Has anyone used this on rutabaga's with success? They are harder than sweet potatoes.

I found that it was very hard to operate. Most ladies can not operate, Really needs to be bolted down in the vertical posit ion. Helps if the potatoes are partly cooked too. I have not used it on rutabaga's but I assume it would be as hard to use as with fresh potatoes.

I used potting soil. My potato crop was extremely small in size and harvest numbers. My onions did not do well either, but my sweet potatoes were abundant although small. This season I am changing to bagged garden soil and see what happens.

As long as the overspray doesn't get on vegetable leaves. It is okay for very small areas but too expensive for larger areas as it has to be repeated sometimes several times. Didn't know this until I purchased and read directions. Not as good as RoundUp that I have stopped using totally because of the environment and reason I used Burnout II looking for alternatives. Still looking.

I have put baked and mashed sweet potatoes through it to make dog treats. The softer texture seemed like it was a little bit messier than using meat. I'm going to try using a pastry bag next time. That might be a better option for pureed fruit too.

I tried it in a flan (which is a custard). I thought it gave it a gritty texture. I wouldn't use it again. I have'nt tried it in anything else.

I thought I had a dud at first too. I was just holding it upside down.. it works great on zucchini and sweet potatoes.

Thank you for taking interest in our set of strainers. I am sorry to hear you had a miss purchase before, but have no fear All Times Finest is here! :P.. Haha but back on topic, these are very sturdy and during. When comparing our quality to the ones of Cuisinart for example, the quality of both are actually quite the same. All our sets should come in perfect condition, and shouldn't be bent or have squished mesh. However, during transport somethings can always get messed up, so if this happens, just contact me straight away and I will sort it out for you in a flash! They will work for almost any seeds or grains as long as they are not grinded/crushed. Quinoa, rice, and other grains which remain in the form how they occur in nature will work. But maybe this isn't the answer to your question. What do you mean exactly with will the strainers work for those grains? Will you be able to clean them in a proper way, than the answer is yes without a doubt. If, you mean something else, please let me know.

I would say that it is likely it will take care of it pretty easily. I haven't done sweet potatoes w the spiralizer yet though. You might also check out this spiralizer. GEFU Spiralfix Spiral Cutter I would be more likely to give this route a try given another chance. Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkwVhBOWUV0&feature;=youtube_gdata_player

Not necessarily. I used larger potatoes but I just cut them in half before I put it in there. One thing though, it's gets difficult to use after the first few uses. The blades wore down extremely fast. I just about killed myself trying to put a sweet potato through it.

Yes, but it works a little easier if you square off the ends. If the potatoes are real firm it will give you a little exercise but it does work on sweet potatoes or yams.

I have not tried sweet potatoes, but I believe you can. I tried it on beets and its the same type as a sweet potatoes. This juicer seems strong enough to get a sweet potatoes juiced up :)

Nope. It works well on soft vegetables like peppers, but not on any hard vegetables. It's not strong enough.

I just made sweet potato chips yesterday. I sliced them as thinly as I could, rubbed olive oil on them, and sprinkled some with sea salt and some with cinnamon. I dried them for about 11 hours, I think. They're pretty good, but I think that if I could have gotten them thinner they might have been better. They're very crunchy, but "hard" crunchy. This might be the norm for sweet potato chips, as packaged ones I've had are certainly harder than potato chips. I'm going to look for suggestions for better results, but I think this was a successful first try.

Hi I would really like to help you I myself haven't used this cutter on rutabaga yet , I hope this helps with your decision to get one they also have a big range of cutting blades

This product is definitely more strongly made. The green and white bin is very brittle plastic (mine arrived cracked) while this product's bin is obviously tougher. However, I have to share that I am not strong enough to dice raw potatoes with this gadget. I may have to figure out a way to soften hard vegetables first - maybe mirowave them for a couple minutes? I don't know how yet.

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.
