I sliced about ten carrots for soup and suffered for my efforts. I need something to shop with or pass the job on to Tommy. Good information about the chopper.

And my vehicle depending on what it is.<br />Canned carrots are ok, but I slice mine up on a mandolin, which also goes very fast, then dehydrate. Dehydrated carrots take up a lot less space and I like them better in stir fries and such. I do like canned carrots and veggies in soup because it doesn't take long for it to make since they're precooked. But dehydrated foods have less cleanup. I like to keep quart jars of carrots, celery, onions, broccoli and zucchini and just shake out whatever is needed for a dish. Jars don't need washing nearly as often as canned.<br />My lab used to love an occasional carrot to gnaw on and it never stopped her up.<br />Now to Google "Luddite".

It's non electric, you just pull the handle the way you would start a push mower.

There's a kitchen gadget commonly sold at swap meets and county fairs. It's got a chopping blade, a slicing blade, and a shredding blade. It has a clear container with a hand crank on the lid. It costs about $25.00. Frankly, it looks like cheap, Chinese ...um... ...er... excrement... BUT... My wife and I saw a guy demonstrating the thing at a flea market. I skeptically watched the guy work the thing. No tricks. No slight of hand. My wife was sold. Frankly, I was too, and I don't even cook. My pocket was emptied accordingly. We haven't used it as a shredder or slicer yet, but I'm here to testify that if you need a TRUE TIMESAVER for CHOPPING, look no further than one of these gizmos! 'Chopping up onions, Jalapenos, or whatever? This thing will do it in SECONDS! Even if that's all you use it for, it's WORTH THE MONEY! Oh; and it's SUPER EASY TO CLEAN! How long it will last is anybody's guess, but there's not a lot to go wrong with it. Keep your eyes out for one of these, folks. It's truly a WINNER!Peteforesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00702888855868877243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-48360713370534273532022-01-31T18:21:41.449-08:002022-01-31T18:21:41.449-08:00Canned carrots, even dry packed, aren't my fav...Canned carrots, even dry packed, aren't my favorite for texture. I just pulled all mine from hay/snow covered garden plot and dry pack canned them whole (peeled, topped, end cut off). OK for adding to soups, stews or for the dogs. S.Lynnnoreply@blogger.com
