Yup! I'd wondered whether other people do that too -- glad to have it confirmed. :-) I think the first time I did it was with a rutabaga. It's great when I want to add carrots to something where they should be cooked soft, and want to reduce the cooking time -- like adding carrot to pasta but wanting it all to be ready in just the normal amount of time for pasta -- but it's also such a convenient way to add fresh carrot to a garden salad!
