can I use this to chop lettuce and baby spinach

if your purchase includes the wooden bowl block along with the ulu knife, there is little that you cannot cut safely. I had such trouble with my hands that I nearly cut myself in the abdomen several times before this purchase, and since the purchase, I have absolutely no troubles with safely cutting any vegetables, or meats. Good luck with your purchase.

I use it to chop herbs, lettuce,cabbage,anything I put in salads. My sister who has arthritic hands can use her Ulu for most anything. She cannot use knives.I do take it about once a year to sharpen it, though you could do it yourself.

I think it depends on the size. With mine (8") it would be difficult to chop lettuce, baby spinach would probably work. The Ulu Bowl is rather for chopping smaller things like garlic, herbs, chilies, onions etc. And for this purpose it is the best item I ever had in my kitchen! You have to practice a little in the beginning, to get the right angle for moving the knife, but once you found out, you will never ever want to be without it.

I use it to chop nearly anything that will fit in the bowl. For lettuce and spinach you'd have to do a very small amount at a time. It would probably only be practical if you needed a small amount.

I don't see why not. You will need to do small amounts at a time. The ulu is great for chopping herbs, too.

Absolutely! it will blend, dice, cut, pulverize any veggie or leaf greens. My wife does broccoli, kale, and spinach in it all at the same time.

I wouldn't use this to chop, really. It really shines in picking up things already chopped with your chefs knife or any other knife. Cheese and other soft things can be chopped with it but this tool is basically a "picker-upper" tool.

The chopper attachment has just the one blade, it's a dual blade though. it also comes with an immersion blade that would be helpful in making baby food. You may have to use the chopper to chop the bigger items then use the immersion blade to finely puree the food.

i only use this for chopping nuts, garlic, onion, peppers, etc. however, if you need to chop food containing oil, simply pour the entire chopped food into a strainer (place a bowl underneath the strainer should you need to use the oil for other purposes...)

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.

Yes you can. I would think about any veggie. Just watch what type of surface you cut on. (wood preferably) They Will chip or brake if misused. Be careful they are very sharp.

Yes to onion, potato and carrrots. Should be OK for beetroot. Easy to clean. Only had for three months blades are still sharp. I really like it for doing the chopping that I need. Warranty is one year.

I use it only for chopping vegetables. I would avoid it for nuts as the body is plastic...

You can put salad in it, but I would chop salad on a cutting board. It is plastic.

I use it to chop vegetables for soups mostly. I have also used it to make hashbrowns out of my potatoes.

Yes. I've used it to chop broccoli, Onions, and Tomatoes. The trick is to pulse when using the chopper. Don't keep your fingers on the button as that would only act as blender and then it will all end in mush. So far so good I'm having no issues with it. I have yet to use the ice shaver but plan to soon. This is the best investment I've made this year... so far.

Definitely! I used mine to chop carrots for soup all the time. You do need to cut the carrots into about 3 inch lengths, to fit on the cutting blade (or just use baby carrots). If the carrot was really, really thick, I sometimes split it lengthwise. More so the pieces would be uniformly sized more than that the chopper couldn't handle it.

should work fine if you chop a small amount at time, like baby carrots a hand full at a time

Yes, I have used it for spinach and other greens, but they have been fresh and crisp. Don't think it would work with greens that were even a little limp.

You can pulse the unit which gives a chopped feel. If you are looking for something that evenlys chops items you might buy a chopper. I use this to make pico de gallo and it comes out great.

I made spinach juice with mine. I would think it would work just as well for any green leafy veggie.
