Food processer question and recommendations please!
Probably a daft question (!) but can a food processor slice carrots into sticks?Like this:
I think I'm going to be doing lots of stews and hotpots so would be handy if I could easily get my carrots sliced into sticks
Also, can they dice onions? Like this:
That would save me sooo much time as I'm so slow
Also, which ones do you recommend?

Having said that I would love a food processor and would probably go for a magimix.

Those magimixes look expensive
didn't want to spend that much So I need one of these Julienne slicers I guess - which one do you think is best?
1
2
3
I'm thinking the one in the middle - as I guess the 1st will always leave some, and the last will be restricted to size!
Unless there's a cheap ish food processor for less than 30 quid that does it too?

Mine has 4 settings so you can grate and slice in three shapes and sizes which is great for julienne but also great if you want to evenly slice potatoes for the top of a hotpot or something.
I do still do most stuff with just a knife but if i want precision or am cooking in bulk then the mandoline becomes a life-saver!

will let you know what it's like! 
Fudge - I don't peel my carrots just wash them with a 'brush'
they are organic so I try to keep the skins on as they are good for you the non-organic ones taste like water to me lol

As I was typing I knew you were going to say that! Enjoy! I would still get handy with a knife though! A bit like being able to use a camera in manual mode I reckon!
