I read another review on a different product-it said don't use with high sugar content, carrots-anything like that in the instructions here?

Instructions say cook anything you want. I cook carrots all the time. This is one of the best products I have. I want a bigger one.

I have steamed broccoli green beans carrots and many more items in the Mastrad steamer. A little more but well worth it

I've used this product with everything and anything and I found no problems with all veggies, meats and even biscuits.

My experience with carrots: I wanted/expected something drinkable but, even starting with carrot pieces/chunks (rather than entire carrots), got a paste instead (:-( so I had to add water to the paste and mix some more. Marketing material says "blending blade liquefies entire fruits and vegetables"; I say baloney.Also, the clear tumbler became ever-so-lightly stained (carrot orange, of course), which even warm soapy water wash didn't fully clean. I suppose it's possible a dishwasher would do a better job than this dudewasher (;-) but IMHO it should fully clean up with basic hand washing, if not just a good rinse.

I only have a humble Donvier, and am looking for something like this machine, but I have made Ice cream with Splenda (excellent) and Stevia (not so good, but I think it was bad stevia) and used substantially less of each than the sugar called for in the recipes. Consistency was fine, though I sometimes add a little gelatin if making a reduced fat batch. I would think you could make a no sugar added recipe that's fine as long as you use the Splenda. Not sure about other substitutes.

My sister made several veggie and fruit smoothies while visiting us - she used leafy vegetables - baby spinach, romaine,etc. It worked well for that. But I don't think you'd get beet juice or carrot juice! (I used frozen mango chunks in it; it made a God-awful racket, even after I added some juice but it did finally make a puree for a smoothie with vanilla frozen yogurt. YUM!

I tried looking up the sugar content and was unable to find information. I would suggest contacting the company.

Hi, While our slicer has only had to deal with garlic, the chef says that ginger should not be a problem. One may get thick or thin slices by the pressure applied to the item being sliced. With the extremely sharp cutter blade, most any food substance up to a shallot, or similar, should be fair game. When asked about carrots, no. Things likely to become gummy were also a no-no.

I know that you can't use citrus oils in the sun. I'm not sure about carrot. I would email someone at Plant Therapy or Eden's Garden and ask. I always get a pretty quick response from the gentleman at Plant Therapy and he is very serious and sincere about the oils and the business and helping. Go to the website and he should be able to answer your question.

From the package "ADDS A TRIVAL AMOUNT OF SUGAR". I would suggest to go to their web site for additional information!

I haven't tried that, but my key ingredient is overripe frozen bananas. They make everything much sweeter.

Well.... I see where the colors and flavors are natural, per the listed ingredients (purple carrot juice concentrate, blueberry and carrot concentrates, annatto extract -- from seeds of the achiote tree). Polydextrose would appear to be the primary fiber source. That is a soluble fiber synthesized from dextrose (glucose) plus about 10% sorbitol and 1% citric acid. It's FDA approved for many uses in foods. I've messaged the maker to see what other info they might share. Allen

Well, Corey I did some research and it appears that you may be on to something. Already purchased a gigantic package of Stevia In The raw, so I will likely ride it out. However, I am now on the lookout for a natural sugar substitute, any suggestions? Someone suggested Sweet Leaf brand but not sure about that either.

Not to my knowledge..I just looked at the ingredients and couldn't find any sugar additives..

Use it in carrot bread or carrot cake. Same with the beets if you can find a recipe for a bread or cake using beets. Might need to add a little juice too.

Yes, you surely can! You will need special recipes, though. Recipes in "The Spunky Coconut" come to mind right offhand, but there are surely others. You will need recipes that don't depend upon the caramelization capacity of sugar to make them succeed, so you can't substitute successfully in all recipes.

Ours did the same thing. You're not doing anything wrong. You can eliminate some or most of the pulp if you put carrots or cucumbers through after you put pulp heavy items through such as pineapple or celery.

I would suggest trying it out without the sugar first and seeing what you think of it. The problem is that the more sugar you add the more likely you are to burn the waffles on the iron.

Any number of ways in a blender. I often used water, fruit and their mix, which I can't touch anymore because it makes me (and many others) so sick. Sometimes I'd use carrot juice for the base liquid. Honestly, it's not worth the money to find out if you can tolerate this mix. Just hit up a vitamin shop for vitamins and fiber pills, and cut dairy/breads for 21 days.
