Troubleshooting MFP Carrot Processing: Advice for Customers

[EmilyStraw]

Does the MFP do carrots? I have one customer whose is not, any suggestions?

I just used it last night . I did cut them into chunks first and then processed them smaller along with celery and onions. Worked fine.

I have done baby carrots in with some other stuff and it worked fine for me.

I use it for carrots all the time... it helps to cut it up a bit first, otherwise, you are pumping alot and it leaves bigger chunks uncut.

I have not had very good luck with minde doing carrots..I even cut them up first and they seem to just get stuck on the blades....but I think my blades are dulling out quickly..anyone else having problems with their blades dullng?

I believe a lot has to do with how fast you "pump"....if you just pump gently, you are just stirring around the contents.

I tried and tried to do carrots, they will work eventually, but I think the food chopper is the better tool for that job.

This is one of the biggest things with the food chopper - you have to keep pumping and don't stop!! Things will get stuck and won't chop if you stop and go. Just pump, pump, pump, pump, pump until you are ready to check it. That and don't fill it too full!
