What about the cabbage?

[@gillgreen3446]

I’m 75 and I’ve never seen anyone take the middle out of a lettuce like that, brilliant Amy 11 out of 10 was worth watching for that alone .

[@JohnBarrow1961]

It's a restaurant trick from decades back.

[@PomazeBog1389]

Thank you for your comment. Hope you are doing well.

[@favorite3424]

I was looking on Amazon and online, and I went to a cooking store looking for a "lettuce shredder." I had used my food processor before, but I used the shredder and pulverized the lettuce. Since I could not find a lettuce shredder, I turned to YT and found u. I never thought to try the slicer. So, thank you very much.

[@RayMacksKitchenandGrill]

Awesome tips and tricks...you both had me smiling over here.

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Thanks for watching, Ray! Happy Valentine's Day!

Earlier this year, I began making my own bread and using home fresh milled flour as well. My teenagers love it, but my son mentioned he missed Subway type bread rolls. Well, I was determined to find the best recipe for FMF - and I did!! He LOVES them! A few weeks later he said "All that's missing is the shredded lettuce". Well, that was an easy fix, I just took my knife and cut that lettuce into shreds. He was so happy and that lettuce was going fast! So a few weeks later, I thought to use my food process to "shred" a couple heads of lettuce. Of course, I used my shredder attachment disk. Oh the horror!! I ended up with the terrible pulverized lettuce you did. Now, I know your "right way"!! I have a head of lettuce in my fridge just waiting to be thinly cut! THANK YOU!!! I can't wait to try it tomorrow.

[@DianePahl]

Now you all know, every time I shred lettuce in my food processor I'm going to go Wooooo just like Amy!!! :)

[@preciouskancube]

That whack the lettuce idea caught me off guard 🤣🤣🤣... Brilliant

[@jeffstewart7639]

All I can say is "Wooo!" Thanks for this tip. I've been make lettuce coleslaw for far too long.

[@lrod425]

Thank so much for the video. My wife and I were looking online for a salad slicer and chopper not even thinking of using the processor we barely use. Thanks again.

[@techlover231]

Thank you, there videos that say use shredder and other say slicer, this clarifies and is very helpful.

[@interneteditor5258]

I just bought my first food processor, and this was the first video I tried for tips. I really hope using it as much fun as this video makes it seem! Thanks Amy.

[@irmanino9489]

The shredded lettuce is great for tosadas.Its perfect.If it's too wet the salad spinner can dry it up.

[@adeeperlook5866]

Amy, you and your husband are so much fun! I'm going to slice not shred! Thank you!

[@Bulldog-mi3om]

This has saved me so much.I love your personality. ❤

[@BASK1120]

LOL, you guys cracked me up~~ I learned something new and I thank you both!!

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Thanks for watching, BK

[@SpareSomeChange8080]

I've never seen such a luminous lettuce, the amount of chems in that probably makes it glow in the dark!

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

It is probably just the camera lol. Thanks for watching!

[@naomiking8038]

Loved your video.I learned how to get the core out without making a mess.Thank you

[@bed07731]

The stem removal trick was amazing! I paused the video to comment. Can't wait to see if there are more magical tricks.

[@memaniac1]

THANK YOU for this!

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

You're so welcome! I am glad it was helpful!

[@pamhall8499]

Thank you so much for this video. I can’t wait to try this. So much cheaper for ones who buy shredded lettuce. ❤️

[@kathyfann]

That was a neat trick taking the car out thank you for showing that I have never seen that anywhere the next thing I do use the shredded lettuce for tostadas as well as tacos as well as just a summer salad

[@Jennifer-oz8ec]

Thank you

[@annagarcia9619]

Thanks! I’m guessing we could do this with cabbage? Can you show how to chop onions with a food processor?

[@wendysimmons5906]

Lol love it!! Stress relief lettuce method!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

Great demo. Now we need to see the shredder do cheese. It is interesting that to do lettuce the slicer is the one to use. Great.

[@DianeC.]

Hi Amy &Eric!!! I have used the shredding blade before and it looks alot better with the other blade for sure. Thank You. I will use the slicer from now on. Hope you both have a happy day.!!!

[@DEEP_STATE]

Can you compare Magimix to Breville 16 cup?

[@SILVERSTREAK925]

Thanks for the tip on lettuce slicing. I just watched some lady shred hers to goo....lol.

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

I am glad that it helped! Thanks for watching, Silver Streak!

[@maryannemcmaster3308]

Thank you 🙌

[@melodieg.6636]

I was wondering how restaurants got it so perfect!! Thank you!!

