Yes! I have fried zucchini, to try it out, and it was fabulous! This is definitely worthy product, I am glad I chose this one, diamond in the rough. The recipes include crispy coating, beer batter, milk batter, quesadilla crispers, apple pie fritter, and jalapeno kickers. I have not tried them all, but I plan to. I use it mostly for French fries and it also takes a little less than 48 oz of cooking oil. Good luck, I don't think you will regret it.

It reaches the correct temperature for frying veggies. I used a tempura batter before frying and they were delicious. Good luck. The only problem I had with this equipment is it didn't last very long. When it worked it worked well.

I have only used this for in the oven dishes and on top of the stove dishes. Have not used it for deep frying, not sure I would. I have used it to brown onion, and meat. Hope this helps.

I would use something thick... we have tried different batters for different things.. veggies, etc... the key to this fryer is to not try to put to much in at a time. It's not a deep fryer that can put out a lot in short order.. it does a great job over time. We kind of use it like an appetizer fryer... a couple of things at a time..

i haven't cooked rice in it as yet, i wanted it mainly for steaming veggies & it works out quite well for that, i'm a lover of brussel sprouts & love to season them & steam them, as my husband isn't a 'veggie' person, this item works out well for my side items, i'll have to give the rice a try next ! maybe someone else has done rice & can help ?

I have not done those veggies yet but I am amazed it cuts and liquifies unpeeled apple pieces and pineapple chunks. I'm going to the grocery today and get some veggies to try it but I have no expectations it will not work. QVC had or has a great buy on another version of the brand and product. You might check it out...but I just love my Ninja so far.Just got back from grocery and made a veggie smoothy. Diced peppers, celery hearts, cilantro, kale, spinach and 1/2 banana (necessary) 1/2 large tomato. Perfect. Pulverized and made into a smoothy depending on how much water you put in it. I used about 1/2 c because of the tomato. (one floret of Broccoli. I hear go lite on Broccoli additions) I have not done those veggies yet but I am amazed it cuts and liquifies unpeeled apple pieces and pineapple chunks.

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.

Dude, sorry for that. I haven't cooked once, just soaked in water for one night and it started to rust. It's an awful awful wok, I have returned it.

I think this chopper is great. As far as semi-hard veggies, if you mean like broccoli I'm sure it would do a good job on that. If we're talking big hunks of raw carrots, I'm not so sure. Mostly I've used the chopper for a salad with lettuce, chicken, olives, bacon, cheese, tomatoes, celery, onions, etc. and it works magic.

Hi! I just purchased this "chopper" to primarily make my own baby food for my 8 month old. Most reviews said it would puree soft foods so I figured I would give it a try dispite the post left here. I haven't actually tried it yet so my actual review will come later, but I did want to quickly correct the error given by Chris. In reading the instructions, (always a good thing to do! =) ) it actually has tips on using this "chopper" for making homemade pureed babyfood!!! It says it can process cooked meat/poultry, cooked veggies, & cooked or raw fruits!! It says to add a little gravy,milk, or broth to make the consistancy you need/want. So sounds like it will do just fine for making baby food! I Will write a complete user review once I actually use it.

I haven't but don't think I would try it. I would get a deep fry/candy thermometer to be safe. Neil

I have successfully grilled veggies in this several times. I do a single layer (with or without a small amount of water or oil) turning them over as needed until tender. If you try putting to much in at one time, you end up with the veggies sauted vs. grilled. Just did butternut squash and it was delicious.

I tried sweet potatoes and it won't cut them. They are too hard. Big disappointment since I was really wanting sweet potato fries. Someone suggested I microwave them a bit first before trying to cut them. Haven't tried it. Regular potatoes work ok.

I am new to the deep frying thing, so could you recommend the "right" oil? Thanks!

It's fine no worse than frying something in a pan . It's a real nice deep fryer we love it !!

Video on Westinghouse website shows it sauteing. So it fries, but absolutely no mention of deep frying.

I can't imagine why not. I was using Dr Harveys veg to bowl food and adding oil as directed to complete the nutritional balance he recommended. I will say I called the company, and they were totally helpful. I even got to speak with Dr. Harvey, he was full of additional informatiom I didn't even know I needed!

I haven't done it, but don't see why you couldn't. I''ve done different vegetables before.Think you would probably enjoy the Oster. I use mine a lot!Hope this helps.
