Can You Use a Salad Chopper for Carrots? Find Out Here!

[kam]

I feel silly even asking this...

I use my Salad choppers for lots of stuff, but never celery or carrots.

With the Veggie Slicer not being available I have someone who is questioning using the Salad Chopper for carrots (and celery). (They originally wanted the Veggie Slicer.)

Is the Salad Chopper strong enough for carrots?

To be honest, I thought the Veggie Slicer was really hard to use to get through carrots. I tested it when I first got it just to see how it would work and determined I would continue to use my Food Processor for carrots. I honestly forgot about the Salad Chopper.

THANKS!!!

I think the one time I used the salad chopper for carrots it was at a show. A guest wanted to know if it would work on carrots. I stuck a carrot in there, sliced and sent half a carrot flying through the room, landing behind the sofa. So yes, it chops through carrots You definitely have to use muscles to slice carrots with the salad chopper. I don't like the veggie slicer and have only used it for celery so can't compare to carrots.

I just saw on the back order status that the back ordered veggie slicers will ship to arrive before Xmas. Maybe it will come off of stop sell by Jan. 1.

Ihave used the salad chopper on carrots, when i put all of the salad fixins in the bowl then "choppy choppy". They were baby carrots, but i think it worked better than using the veggie slicer. Hated THAT thing.

I have & still use almost daily & at shows my salad chopper. I have sold over 200 of them. I have used carrots,celery,potatoes,onions,chicken,turkey,tomatoes,olives etc....just make sure you use the batter bowl or another deep bowl when cutting certain veggies. One of my all time favorite products!

Hi there! Don't feel silly at all for asking this question. It's always good to clarify and make sure you're using your tools correctly. The Salad Chopper is actually a great tool for chopping carrots and celery. It is strong enough to handle these vegetables and will give you a nice, even chop. I personally use it for all my vegetable chopping needs and have never had any issues with it. I'm glad you remembered about the Salad Chopper and I'm sure it will work great for you as well. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Happy cooking!
