Is this a good tool for cutting up Cabbage for making Saurkrut?

Yes and No. I had the wider version, and the cutting surface is just 3.75 inches wide (measured with a caliper), which will require you to quarter your cabbage. In addition, per the enclosed instructions, this model is only capable of cutting to a thickness of 3.0 millimeters, and you can not possibly make it cut any thicker without breaking the unit. I used my calipers to accurately measure the maximum thickness cut possible and it was .180 thick. So, given how much time and effort you want to put into slicing your cabbage heads, and your desired thickness, this wider model may or may not work for you. Best of luck.

I've use it to chop nuts and veggies. I love the way it chops my cabbage and carrots. I also use it to make my pie dough...hope this helps.

Yes, I think it would be good for cutting cucumbers into pickle slices. Good Luck!

I'm not sure. I have shredded carrots and cheese only.It will probably get the job done if you tried shredding the cabbage.M!

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.

It will.. not as good as it cuts through softer vegetables perhaps but it is an amazing tool for anykitchen and i love it.. it's very functional is a lot of ways.

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.

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 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!

no, I use my food processor for cabbage these things are too small for that. The design is that you place the food under the handle and run it over the blade. using this would not be an efficient way to cut cabbage

Answer by S Bryson is spot-on....the shredding blade is great for hash browns, shredded cheese, carrots etc... the slicing blade is great for fried potatoes, sliced veggies (hard ones) not so much for soft ones like tomatoes.... we use this blade for making sauerkraut..it just blasts through a ton of cabbage in short order......the dough blade is great for kneading bread or mixing the lightest scone batter....the metal blade can chop nuts by pulsing, or make nut butters by constant running.....we are very pleased with out Cuisinart. I have had three and each one was bigger than the last..AND they all still work....play with it and enjoy!!

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.

Thomas Thanks for the question. I bought this for my wife to make sour kraut with. The quality of the board is really great and it works really well. Before buying this board my wife spent a lot of time slicing and shredding by hand. Forget about cutting 10 heads of cabbage by hand ever again. The blade on this thing is like having your own personal cabbage ninja. It has a nice box the cabbage half goes into then it slides across the blade. It cuts with ease. The dimensions of the unit are 2' long 9.5" wide and 1.5" thick. The box the cabbage goes in is 8"x7" and is 2.5" tall. The actual cutting blade is 8". I can send actual pics of the unit if you like.

I have this same crock pot, but I have never used it to make sour Kraut. I use it to make kim chi. I cut up about 4 heads of bok choi, one butternut squash, two turnips, and spices. Sorry I can't help you with heads of cabbage.

I wouldn't chop with this...I would rather use my good knife. I bought it to use as a scraper and for that it is great.

I use it for cabbage, carrots, onion, potato, any hard vegetable. No problem.

It should be good for working a small compost heap. The edges are not sharp so no worries about reaching in and clearing packed in soil.
