Is it the best disc for making carrot cake

Yes, unless you like enormous pieces of carrot. This will make little tiny shreds. I've only used it with parmesan but it made nice shreds of that so should do the same with carrot.

I would try it, Laurel. I needed something to grate my carrots more finely for my cole slaw and this has been a terrific solution.

I haven't tried carrot cake, but I have shredded zucchini with it. It is just the right size; small shred, not mushy. I think it would work wonderfully, in fact you've given me a good idea to try it!

I own the Cuisinart 14 cup DFP-14 food processor. The DLC-DH Disc Holder is what I purchased to store the cutting discs. It holds those discs perfectly - and safely! Here is a link to the food processor I purchased so you can see if it looks similar to yours.Cuisinart DFP-14BCN 14-Cup Food Processor, Brushed Stainless Steel DISCONTINUED BY MANUFACTURER

There is a stem that connects into the fitting on the disc and at the other end mates with the spinning part of the food processor. The stem typically is part of the food processor kit if it came with standard shredding/slicing disc. This stem is removable to allow changing discs.

Yes. It has several different grater plates to do almost any style you would wnat. Just know that carrots and suger have a high sugar content so use sparingly if anyone has a high blood sugar problem.

Yes just yesterday I did a cup cake batter with carrots I just had to flip the dispenser upside down and spray it with water to make sure no carrots are stuck at the end , also soak it in water for five minutes before you start washing it

I guess it depends on how fine you want. with the fine disk, I would think it would be like marzipan or a little coarser.I use it to grind potatoes for potato pancakes/latkes and to make strawberry jam (with a little texture left - not puree like from a blender). It has a coarser disk as well (about 50% bigger holes) to that would make a grind. Think about how you could use this to make sausage - there is coarse sausage like coarse Italian sausage (big disk), fine sausage like breakfast link sausage (small disk), and super fine (like hot dogs - which this doesn't really do).

The stem will work on the DLC7 discs of course, but it will probably not work on newer models. If you have trouble disengaging the stem from the disc, just apply alittle cooking oil to the stem before attaching to the disc.

You will have to buy a thicker slice disk. There is a medium slice disk and a thick slice disk. Amazon sells these also.

I used the disc (came without instructions) for the purpose it was intended with absolutely no results it was a total waste of money. I guess the answer is no, I have no answers that would help you.

This is the maximum speed you can burn your disc. These are great discs!!!!

No, N....its a large hole shredding blade.They sell a fine shredding blade but it'll cost an arm & a leg,I think I spent almost $60 on one for my 14 cup model...just so I could make carrot cakes.And btw....it tends to get clogged, so it wasn't really worth it.Rather than dirty & have to wash all those parts of the FP I just drag out the old manual fine shredder & take 2 minutes & a little elbow grease to do the job.

The disc is hard plastic. You can wipe off any debris and disinfect it easily. On top of this, you'll likely kill a lot of germs just microwaving it.

I haven't tried anything other than edible oblate discs. It's an inexpensive machine, so perhaps buy it and try it out. I'm interested in your final product, as well. What are you making?

I have an older Cuisinart DLC-5 TX food processor that works with 6" diameter discs. The 1mm disc I received a while back measured about 7 1/8" in diameter. It does not fit in my machine. To get the correct size of disc in the future, I'll go either 1.) by the disc's diameter measurement, if possible; or, alternatively, 2.) by the cup capacity of the bowl. Hope this helps.

I asked my wife who is better at cakes than I am. She assured me that it will chop carrots fine enough to use them in a cake. One of her primary uses for this tool is to chop carrots.

Mine came with a fine and a coarse cutting disc. We used the fine disc for grinding Angus beef and it worked perfectly. since I cut the pieces to easily fit the opening, no ramming was necessary and the results were great without having to grind things twice. Also ran some dried bread through for clean up and a tooth brush to clean the disc.
