Do you have to fully load the shoot for it to work., i.e., can you just slice one or two carrots at a time?

I usually cut the carrot in half in order to get it into the shooter. I ran 2 carrots just the other day and it worked well. I also ran a small amount of green pepper okay.

I have not tried to cut carrots, but it works with potatoes so I would think it would work with the carrots.

NO..small amounts work just fine. One thing is how hard you push the 'squisher' from the top, which moves the food from the top down to the grater or slicer. The lighter the pressure the finer your food will slice or grate. The harder you press will create a thicker slice or heaver grate. Cool?!!

Yes Emily, you can do one carrot at a time. I purchased it for making zucchini bread.

The bullet puller I bought works without any connection to a loading press and dies. You simply fasten the loaded cartridge into the tool and tighten down the end piece then strike a hard surface as you would a hammer. It's slow but works well.

Short answer is no. It is not designed to do one at a time. If you do 10 or 15 then the extra cut off should only be on the first one.

I put baby carrots in on their sides. If I have a single carrot I don't have to press too much, but if I have more I make sure the hinges are lined up and then carefully hit the lid down and they chop immediately. I've had it for years and it has held up through the abuse. Love this thing!

I think the trick is you have to turn the handle in both directions back and forth no matter what you use in it. You should be able to use one potato at a time. I have never had a problem with quantity when using mine. I have used it for cactus apples for the juice and at times put one in and mushed it fine. I have used it with tomato's and different foods. Hope this helps, just grab the handle and work it in both directions.

Shirley,I have not tried it with carrots but it has done a great job with apples, pineapples, strawberries, Kale and other veggies I have used. I love it.

I haven't used it for carrots as yet...only coconuts but it grates them really really fine...so carrots will be a breeze......there are only two attachments though...I recommend that immediately after every use u take the attachment of and clean it...otherwise than that it is an excellent product

That is true! The same happened to me twice so I stopped using it as a slicer. Such a shame cause it was great. Cusinart replaced it both times but I stopped slicingever since :( happy to know it's not just me :)

That makes me ask how you get it to shoot more than one at a time... Mine only does one.

You cannot slice two vegetables at the same time. As you are slicing your vegetable the 'core' of it is rotating down through the bottom half of the slicer.

Yes, you load one tie at a time. Actually, you put the tie in place and then put the end in the tool and squeeze. Works great!

You can shoot shots pretty quick, but then the camera takes a few seconds to catch up. I usually use a burst of several and it recovers by the time I am ready to shoot again.

NO, I bought one and I am very disappointed. It is very hard to cut through raw potatoes and carrots. Very dissatisfied.

I have used the salad shooter to shred carrots for carrot cakes for years. I usually put the carrots through twice to get an extra fine shredding.

I have. When I did it I cut the carrot length wise so it wasn't too thick. It can help push softer things through.

Yup, all u do is twist the barrel and it switches between both loading options. Only thing is if u are in Magazine fed, make sure the mag is empty before u switch to hopper or it will probably jam. Very easy to use system though.

The carrots would be fine enough for me for a carrot cake. And soooo easy! This is the only way to go when it comes to shredding carrots!
