I have not done that yet BUT EVERYTHING I did for our Thanksgiving turned out great. The Food Processor part was GREAT. Sorry I could not answer your question but hope I helped.

I've grated various vegies for for use in breads and cakes. I think it works fine for that, but I prefer the fine grater that you have to buy separately.

Nothing it won't cut. Carrots are easy. The blade is sharp enough to slice the tough skin on peppers. It works well for chopping salads and hard boiled eggs. You will be pleased. Much better choice than the duplex blade cutters.

I have only used it for celery and it is amazing! Check the individual instructions for different vegetables.

The grates are sharp enough to grate garlic or ginger. They are not as pointed as some I've seen at pottery shops. The photo is exactly as they appear, same color, everything. My only objection was that it was on a card in a plastic sealed hang-up display. I took mine out so I could wrap them as gifts.Marie T.

I put baby carrots in on their sides. If I have a single carrot I don't have to press too much, but if I have more I make sure the hinges are lined up and then carefully hit the lid down and they chop immediately. I've had it for years and it has held up through the abuse. Love this thing!

It depends on how fine you what things minced. I only have experience with potatoes, and the larger grate works great.

Yes! It does a good job of grating cheddar cheese. Just tested it and I give it thumbs up. Haven't tried any other cheeses.

Yes you can slice carrots. Strongly reccommend using the food pusher to do so as you do have to use a little extra effort. Longer slices work better than the little rounds. Shredding is not an option, but you can use the small julienne blades on the long slices & it is almost the same, you end up with matchsticks instead of shreds. Hope this helps...

Hey, Shirley. I haven't used it for carrots, but judging by how it take whole apples I'd say that carrots would do just fine.

I'm afraid I don't know because I'm so inexperienced with graters. My own experience grating carrots with this was so bad that I never used it again, but I was told later by someone that I used it wrong. It did grate the carrot but what I got was like mash that stuck to the outer sides of the grater and I couldn't get it off. Later someone told me that the grated stuff is supposed to fall off on the inside.

I have had mine for almost a year. I use it every day on multiple kinds of veg. It works very well for most vegetables (I have never tried with asparagus), although I find that unless enough water is used, celery, apples, and carrots can be quite gritty. It may be slightly louder than my blender, but it works fast, so you don't have to listen to the horrible noise for as long :)

Yes, it is very easy to use...it is almost the same dimension as a regular peeler, although the handle is slightly thinner than the one have. I love the zuchinni and squash this way. I haven't tried carrots yet.

I haven't tried carrots yet with it. it shreds potatoes and cheese nicely. It can slice sticks of pepperoni but not very well you have to push pretty hard. I think it would shred carrots nicely. It works great and I love that you can store stuff after you shred it.

I've never tried to dice carrots, but it does a great job with onions and chicken. Small and easy to clean as well.

I have. When I did it I cut the carrot length wise so it wasn't too thick. It can help push softer things through.
