Since these are plastic, do they really work well with hard vegetables?

They are plastic and they don't works well with uncooked vegetable like carrots, butternut squash, potatoes ... But they works well when they are cooked. You have to spray vegetable cutter with PAM or any other cooking spray before use it if you don't want your vegetables stick on it!.

They work really well because their edges are sharp. However, I do suggest cutting the hard vegetables into a thickness that is no greater than 1/4 inch.

The plastic is fairly sturdy, That being said, I slice the veggies into thin slices before I cut them. I suppose you could lightly steam the veggies first, then cut them. Hope that helps.

Yes they work wonderfully! I just put up 2 bushels of corn using these bags and my Foodsaver unit. No failures either! :)

Yes they can. Will make it more like finely shredded lettuce. I use them for almost all my veggies..

Yes. I used it for carrot, potato, mushrooms. Carrot will be a little difficult because it is more stiff so need more forces.

I use mine for lettuce all the time and it does seem to keep better. I do believe that they are all ceramic.

Yes they work VERY if whole carrots cut in half... also works well for kale...one trick, do not wash the produce until ready to use keeps much longer! hope that helps

Obviously, not like plastic. They do fine for sandwiches if I pack the night before and put in the refrigerator in my lunch sack. They are great for the pairs of cookies that I freeze for lunches. (I store bags of cookies in a Tupperware-like container in the freezer.) They're great for gorp... I hope that helps.

Yes it can work well with firm vegetables like carrots, zucchinis, turnips, rutabagas, cucumbers, large radishes and more...

yes, they are very heavy duty and hard plastic and should hold it just fine

They're thicker than regular plastic baggies, but kind of the same concept, I'd say that they are, as long as you don't put anything messy in them, my kale has lasted so long in them it's pretty great.

yes and they do outclass a plastic pot by far . Buy the ones with handles , if you plan to move them often.

I'm sorry to say that I've never tried them with lettuce. I use them for apples, oranges, melons, and grapes with great success - never bananas or cucumbers. I have a lettuce keeper that works great and usually get bagged lettuce so it's never been an issue.

Work great with a seal a meal.we use them to put up vegetables all summer long.

I believe they are more for vegetables to keep them from falling through the grates.

I think this chopper is great. As far as semi-hard veggies, if you mean like broccoli I'm sure it would do a good job on that. If we're talking big hunks of raw carrots, I'm not so sure. Mostly I've used the chopper for a salad with lettuce, chicken, olives, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, celery, onions, etc. and it works magic.
