general description
Korean carrots are a popular dish since the days of the USSR. Many people love its taste. This treat became famous thanks to immigrants from the Far East. Nowadays, a rare feast does without Korean carrots. To cook it, you need to use a special type of grater. The standard option will not work.
The classic carrot cutter is a device that works from a network or from human action. Using it, housewives can easily and seamlessly grate the vegetable to create thin and small strips. Unlike most modern combines and other models of vegetable cutters, the items in question can be supplied with various types of attachments.
Thanks to such components, it becomes possible to change the thickness and section of the cut straws. The wider the holes are, the coarser the carrots are chopped.

Special graters for cutting Korean carrots do not have serious drawbacks, but they are distinguished by little functionality.
The narrow specialization of the kitchen utensils in question leads to the fact that they are rarely used. Because of this, Korean carrot graters cannot boast of versatility.

Views

Manual
Manual grater models attract buyers with affordable price tags. They are much cheaper than mechanical or electrical ones. The considered varieties of graters are characterized by extremely simple use. It was such items for cooking Korean carrots that housewives used during the Soviet era.
Manual models of vegetable shredders are sold in many retail outlets. As a rule, such devices are very small in size, so that their storage does not cause the slightest problem.

While practical, hand-held Korean carrot graters have some serious drawbacks.
- During the operation of the devices under consideration, a rather high energy consumption takes place. It takes a lot of physical effort to chop carrots in large quantities. Many housewives quickly get tired of such manipulations, especially if the grater has to be kept in weight for a long time.
- A lot of cheap hand graters are sold in stores, which are made of fragile plastic. Such structures quickly break down, and their cutting parts soon become dull. If you work too vigorously, the user may be injured himself. When choosing a manual device, it is better to give preference to wooden options that have more weight, but are stronger and more solid.
- When using hand tools, a person can easily get hurt if at some point the hand accidentally slides off. It is not allowed to use such things if the fingers already have any injuries and wounds. It is worth exercising the utmost care when the vegetable is almost completely worn out.
- The cutting speed on the devices under consideration depends only on the intensity of the user's actions. In any case, it is usually not too high.

Hand-type graters are flat, pyramidal, square. On store shelves, there are also specimens equipped with a container. In the design of these devices, the plastic reservoir is closed at the top with a grater lid. In the course of grinding, the planed vegetable is immediately sent to the container. In most cases, the containers in these devices are characterized by a modest volume, which is why they often have to be emptied.
A special knife is also among the handicrafts. Basically, these items are combined with a vegetable peeler. These are compact and lightweight options that allow you to first peel and then plan the prepared root crop. These devices are convenient to use outdoors, however, large portions of salads cannot be prepared with them.
Knives are not made the most comfortable, a person can get hurt about them. But the considered products are quite inexpensive.

An interesting novelty is the hand-held spiral type shredder. Using this tool, you can chop salad carrots in the form of original wavy spaghetti. A dish with such ingredients will look not only very appetizing, but also original. Cone-shaped models are very small in size, they are convenient to use even for small children. It is enough to place the root crop in a special hole, and then twist the structure in the direction of the arrow. Shredded elements will come out through the side hole.
To make the beautiful spirals longer, twist the carrot smoothly, without removing it until the very end of the process.
Due to the miniature size, the tool in question is not suitable for all vegetables - large carrots may simply not fit into it.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-337/2021/10/terki-dlya-korejskoj-morkovi-19.jpg)
Mechanical
An optimal accessory for those who like to cook Korean carrots. Most mechanical devices are average cost. These are convenient and easy-to-use options. It is almost impossible to injure a hand during their operation, and the vegetable itself is securely fixed with a special holder like a clamp.
You should not buy too cheap mechanical devices, since they will definitely not last for a long time and can quickly break down. The teeth of the mechanical transmission are especially vulnerable in such products. The volumes of the shredder during the operation of the devices under consideration depend only on how soon the user's hand begins to get tired of scrolling the handle.
The main disadvantage of mechanical devices lies in the low processing speed of root crops.

