I'm not sure what to do with 5lbs of carrot and beet "mash" that's left over once I'm done. Any ideas?

Use it in carrot bread or carrot cake. Same with the beets if you can find a recipe for a bread or cake using beets. Might need to add a little juice too.

eat it....because the juice you're drinking is mostly sugar without that fiber and you might as well be drinking soda pop. buy a vitamix instead.

Some people say to use for baking, maybe freeze . However, hesitantly ,eventually threw it away.

Once I got creative and made muffins with the left over "mash" thumbs down turned out gross! Honestly of you have a garden it ends up making great soil. Years ago i used to compost. Once i used the pulp for smoothies. Depending on what you juiced it's amazing!

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 have had luck w thicker carrots, peel them then boil them for a bit. once they are a bit more pliable try again.

Thanks! The previous answer from someone thought I meant the package but I meant the container once your vegetables are chopped. Thank you again!

How about storing it in the freezer after you empty it? might get brittle though...

Yeah, that is a lot to have left over. I didn't follow the directions since I read on here beforehand that the measurements were off. I usually use 3 cups of milk and about 1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp of starter and that's it. I don't use the dry milk powder.

There are a variety of containers. The containers were excellent for leftovers from Thanksgiving. Each container was filled with a different item - turkey, mashed potato, cranberry sauce, etc.

I have put 10 lbs. of potatoes in one bin (with a few potatoes left over from before) which fits nicely and probably 5lbs. of onions in the other one and that would hold quite a bit more.

Baby Carrots chop/mince beautifully in this, I'd imagine Celery, after you cut it into 1 or 2 inch pieces would chop/mince perfectly as well. Enjoy!!!

Maybe use more water? I use mine daily. I steam 6 oz of just about any veggie for 3 minutes and they are perfect. Carrots might take a bit more.

You can add a little bit of water and stir to thin it back out. However, if it has turned solid, you will probably just have to toss it.

Carrots were no problem, but I wouldn't go beyond. Actually, I wouldn't bother buying at all. I broke mine on a butternut squash rendering it useless.

Put back everything you removed,or go to Char-Broil for conversion info. it's easy good luck.

Yes, it has to go somewhere..just chop it up and use in the rest of your recipe..or save that and the top that you can't shred for soup

I pack the unused portion in a gallon sized bag, covered in Kosher salt. I keep them double bagged in the fridge (meat drawer), and I can get a year out of them.

You would first have to shape the beet to fit into the tube -- carving it into a tube, like a zucchini or carrot. I think it would be pretty as a garnish but maybe a lot of work for more than that.

Hi, I like using carrots, onions and celery that I saute in olive oil for a few minutes until they start to soften. I then add about 8 cups of stock and 1 cup of the soup mix. When it get near the end of the cooking time (the soup mix is fairly soft) I'll add either some shredded cooked chicken or little mini meatballs. I sometimes will add a diced potato as well. I like to use Italian seasonings in the soup.
