will it help to chop veggies like onions, carrots etc into small pieces, not into a pasty form?

Hi. Truthfully I have never used this product as a veggie chopper, but only for the use of chopping the salad. I generally use things like pre-sliced carrots myself. I would use a processor to chop whole carrots etc. rather than this item. It works very well if you use it for the 'salad' chopping as it is intended. If you wanted to, you could run the blades over a celery stalk to slice, but I would hesitate to use it with 'hard' veggies.I love the product myself, and if you like chopped salads - you will too.

it's really meant to be a basic slicer. I guess you could lay a carrot or small potato "sideways" and make slices and then cut them into julienne pieces, but that may be a more advanced cut. However, if you only want thin 'shreds' and the shape isn't important, it could certainly do that on the thinnest setting.

I have chopped cabbage in mine. You can't fill it very full, so you'll have to do the process several times.But this little baby can chop--fine or coarse. I love it.

So far we have used it to chop pecans (the ones that come bagged already shelled). The longer you keep the machine running, the smaller the pieces are that are chopped up. We use the chopped pecans in banana bread. It works great to puree onions without the tears to make salsa, etc. Like I said before, if the machine stops because it is jammed, make SURE that you unplug the unit before getting your finger near the blade. The blade is very sharp!!! Better to be safe!!!

I have only used the small baby carrots. Yes, I would not put an entire carrot in, I would cut them up in 1 inch pieces. I love this chopper.

I have used mine to cut 'paper' thin for meats. I have not tried vegetables yet.

Yes. It's the handiest little gadget. I cut onions into big chunks and pulse them till they're just right, then freeze them. Always have chopped onions on hand. Same for carrots and similar veggies. Haven't tried kale yet.

This is a great chopper for uncooked veggies. Do bear in mind that it chops these foods into small chunks and the more times you pull the string the finer the chunks become. If you are wanting a shred or thin slices like for scalloped potatoes, etc., this is not the right machine. But if you're looking for "chopped", this is the one.

Hi April, it's a good machine for basic chopping and some blending, some vegetables do need to be chopped into smaller pieces in advance of going in, overall, a pretty good unit for the money, hope that helps!

I don't recall chopping celery or bell peppers! But I think it would work great!

I haven't chopped lettuce; however, it's too small to do lettuce. This chopper is great, but meant for smaller foods. For instance, it will chop one clove of garlic or a cup of carrots. It's even useful for chopping foods for the baby.

Can not answer that. Only done onions and tomatoes and it works excellent with those 2 products. I do imagine it will chop those as well. Sorry

Yes you can it does a good job with Potatoes Carrots Onion if you cut it in half first, hope that helps�I have just reread this, I did not mention tha I cut potatoes into for or five rings before chopping it only takes a couple of minutes depending on their size also Carrots if they are large I cut them about 4 times and medium onions in half.

I haven't tried chopping any of those items, but I would guess it would work just fine. The blades are quite sharp and I've had no problems chopping large chunks of onion with mine.

I have only used it for carrots but I imagine zucchini or small cucumbers might work. For the results you get with the carrots alone, it is well worth the price.

I have not used the chopper for meats, but assuming a fairly tender meat, such as cooked chicken or ham, I would think it will do it satisfactorily. One might start with pre-diced cubes of 1" or less and fill only one-half to two-thirds full for best results, but that may not be necessary....I would think any bones would be a problem - bones such as those in turkey or chicken brest.