Electrical
The fastest, safest and most practical are modern electric graters. These can be not only household, but also industrial (professional) options. Such devices are more expensive than mechanical or manual machines. It is advisable to buy them if you plan to process carrots in large volumes. Most often, powerful professional equipment is purchased for cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, and so on.
A good quality electric model can shred carrots for salad in a very short time. Many power stations are sold complete with additional attachments, through which it is possible to cut other types of vegetables. The devices under consideration are as simple as possible and absolutely safe to use.

![](https://fashion.decorexpro.com/images/article/cropped/337-472/2021/10/terki-dlya-korejskoj-morkovi-23.jpg)
Their main disadvantage lies in volatility - the technique is useless in places where there is no electric current.True, today such models are already being produced that operate on a rechargeable battery or batteries.
Korean-style carrot products powered by electricity can have different designs. However, in terms of their structure and principle, most of such devices have a lot of similarities with meat grinders or combines. In the upper part there is a recess where vegetables are placed, they are pressed with a special pusher so as not to damage your fingers. It is not allowed to put your hands into the devices in question when they are connected to the network.

Selection Tips
We will understand the main criteria for the selection of high-quality and ergonomic cutting for cooking carrots in Korean.
- The body of the devices under consideration is most often made of special plastic or wood. Plastic models are good only if they are made of high-strength and sturdy material, otherwise they break quickly. Wooden specimens are more solid and durable, but they are also more expensive. On sale you can also find models with a stainless steel case - most often these are electrical options. These types are most preferred.
- Blade. Only a high-quality steel blade should be present in the carrot chopper. The part must be hardened above average hardness.Metal with various impurities will not be able to withstand long-term operation, which is why it risks breaking off during operation. These situations often lead to serious injury to users.
- Replaceable nozzles. It is recommended to buy graters that come with replaceable nozzles (for example, round or rectangular). The more there are, the more functional the tool is. Due to this, a person will be able to chop vegetables in different ways and from different forms.
- Convenience. Any device must be comfortable. The design must include holders and handles, thanks to which the user can hold the device.
- Stability. Any grater must be firm. It is advisable to buy models with supports or special legs. Using such options is much more convenient and safer.
- Power. If you buy an electric model of a grater, then it must be powerful enough.
For solid foods, it is advisable to choose an apparatus with a power of at least 100 watts.

How to use it correctly?
Let's find out how to properly chop Korean carrots on a special product.
- When using a hand tool, you need to press down on the vegetable, and then move it in a perpendicular direction with respect to the blade. Excessively harsh manipulations will not be needed, since this can damage the finger or nail plate. When a very small piece remains of the vegetable, it should be removed and the next one should be taken. If the grater is supplemented with a reservoir, it must be emptied when filling.
- In mechanical devices, by fixing the vegetable in the holding part, a special mechanism is triggered by means of the handle. The faster you twist it, the more salad you will end up with. When the carrots are completely worn out, a new vegetable can be placed in the holder.
- Rubbing carrots with electrical appliances is very simple, the main thing is to act in accordance with the instructions. First, install the necessary nozzle, close the lid of the equipment. A carrot is placed in the vegetable compartment; it is allowed to slightly support it on top with a pusher object. Then the device is connected to the mains, set the desired settings and press the start button. As it becomes empty, the compartment with the vegetable must be filled by pushing with a special object.

How to do it yourself?
A strong and reliable Korean carrot grater can be not only purchased, but also homemade. There are many ways to make such a device. It can be made both very large and compact. In any case, first, the master should prepare detailed drawings of the future structure, indicating all dimensional parameters.
We will learn how to make a carrot shredder step by step yourself.
- First, you need to make blanks of the future structure from a moisture-resistant plywood sheet - 2 square pieces and 2 straight racks. You need to cut out the handle of the structure.
- Next, a saw is taken. It needs to be disassembled and from the metal cutting part it will turn out to make knives for a grater.
- One square workpiece is sawn and a cut-out knife is attached to it. Its sharp part should protrude slightly beyond the part. Also, 2 more cutting elements will need to be fixed so that they protrude at the bottom of the future structure. Attach the cut out handle.
- When all the parts are completely ready, they will need to be assembled into a single structure.
You can use other materials and components for self-assembly of the grater. Each master chooses for himself what is better to make such a useful and functional craft.
