Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 We have a Zyliss mandolin-style shredder that has several sizes and widths of cutting blades. It shreds and/or slices vegetables very quickly and easily for just about any purpose. I'm always experimenting with kraut ingredients-- carrots, onion, bits of citrus pulp or apple, tiny cocktail onions, whole garlic wedges, etc. The blades are very sharp, but it's safe as long as you use the safety attachment for holding whatever you're shredding to protect your fingers. I've noticed that using a food processor works OK if you like very finely chopped cabbage, but you have to babysit it all the time because cabbage doesn't process very easily. I would always poke at the cabbage to get the blades to catch it enough that it could process on its own-- no such luck! Maybe I did it wrong, but I gave up on it and have been using the shredder ever since. ~Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 I do cole slaw with my salad shooter -- you can purchase the large size model at Fleet Farm. It comes out in sliced and then I run it through again for the cole slaw.

That's about the only places you can find the good/old ones anymore. Sometimes they have them at antique/consignment shops too.
