Does it grate carrots with a fine texture?

Yes, I've never had a problem grating raw carrots, but it doesn't grate so much as finely shred them. I use the finest shredding drum for coleslaw, and the coarser one for carrot cake. I've had this attachment for more than twenty years.

I've never tried grating carrots, but the smallest shredding blade has holes one-quarter inch wide. That's the second-largest grate size on the traditional manual four-sided grater, and makes shreds the size of regular grated cheese you can buy in bags at the store. Kitchenaid also makes a food grinder you can use to make applesauce; perhaps that would do what you need. I have one but haven't been happy with it. It needed a warranty replacement after grinding chocolate chips; it isn't very robust. Hope this helps!

I grated baby RAW carrots and got a course grate. . .but that was ok for the carrot cake I made. Not everyone liked it that course but It depends on what you are looking for. Easy to use though!

i think so, i know it can grate hard cheeses. I have only tried onions, celery, apples, bell peppers so far

Yes, it's very sturdy. I have found that it's easier for me to use on softer veggies like cucumbers and zucchini (it doesn't smash them) but it also works really well on carrots. I really like it. It helped me get through all of the zucchini from our garden this year!

Hey, Shirley. I haven't used it for carrots, but judging by how it take whole apples I'd say that carrots would do just fine.

No it does not smell like carrots. It smells like rutabaga with a bit of those special candles that keep Mosquitos away during family cook outs.

Hi, I've used it for other vegies like carrots, cucumbers, peppers, anything you would grate.

Carrots were no problem, but I wouldn't go beyond. Actually, I wouldn't bother buying at all. I broke mine on a butternut squash rendering it useless.

I would try it, Laurel. I needed something to grate my carrots more finely for my cole slaw and this has been a terrific solution.

The cermaic grates are not sharp to the touch...you can run your finger across and not get a scratch. However, it quickly fine grates a garlic clove, or ginger piece in no time flat. My plate had a flower on the side and royal blue tube.

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.

No. Use a coarser grater for a potato. This is very fine and good for tasks like zesting lemon and orange peel, and grating ginger.

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?!!

I guess it can. But the carrots must be short and fat. I wouldn't use it for that. We peeled potatoes and apples. It works great for apples.

I never used it for carrots, but the blades seem sharp enough to handle it.

This will puree foods very finely. It has three levels of mesh. When I make potatoes with it they are very smooth. It will also leave any peel in the container, it won't go through the mesh. Hope that helps!

I have grated carrots and raw vegetables with it. You just can't be in a rush. I didn't like the way it grated the cheese either. I would not necessarily purchase it again if it broke....

My unit is not as smooth on the outside as on the inside. It won't grate vegetables or eat up sponges without a great deal of effort, but it will damage nail polish if you aren't careful. It would be nice if it were made completely smooth on the outside, but until that happens I will continue using it because it works better than any other colander I have ever used.
