Instructions

  • Thin Flat Slices
    Use the Uten V-blade Vegetable Slicer to get even, thin, and flat slices. These slices are great for sandwiches, juicing, filling, and snacks.
  • Rondelles (Round)
    Hold the carrot upright or vertically as you glide it on the slicer. This technique is perfect for stuffing, salad, soup, puree, sandwich, filling, and stir fry.
  • Diagonal
    Position the carrot in a slanting grip and push it against the slicer to get diagonal slices. Use the slices for stuffing, salad, juicing, puree, soup, stir-fry, sandwich, filling, and snacks.
  • Batonnet (Long Strips).
    Replace the blade of the slicer with the one with several spikes on the edge. Run the carrot through the blade to get thin strips. These are best for stir-frying, stuffing, salad, snacks, puree, juicing, filling, and sandwiches.
  • Brunoise (Small Dice)
    You can easily achieve brunoise by using the batonnet or long strips on a chopping board and slicing them into small cubes with a knife. Use these for stir-frying, baking, pureeing, salads, and more.
  • Short Julienne (Matchstick)
    Use the batonnet attachment of the slicer to get strips. Then, place the slices on a chopping board and slice them in half to get short julienne cuts. Utilize short julienne slices for salads, stuffing, fries, main dishes, juicing, etc.
  • Thin Batonnet
    Replace the slicing attachment with the slicer with numerous small blades. Run the carrot on the slicer to get thin batonnet strips. Use them for juicing, smoothies, chips, stuffing, sauteing, fries, and other dishes.
  • Spiralized
    Use a vegetable spiralizer slicer to get long and curly carrot strips. These will be great for stir-frying, salad, stuffing, filling, and baking. You can also make pasta-like dishes with carrots for kids to enjoy.
  • Curls or Rings
    Pierce the carrot with a fork for a safe grip. Cut the vegetable into curls or rings using a peeler. These slices work well for stir-frying, stuffing, salad, baking, garnishing, toppings, and filling.
  • Large Grated Carrots
    Run the carrot on the larger holes of the grater. Use these for stir-fry, stuffing, garnishing, toppings, fillings, salad, and baking.
  • Finely Grated Carrots
    Grate the carrot on the grater's small holes for finely grated carrots. These will make perfect ingredients for pastries, baby food, salads, sandwiches, soup, and more.
  • Fine Julienne
    Use the pro smart slicer to get fine julienne. These slices will make great stuffing, glazed carrots, fries, juicing, and other dishes and drinks.
