I'm not really sure what else to suggest, other than that it may be the specific tools you're using. I've tried many of these methods, watched videos of people using these shredding methods on carrots, and other people don't seem to be getting the same mushy results. So, it may be the tools themselves. | |

It looks like a vegetable peeler but has notches on it that turn the carrot into thinner shreds instead of ribbons like a typical peeler: images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/… Just do a search for "carrot shredder" on a site that sells kitchen products and it should come up. | |