[@JohnJacobLlaguno]

Hi, what happens if you use the thinnest slice setting for the lettuce or cabbage?

[@cnnw3929]

I've never done this before with lettuce, but I sure do like how this works! Will this shredded lettuce keep as well as a head of lettuce in a refrigerator's crisper?

[@dtovee]

I'm not sure if I agree with your methods but it looks like your having fun and it great that you're encouraging people to eat lettuce :)

[@jrbees929]

I just bought a MagiMix Compact 3200XL and wanted to make some cole slaw but didn't know which blade to use. Thanks for _sacrificing_ that head of lettuce! Now I will try it out tomorrow.

[@darrcface2469]

Wonderful! The leftovers lettuce, how do store in refrigerator, and keep dry and fresh.

[@peg9693]

Omg thank you I did this today and ended up puree lettuce lol .

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Yep...Me too! The first time I tried to shred lettuce in a food processor, I learned my lesson the hard way. Slicing works so much better! Thanks for watching, Peg!

[@seanryan4212]

At what point do you use the salad spinner to remove excess water?

[@JanTheNan]

I have the red one also one from 30 odd years ago.

[@litahsr.8226]

57 years and didn't even know that till now 1:12 😮 had to subscribe you 😊

[@fancyfaces1]

Thank you,.

[@arvinderdhami5157]

Love this video. Quick question though, at what point do you wash the lettuce? X

[@randombaldguy4771]

That core removal trick was amazing

[@surveytestmoney2550]

Reminds me Rosanne Barr‼️🤣I still haven't found anyone who can shred lettuce like my local grinder shop who's lettuce is so finely done that it looks just like Easter grass! I'm told that they use a specialized cutter to make it. I wish I knew where to buy one!

[@sumaiyashimu]

I love her laugh 😂

[@qandeelmalik]

Thankyou for the video

[@iqiddishnarmak]

Hi, great video. Can you show what happens if you use a 2mm slicer?

[@mynameistooey]

thank you for taking the time to create and post this video keep up the good work

[@itsYourChance]

Shredded lettuce is so much better. Now i can do this

[@michelledentino2049]

She’s so likable

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Thanks!

[@thomasmaphis7203]

Now I can bring my lettuce heads to you hehe

[@MissionForward3]

Once you've got the stem out, the head can now be thoroughly washed between all the layers by holding the head under the faucet. Of course, use cold water.

[@ladonnakinney5813]

I just did exactly this. Shredded my lettuce to soup. LOL What blade thickness did you use. I just got my cusineart for Christmas

[@luckyme100178]

Thank u 😁

[@FNG_Star]

This is just the video I needed. I needed to know how a food processor could make preparing cruciferous salads easier and faster. Seeing that attachment made all the difference. Thanks a ton!

[@kingkong71733]

enjoyed the video, thanks

[@1195688152]

Amazing...thanks

[@barbaragoodale8208]

Is this true for cabbage for cole slaw as well?

[@Gigi-nl3so]

this person seems like they've been drinking... I like that. thanks for the tip. now I can make chopped salads👍.

[@Evrydyryder]

We had to do the stem whack at the sandwich shop in the subway.

[@angelmaria114]

Do you know a 8 cup or a 10 cup food processor ,that grates coconut etc,would be good to know ,the one on video is great but it's pricey and too large for a family of 4 or 6 .And also a waste of money if you don't use regularly. I would probably use a food processor 1 or twice a week maximum. I have been looking for days but can't decide .thank you

[@stephanievitrit5823]

I’m trying to figure out how I can shred phyllo dough in a food processor without chopping it up like the first lettuce I’d like to shred it because I can’t find shredded phyllo dough anywhere near me.

[@andischuff]

You said you used a 4 mm blade. Would you say this is the thin, medium, or thick blade?

[@joycew.canfield3165]

Same approach for cabbage (for coleslaw)?

[@truepath100]

Great Tips

[@barbarajohnson7782]

Thanks Amy! Great video!

Can you grater some thing hard like coconut.

[@lahirualhassan7146]

Woow I like it

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Thanks!

[@NorthcoastPatty]

Please share with us if you do hard cheese and if the clean up is worth using the processor.

[@susangradwell6667]

Yes you can. They also have a special disc for Parmesan cheese.

[@gillgreen3446]

I have Parmesan grater for both models and they do a fantastic job. I use a very hard Greek cheese, much harder than Parmesan and grate mine and my daughters. Have been doing it for years and graters are still sharp as new.

[@NorthcoastPatty]

@@gillgreen3446 Thank you!!!

