Can the disc grate ginger and daikon radish down to the consistency of applesauce? Need to grate bulk purchase and preserve in freezer. Thanks.

Yes, that seems a very likely use of the grater. I have not used it for that specific purpose but I cannot see it not doing just that. It does everything very well

I think your answer is no...see the answers here: http://www.amazon.com/grate-vegies-carrots-cooked-foods/forum/FxSD7QP8UHYXJR/Tx2EU4R6IDDHFDI/1/ref=cm_cd_dp_aar_al_a?_encoding=UTF8&asin;=B000I0MGKE

Yes, and it is fine. We have also taken it from the store bag, put in a glass jar, sprinkle a LITTLE water (do NOT wet the kernels) over, shake and store in the fridge - always seemed to help, just don't get it WET, just a quick sprinkling!

I decanted my package into a freezer safe container and keep it in the freezer. It has lasted a long time will no ill effects. My husband uses it on pork chops along with chipoltle powder to make grilled maple/chipoltle pork chops. Boy are they tasty!!!

can you strain the mush through a strainer & a spoon to save the oil? I have never tried walnuts. It is on my list and I plan on defrosting/drying walnut halves from freezer. good luck!

Definitely! I actually put the ginger through first while the basket is clean. I actually obtain a nice amount of ginger juice from an inch cube or so of fresh ginger root. I also juice beets & turnips. I get ALOT of juice from both. Go easy on the beets. They have a very strong flavor that will overpower the taste of your other veggies. Happy Juicing! Hope this helps.

I have made pasta with it. The noodles are kind of thick (I tried the spaghetti and fettucini nozzles) but I love homemade noodles! I have done shaved ice for snow cones too. No problems with it at all. I have not tried amy nut butters or anything with it though.

I've heard it could go rancid. I keep mine in the refrigerator just in case. I wouldn't buy it in bulk, but that's just a personal choice.

This instant pectin is not cooked. You make your jam, let it set to gel, then store it in the freezer or keep it in the refrigerator for 3 weeks. I have not tried instant pectin it in a cooked jam. I have used it for fig, blueberry, strawberry, & raspberry. The freezer jam taste just like fresh off the vine. It is the only kind I use now. I don't bother with the cooked versions. I have not made ginger marmalade but why not give it a try.

Don't know as I have never tried that. I do chop pecans all the time, even while frozen and they grind superbly. Love my food processor.

I've never tried grating carrots, but the smallest shredding blade has holes one-quarter inch wide. That's the second-largest grate size on the traditional manual four-sided grater, and makes shreds the size of regular grated cheese you can buy in bags at the store. Kitchenaid also makes a food grinder you can use to make applesauce; perhaps that would do what you need. I have one but haven't been happy with it. It needed a warranty replacement after grinding chocolate chips; it isn't very robust. Hope this helps!

i use for making applesauce. The holes in the bottom are small. I'm not sure if potato would hold rice consistency, but it might work

I belong to a CSA and a produce buying co-op, and sometimes we get things my family will not eat raw. I shred or blanch or slice and throw it in the excalibur. I love mine. I dry herbs on a low setting. I have also dried: onions (stinky while drying), chard, kale, shredded beets, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, shredded potatoes (cook first), celery, mushrooms, radishes (shred), sweet peppers, hot peppers, spinach, savoy cabbage, parsnips, lemon/lime/orange zest. I have not done garlic yet. I dry strawberries and bananas in bulk - 9 flats of strawberries and 120# of bananas in the last 2 months. I have 2 this size and a 4-tray, and they are used often. There is a great how-to site about "dehydrating to store" food. Do a search on that and you will find an amazing wealth of information.

I haven't tried the disc but as long as the material is the same and the same or similar prep before using I would think they would be fine. I can say though that the Original Brown Sugar Bear works very well at keeping your brown sugar fresh much longer. Also found it works well with raisins.

I have successfully grilled veggies in this several times. I do a single layer (with or without a small amount of water or oil) turning them over as needed until tender. If you try putting to much in at one time, you end up with the veggies sauted vs. grilled. Just did butternut squash and it was delicious.

Would not try to grind fresh ginger, ginger should be grated by hand. Dry spices work best for this type of grinder.

I have a VERY good rubber scraper...it's just a spatula but is nice and stiff with a tad of "give" to it. I find it "impossible" to get EVERYTHING out of the freezing bowl but put 97% of what I make into the freezer and have to suffer and sit and scrape out the rest and eat it....it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it! But really...just find the right scraper and do the best job you can...you should be able to get most of it out. Happy churning!
