has anyone been able to shred hash browns with this slicer?

Hello Julia, I have not shred hash browns, but other veggies, like cabbage, carrots, onions, in my experience, this shredder is O.K. but not sturdy enough, it looks like caves in the middle, it's too light to accomplish a good job in the kitchen.

Yes. There is a separate blade that be changed and used to shred cabbage, sprouts, onions, even zucchini. Quite easy to change once you've done it a few times."

For those of you who get great results shredding carrots: WHAT AM I DOING WRONG??? My main purpose for buying a food processor was to grate carrots for carrot cake. I am EXTREMELY DISATISFIED with this processor!!! It creates huge pieces of carrot mixed in with the shredded carrot in the bowl. And, LOTS and LOTS of chunks of carrot are left on the top of the shredder, not even making it into the bowl. I have to fish out the chunks of carrot before I can use the shredded stuff. Please tell me I'm doing something wrong. I was so excited to buy this food processor but now it just sits on the shelf.

I'm not familiar with the size of shredded hash browns. But, if it helps, the mesh is 1/8". It would be fine for regular hash browns. It's a great little basket and the hook is very handy to drain fries in between dipping. I had no trouble bending the handle to fit my GranPappy Presto deep fryer.

I don't think you could shred paper. There's nothing sharp in the grinding mechanism as there is in a paper shredder.

I do NOT think there is any way to slice potato rounds for chips with this cutter. It has multiple small blades meant for cutting shreds of vegetables.

I think it shreds cabbage very well. I use mine all the time for this purpose.

Not to my knowledge. The blade is on one side of the disc only, and so slices quickly rather than peels. Slices are quite even.

I don't know if the manufacturer offers shredder blades for the potato grater or not. The speed of the grater is not adjustable and may be too high for the shredding process. Before I discovered this grater, I thought about making my own grating blades for another food processor. I thought about cutting blades from a square metal hand grater. This is the 4 sided type with each side having a different pattern. This may be an alternative for you to try since the two blades are small and probably could be cut with a pair of tin snips. Use the original grating blades for a pattern.

Nate, I've owned this machine about 9 months now. I've put several hundred sheets through it. Some I've put straight in, in little packs, the machine ate them up. Others, I've stacked and laid them in, and closed the lit, it ate them as well. I read all the reviews too, prior to buying. I compared more $ costs to bigger and better machines, but who wants to pay $$$ big dollars just to shred junk you don't want, or need? My idea is this machine for the money it cost, does a better than average job, and doesn't jam. I think I've seen my wife feed it so much paper, hand fed, group after group for long enough to cause the machine to jam once. Once! When it did that, it backed itself up, and cleared the jam. I had her wait a little while to let it cool down. Gotta remember it's not a professional machine, but a darn good home owner's machine that does the job. There's always somebody somewhere that'll review that it's a terrible machine. Gotta expect that. But more, many more, said it was very good. Including my review. Good luck. rw

Sorry, I can't give you a thumbs up on this one since I never tried to slice ginger. You can try small pieces at a time to see how it works for you. To be perfectly honest with you, I like the Zyliss slicer product, but I wish it were a little bigger. Let me know how you make out!

the only vegetable i have ever used was potatoes, i have loosened the spiral blade and used the peeler part only to make hash brown potatoes.my brother in-law peels and slices potatoes and fries the core part along with the slices when i do pears, the firm ones work best as the more ripe tend to not hold onto the prongs, so i guess that you cant slice and peel ripe tomatoes

I do not use the shredder . I returned it because I found it very dangerous. you have to be extremely careful with it. the first time I used it the last swipe I cut half my nail off of my little finger. I have heard others ended up at the hospital due to the bleeding. don't buy it ! it should be taken off the market. don't waste your money!

I have not seen a video, however I just lock in the slicer I want (ripple, slice, shred,etc) and press the fruit or vegetable against the cone I have selected and start turning the wheel. The finished, sliced or shredded material will gather in the inside of the cone, falling out onto your plate or bowl. Very simple.

I had sliced any lemons before your question, but I did have a slightly older line in my refrigerator and thought I would try it on that. this machine continues to amaze me I love it. the to millimeter slicing blade did paper thin slices perfectly. z4 millimeter blade actually sliced in a quarter inch thick. hope this is helpful to you.

Probably. I have made scrambled eggs and bacon, but I haven't tried hash browns. I think you can cook pretty much anything.
