Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Weston Cabbage Shredder
Customer Review: Not at all what I'd hoped for
Summary: 1 Stars
I regularly make sauerkraut in a 10 liter (2.5 gallon) Harsch fermenting crock, and I thought this tool would really speed the process of shredding the cabbage. I was using either a knife or a mandoline. When I bought this cabbage shredder in spring of 2009, it was selling for over forty dollars, but I figured that was worth it, since it would make the job significantly faster and easier. I pictured myself shredding head after head of cabbage in half the time it was currently taking me.
It arrived, I tried it, and was immediately disappointed. The white laminate was already chipping at the edges, and frankly, it was awkward to use. Even more annoyingly, despite the warnings to be careful about the sharp blades, they aren't very sharp at all, at least on my particular shredder. I really had to push hard to get the cabbage to shred.
I thought maybe there was a learning curve, so I tried it for two more batches, and then stopped using it. It turned out that for the three or four heads of cabbage I use for each batch of kraut, it's still faster and easier for me to use my cheap mandoline. On top of that, the shreds of cabbage come out much better using a knife or my mandoline: this produces rather thick, uneven shreds.
I attempted to log on and write a review of this product, and wasn't able to because at the time this vendor had stopped selling this shredder. (I think that was the reason.) I tried selling mine for half price on Craigslist, but no one was interested.
I suppose that maybe, if I had to shred a dozen or so heads of cabbage, this might be a useful tool. I really wanted to like it, but it just doesn't work that well for me. Now that it's selling for less than thirty dollars, I'm even more disappointed that I spent as much as I did. I don't recommend this product for someone such as myself who makes smaller batches of kraut
