is this good for shredding cabbage to make sauerkraut?

It only has one size to slice and that is very thin. I think I would go with a more versatile slicer. I wouldn't buy this again

As the food processor it would be chopped, but the accessory shredding attachment would actually make shredded cabbage.

Yes, unless you like enormous pieces of carrot. This will make little tiny shreds. I've only used it with parmesan but it made nice shreds of that so should do the same with carrot.

I don't know, but if you find out, please post it. I know that "whey", the watery by-product from making goat cheese can be used to make "Sauerkraut" out of cabbage, broccoli, and other vegetables! I don't have a local producer of whey, so finding out the answer to this question would be very interesting!!

The best tool for shredding cabbage is a sharp, large knife. Just cut it in half or quarters first so it sits flat. Fast and fun and you can go fine or wide as you wish.

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

I have not used it for this. However the small blade would make shredding foam or sponge difficult. It's a much better "chipper" for branches & sticks than a shredder for soft, loose & bulky material. The 'mouth' is not wide or deep like a funnel but shallow w/ a small-ish opening.

Answer by S Bryson is spot-on....the shredding blade is great for hash browns, shredded cheese, carrots etc... the slicing blade is great for fried potatoes, sliced veggies (hard ones) not so much for soft ones like tomatoes.... we use this blade for making sauerkraut..it just blasts through a ton of cabbage in short order......the dough blade is great for kneading bread or mixing the lightest scone batter....the metal blade can chop nuts by pulsing, or make nut butters by constant running.....we are very pleased with out Cuisinart. I have had three and each one was bigger than the last..AND they all still work....play with it and enjoy!!

Yes. Might work for light shredding, but not heavy duty enough for my needs.

I've use it to chop nuts and veggies. I love the way it chops my cabbage and carrots. I also use it to make my pie dough...hope this helps.

The larger shredder is perfect for cheese. That's what I used it for for the past 25 years. I just used it to mince olives, and it worked good for that too. I have never tried cabbage, but I would imagine it would work much better than and old timey shredder, or a knife.

This would depend what vegetables you are the habit of "Benrinering". If you make fermented vegetables like sauerkraut, the wide is a plus for things like cabbage, large beets, or daikon radish. I went back and forth on this issue myself and decided in favor or a slightly larger working surface. Good luck and do watch out for the blades as they are really sharp....and this is why the unit is so good.

I don't think it slices because it only had one blade. It will shred lettuce and cabbage very nicely. Check to see if you can purchase additional blades for additional slicing Otherwise, it's ,neat, fast, easy to clean, DW safe and tub is a good size.

I'm not sure. I have shredded carrots and cheese only.It will probably get the job done if you tried shredding the cabbage.M!

I've never done sauerkraut in particular but I say yes. I've slow roasted many meals with acidic bases and it has held up beautifully, plus is so easily to clean.

It will chop it into small pieces. However, it does come with a small mandolin attachment that might work. I usually quarter a cabbage and use a chef's knife to cut the cabbage in thin strips. It's pretty easy and quick.
