I what to find a chopper can chop peanuts into not too small pieces, about 1/8 to 1/4 of a peanut. Will this machine do? Thanks!

Yes, It will chop fine &super; fine! It does a super job on my walnuts! It should do the job for you! Chops alittle larger too!

I like this chopper, but I think it will too fine for your needs. I also use a chopper by Pampered Chef that allows more control on piece size, although not perfectly uniform.

In my opinion even the coarse setting chops a little finer than that. But it would be pretty close. My experience is that there is more consistency with this chopper than with a food processor, but not as much flexibility in chop size.

Personally I am disappointed with this chopper. I use a lot of different nuts and seeds. They get stuck in the blades and it's really not an uniform chop. Also the harder the nut or seed the hard it is to turn the hand crank.

I have only used the small baby carrots. Yes, I would not put an entire carrot in, I would cut them up in 1 inch pieces. I love this chopper.

Just chopped onions yesterday. Whether the onion is chopped or pulverized depends upon how long you operate the chopper. I watched as the onion was chopped and stopped when the desired fineness was achieved. Worked great.

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

Definitely! I used mine to chop carrots for soup all the time. You do need to cut the carrots into about 3 inch lengths, to fit on the cutting blade (or just use baby carrots). If the carrot was really, really thick, I sometimes split it lengthwise. More so the pieces would be uniformly sized more than that the chopper couldn't handle it.

Yes, best little chopper for left overs to make sandwich salads. I really like this chopper, I use it a lot instead of getting out food processor.

I would like to know how well the slicer works on potatoes. Also, does the shredder work on chopping nuts? Thanks!

Yes. I chop morsels to make it melt easy. I use it to chop almonds, nuts, and cookies too.

I use it to chop nearly anything that will fit in the bowl. For lettuce and spinach you'd have to do a very small amount at a time. It would probably only be practical if you needed a small amount.

It will chop finely, but it is definitely a learning curve on how to make it work that way. It's really easy to turn nuts into butter if you are not careful. Lots of shaking it up after a blast or two. For example: I can do it, but my wife can't. Of course that means I now have to chop all the nuts when she bakes, but it's worth the effort! ;)

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.

I haven't used it for chopping nuts but I can't see where it would be a problem. I am on my second chopper and I wouldn't buy another type.

Yes, I chop almonds-just don't overload it all at once. I would recommend cutting a medium onion into quarters to help the rotation chopping action.

I have not tried chopping nuts, but I imagine there would be no problem if the nuts were coarsely chopped before putting them in the chopper. I make awesome pico or salsa, but i always start with the onions, tomatoes, and peppers cut into pieces. If i cannot easily pull the cable, I reduce the size of whatever is being chopped. As for pesto, i would use nuts like walnuts because they can easily be chopped. The chopper is so much easier to use than the food processor or the blender.

I bought this for my mother, but after looking at it, it really is a nut chopper. I would get an actual mill for that. Granted, I don't own it, nor have I used hers, but I just don't think the blades are going to make a fine grind, just chop.

Yes, but it would have to be made in very small batches. So, if you combined the ingredients in a larger container and fed the chopper incrementally, it should work. It does puree quite well. Just small amounts.

It will chop nuts not sure about hard veggies I only used it for salads, it isn't a sharp blade
