Will this easily chop cauliflower to small pieces?

Yes but you will have to chop the cauliflower into chunks first to fit into the processor

Yes, but the key is not to chop too much at once (1/2C) at a time, plunge the cutter sharply and don't over chop. I use this on everything including bell peppers which I have found hard to chop due to the skin. I think you will be happy with this. ty

I routinely chop garlic, ginger and shallots in the Mini Mate. It does an excellent job very quickly. I usually use the larger mini prep for parsley and basil.

I have only chopped nuts and veggies in this. I don't think the blades are sharp enough for meat, nor would the pieces be small enough IMO. Stick with a food processor.

Yes it will...not a big amount at a time....but it does such a great job......and you can get alot done quickly!....it will chop veggies coarsely or fine...

I chop raw potatoes that are about 1/4 inch thick so I would think so if the carrot were sliced in half lengthwise first though I have not tried.

Baby Carrots chop/mince beautifully in this, I'd imagine Celery, after you cut it into 1 or 2 inch pieces would chop/mince perfectly as well. Enjoy!!!

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!

Yes. If you cut the cabbage into quarters first, it should work well. I found that the holder isn't very helpful with some vegetables, though. Just watch your fingers. The blade is very sharp. It's ceramic, but it looks like plastic. So, its appearance is deceiving.

I'm not a huge cook. I bought the slicer to make curley veggies for my Raw diet. So far it was very easy to use all settings (not sure how precise it is to 1/8"). I definately would recommend.

I made cauliflower 'rice' with the shredding blade before and it worked great.

If you dont mind small chopped veges, it would work. If you need bigger pieces, I would get something else.

I have found that you have to cut onions into small pieces in order to get them to chop easily. I haven't chopped parsley, although I have chopped cilantro along with the onions and it did the job easily. The only other things I have chopped so far are tomatoes and jalapeno peppers for salsa. I had to cut the tomatoes into small pieces to make the chopping easier, especially if I want to chop the onions, cilantro, tomatoes and jalapeno peppers all at the same time. So far I have not tried to chop any other kinds of veggies in this machine.

You probably could. It does not have a smooth surface, but no problem chopping on it.

I've done oranges and pineapples and you just have to cut into smaller pieces. It works fine.

I just used it to chop ham to make ham salad, and it worked well. I cut ham in 1" pieces, put about 6 in chopper, and twisted on chopper lid 3-4 times, and it was perfect.

It will do a coarse chop unless you add liquid or oil. But you should know that the blade has a magnetic pin in the base that sometimes falls into the dish where you pour the chopped or puréed food. I made tomato sauce and one of my guests found it in her plate.i hadn't washed the unit immediately after use so I didn't know that the pin had become dislodged. Other mini choppers aren't made like this.
