Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Hamilton Beach 70800 Change-A-Bowl Multi-Bowl Slicer/ShredderCustomer Review: A Wonderful Kitchen Tool Summary: 5 Stars
For the past 1 1/2 years this has been one of my most used kitchen tools. I would not want to be without it. Since writing the comments below, made in November 2006, I have found that it is good for shredding broccoli stalks, celery stalks, etc. for use in soups. It deserves 5 stars.
Just like a screwdriver is a poor tool for pounding a nail, this is a poor tool for shredding soft cheese and soft fruits such as peppers. But is is a wonderful tool for shredding and slicing harder things, such as potatoes and carrots.
Since getting this shredder I have had wonderful hash brown potatoes in the mornings. Take a raw gold potato, scrub it clean, cut it into several pieces and shred them into one of the removable containers. Microwave the shredded potatoes in the container for 3 minutes, dump the potatoes into a small fry pan with olive oil and cook on both sides. Add some salt and pepper. They are wonderful. While the microwave is pre-cooking the potatoes I take off the disk and push out the top of the shredder and rinse them under cold water. They clean up wonderfully. So much easier than my top rated food processor. Although I mostly like to use a sharp knife to cut things, and I dislike having kitchen gadgets that take up counter space, I cannot imagine living without this great tool. Just like all tools, it does not do everything. Yes, the opening is smaller than I would sometimes like, and larger than I would like at other times. It would be nice if the next model had two openings, one larger so I could put in the whole potato, and one smaller so I could put in one carrot at a time.
Just like all tools, it is not perfect. You have to know how to use it and when to use it. When you learn this it is a wonderful machine, and it cleans up so easily. Only my knives clean up easier.
Update March 11, 2011. I do a lot of cooking and this remains my most used kitchen tool. Yes, I have a Kitchen Aid mixer, a food processor, a blender, and several other gadgets but the Change-A-Bowl remains the most useful and the most used. I have not missed having a second disk and would not know where to store it if I did have it. The one disk gets rinsed and washed well after each use, along with the other parts, and the unit gets reassembled ready for use again. I have found that it shreds soft cheeses if they are first refrigerated or frozen.
