When making a small amount of slaw, sometimes it's just easier to hand shred carrots with a vegetable peeler instead of sticking them into a food processor. However, it's hard to get the entire carrot shredded because there's no way to hold the end of the carrot without also shredding your fingers!
HERE'S A SIMPLE TIP: When you shred the carrot as far as you can, chop off a bit of the large end to form a flat surface and stick a corn cob holder in it to act as a handle. Voila! No waste (and no bandaids needed!)
