Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I don't mean to be a pest, but never got an answer to my question, so am hoping that it just never went through. (GMail's only fault is that you don't get copies of your own messages.) I have one of those Cuisinart Mini Prep Plus Processors -- which is sort of a very tiny food processor with only the steel blade. I have trouble finding unsweetened dried coconut around here, so ordered some online. It comes as " coconut chips " rather than shredded. Since the booklet cites chocolate, peppercorns, and seeds as appropriate for this processor, does anyone think that there would be a problem if I used the Mini Prep to shred dried coconut chips? Thank you very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I cannot see why not - but would it be worth contacting them to be on the safe side? The Dragon Shredding Dried Coconut?

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'm mute, so that really isn't an option for me. But thank you VERY much for trying to help.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I know what you mean about how hard it is to find unsweetened streded coconut. I usually stock up when I'm at the Village Market http://vm.southern.edu/ in Collegedale, TN across the street from Southern Adventist University or at the store at the Natural Health Food store at http://www.wildwoodhealth.org/site/c.ddKKISNmEkG/b.4089841/ in Wildwood, Ga I store it in my freezer. I I don't know if they have an online store or not. I would definitely try shredding the Coconut Chips(I love to munch on those) in your food processor, but I would only pulse it, checking it every couple of seconds, or you'll have powder very quickly.

In my entire life, I have never met a Seventh Day Adventist, and am nowhere near their churches or shops. Believe me, I wish I were. I have to order their products from the Mail Order Catalog online. But I just checked, and they carry shredded coconut, which is probably unsweetened, but I'll have to check the printed catalog. (The website doesn't say.) That will help in the future, but I really need shredded coconut now, so will try pulsing it. I can't thank you enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 You're very welcome. We, Seventh Day Adventist, are everywhere. There are SDA churchs in most towns and multiple ones in cities. We operate the largest protestant health care system/hospitals and parochial school system(K - University) in the world.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Since you're familiar with the coconut chips, do you think I could use them as they are (without shredding) in those graham cracker crumbs - chocolate chip - butterscotch chip - shredded coconut - sweetened condensed milk bars known as Layer Bars, Hello Dolly Bars, Magic Cookie Bars, etc.? Do you think the coconut chips would be as good there as shredded coconut?

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think they would be very good in them, as is, but making them a little smaller in your food processer would be nice too.