[@AlainNaigeon]

@@susangradwell6667 Just curious, why is the parmesan disk doing a better job than the standard shredder disk ?

[@heatherrogers271]

@@AlainNaigeon It makes it very fine you can do chocolate with it as well!!

[@susanwalker303]

Great tip!

[@angelmaria114]

Great tips and video in general .Can you grate cassava , potatoes, or coconut in this food processor? And if so ,which blade to use , can you please do a video here on you tube,lot of us using food processor for first time will appreciate it. thank you

[@raylenemackay6867]

Will this work for cabbage?

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

It should work for cabbage. If you have an adjustable slicing blade, just don't slice it too thin.

[@anitaparikh6415]

@@AmyLearnsToCookhow do you adjust the slicing blade? Have a kitchen aid and trying to cut cabbage for coleslaw

[@vitazgal9933]

Does this machine have a dicing accessory that can be purchased? Thanks :) !

[@susangradwell6667]

Yes it does

[@rjbro7830]

Thank you...I hid my processer in the cupboard because my first try making coleslaw, ended up as cabbage juice! Dare I bring it back into civilization? I think so! Again tks, from a very seasoned cook!

[@ksleejerry]

Hello Amy!! Been watch your video clips and am grateful for your reviews. Just a question here: would you still stand by Breville Sous Chef as opposed to Magicmix? I am deciding on one. Thank you for the answer in advance! : )

[@mercychiokeke9448]

Is that lettuce or cabbage?

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

Lettuce

[@guillerminastover7099]

I wonder if this works in my Vorwerk Thermomix, that German food processor extraordinaire!!!

[@annetorswick9641]

That's the way we did it in the restaurant.

[@Joani161]

LOL. Do people try to shed lettuce on a hand grater, too?

[@lovelythoughts8855]

I don't think you mean to but hilarious..."let it rip"

[@helvetecaLLC]

Am I the only one that saw a bug in there when she cut the second head of lettuce ? 😂😂- I worked at Submarina as a teenager, and our lettuce always had bugs or caterpillars in them. I used to carefully wash all the lettuce to get them out but my boss was like “don’t waste your time” - ok! Everyone gets bonus protein with their sandwiches!

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

I washed it after I shredded it. I didn't see one. If it was there, I guess it was a bonus 😉

[@MrChiptatum]

I HAVE THIS MACHINE AND ITS BRILLIANT BUT WHEN SHREDDING CARROTS YOU GET A FEW BITS OF CARROT THAT DON'T SHRED. OVERALL A BRILLIANT MACHINE

[@BigAndraze]

I was today years old when i learned u can wack a stem! Amy ur "AmyZING" get it? 😝👍👌💯

[@barbarajohnson7782]

That happened with cabbage too, clogged up my garbage disposal! Yuck what a mess!

[@janemartin229]

Looks like it's time for tacos! You can just wipe out the bowl and shred the cheese while you're at it.

[@sandorkocso1798]

yes! i once shredded my only cabbage for soup and made it and it was grosssssssssss. slicing it is the only good way

[@owncanoe]

Whack a doodle lol😄

[@michaelhodge9902]

This food processor has a ac induction motor.

[@JanTheNan]

Metal knife bruises the lettuce which causes discolouration.

[@beckykosher1128]

But the blade on the food processor is metal, too. Wonder why it doesn't turn brown from it as well?

[@JanTheNan]

Slicing attachment.

[@avanz2885]

hmmm scrolled through the comment section just to see if calls that green veg she handling cabbage not lettuce hmmm

[@fragranthills]

❤WHACK❤️

[@Fireguy97]

By cutting the head into quarters, you've already done 90% of shredding the head. Keep going with your knife and you won't have to cleanup the food processor. You'll probably also save a lot of time because you've already set up for it. If you're going to be shredding for eighty people, yeah. Go for the processor. But if you have to do all that work to get the head small enough for the feed tube, why wouldn't you just keep going with your knife? If you just want some lettuce for tacos, why go to all that trouble and additional cleanup? How much shredded lettuce do you really need?

[@SkillCuisine]

people are SO ridiculous !!! If you want to do it by hand, why watch the video ??? Some people are just way too negative on everything. What a downer it must be to be around y'all.....

[@favorite3424]

I was thinking the same thing but I wasn't gonna say it.

[@s.rmurray8161]

thats why only Americans call it shredded lettuce,the rest of the world only slice lettuce!

[@rheanonjasmyne]

It might look beautiful, but that lettuce is WAT TO BIG for MY MOUTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AmyLearnsToCook]

It is more than 1 serving lol. Thanks for watching!

[@davidspeicher96]

grating is not shredding.
