It would be faster and simpler to just do it by hand. Mostly, I just chop up half a head. I've tried using a grater and a mandoline. Forget it! It's too much trouble!

Depends on what you want as a final result. The grating blade gives me
a consistent cut the way we like it. You can get thinner that you will
with a knife. It is not that one is better than the other, they are just
different so make your choice. The machine makes easy work of carrots too!
