Will it cube sweet potatoes?
423714
I have not tried sweet potatoes but I have cubed carrots which are just as hard as sweet potatoes. I make a cabbage soup which contains almost every vegetable there is and I have never had any problems with any vegetable. I love the chop wizard and if and when it wears out I will order another. Good luck with your sweet potatoes.

Hi Lori, good question. I am not sure but think you would probably have to soften it a bit perhaps by microwaving for a couple of minutes, not enough to make it soft, but enough to make it more tender. Tomorrow I am going to the grocery store, so I will pick up a sweet potato and try it. I will get back to you with the results of my experiment. Mandy

Hi Lori, I just tried sweet potatoes and the chopper worked great. I used a thin slice of uncooked, unpeeled sweet potato on the smallest of the dicing blades, and it diced easily. Hope this helps!

It will work on cucumbers. Potatoes may need to be cut a little, and carrots it will do the bigger end as long as it's bigger than about a half inch.

I made two sweet potatoes, and it worked very well. You need to follow the directions. I am pleased with the toaster oven.

It all depend on how many and size or what kind of sweet potato. I'll put at least 1 to 1 and half cup of water to try them out.

Yes, it can be used for sweet potatoes. There is a recipe book that accompanies the pet treat maker, or you can use your own recipes.

Hum, I am going to say no. BUT you may be on to something to be honest. If you have a ricer you know that the potatoes get extremely fluffy. for say Gnocchi I only rice the potatoes. Grinding might work though.

Not understanding that first answer. I have 2 stacked to separate potatoes and onions. Very happy with them.

I've used it for all types of potatoes and sweet potatoes and squash and cucumbers. so far no problems - although overly ripe (soft) ones can mush a little. I am happy with mine.

I would guess no. The plastic is not very strong and potatoes can be tough and thick. Maybe if you first cut the potato up into small pieces but that kind of defeats the purpose of having the chopper do the work.

The cutting blades are about 3 1\4 inches square, so you can cut a pretty big potato with this unit. Overall it is a very nice heavy duty unit with four blade sizes. Keep in mind these type of slicers work great for potatoes or carrots but not really made to cut sweet potatoes. So I would say nearly all potatoes would fit this cutter just fine. If you had some really gigantic size potatoes you could cut them in half and run them through the slicer.

If you have the regular model, you have to make cuts on the item being sliced and run the through the V-slicer against those cuts. In other words, if you were trying to cube a potato, make 3-4 long cuts on the end of the potato, and make sure the cuts are going lengthwise in the holder so that the blades will be cutting across the cuts. I hope that makes sense.

It does not appear to git out bowls. I have been very unsatisfied with the product makes a mess and waists food. I have tried zucchini, squash carrots and sweet potatoes with little luck. White potatoes do ok on wide slices.

Depends on the age of the sweet potato, the older it gets, the more dried-out and hard it gets. If it's too hard you may bend your blades. The trick to cutting a sweet potato, is to half or quarter it first which lessons the friction against the blades.

You have the option for both thick and thin. However I have damaged a few blades and have to cut the potato in smaller pieces before passing it through the cutter.

I believe at the answer would be no. I takes strength to cut the potato. We use it to cut jalapenos, onions and other smaller vegetables. Works fine for the smaller vegetables.

Yes, you can cut sweet potatoes. It takes more patience as a sweet potato is harder in its composition than a softer white potatoes and at times it will jam a bit. I cut sweet potatoes for custom dog food that I make and I have never gotten through a batch (20lbs) with out having to poke jammed potatoes from the blade. Patience and you'll be good. When I make large batchs (40+ lbs of potatoes) I use a hand French Fry Cutter / Potato Cutter as it is far easier with out the jam issue. I have the Nemco 56450A-1 - Monster FryKutter - Tabletop Mount. I have it mounted on a wall in the garage (Vertically) as this is easier for me to press down using my body strength for more leverage. Works like a charm. Yes, you can cut sweet potatoes. It takes more patience as a sweet potato is harder in its composition than a softer white potatoes and at times it will jam a bit.

Yes, but this product is small and not very powerful. It will only hold about 3 cubes at a time
