Does this spiralizer work with big vegetables?

Yes it can work very well with big and long vegetables. there's no container holding the vegs and it actually works better if the veg is thicker.

I just tried it on some baby carrots and it worked. It dices it into small pieces. I have not tried it on other root vegetables.

It does not appear to git out bowls. I have been very unsatisfied with the product makes a mess and waists food. I have tried zucchini, squash carrots and sweet potatoes with little luck. White potatoes do ok on wide slices.

yes it does, but it only works well if you use the mandolin on horizontal position on a bowl. Vertical is no good. Better to use a fork in the vegetable. This works for me.

Other than pasta, I have only used it for cooking quinoa--which came out fine. I haven't tried for vegetables although assume would work fine as this pasta cooker seems to me a sturdy, but fairly generic microwave cooking tool. The main uniqueness, I think, is the lid which helps keep starchy things from boiling over.

For carrots it works, since they have not as large a diameter as sweet potatoes. I have used this a couple of times for carrots and cucumber. For sweet potatoes I would think it takes a huge effort of force - so you have to be very strong - and they might get mashed. But I have not tried this.

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

I haven't tried it. I mainly use carrots zucchini and potatoes. I love zucchini pasta. I've seen others that are bulky do a little better job but I just don't have space for them. I also have a mandolin which I use for cabbage.

It is only about 2 1/4 " wide so would probably not work for slicing big vegetables.

The safety handle is as wide as the mandoline. The prongs to hold vegetables or whatever you are going to grate or slice have approximately 3/4 in space between them and will hold something that small. It's possible it would hold a large radish but I'm not sure about a baby carrot. I love this mandoline.

Yes. This would work to hold average sized vegetables like tomates, potatoes, onions and the like.

yes, I use it for carrots, cucumber, zuchinni--just about all vegetables. It woorks great. I am very pleased with its performance.

Haven't really tried that yet! It's not an easy utensil to use. They don't make perfect spirals. Had issues with the vegetable shredding into short pieces.

If you dont mind small chopped veges, it would work. If you need bigger pieces, I would get something else.

No, I dont believe it would work for that. I use it to cut fondant for cakes and it works wonderful. I dont believe that you would have any luck trying to use it on vegetables.

Yes it does, much easier than large bulky mixers. You will love it. Just don't bog it down.

I don't know. Depends on the vegetable I would say. I haven't used it very much.
