like a noodle or pasta thickness?Thank you
