MIU France 90003 Vegetable Julienne Slicer, ABS Plastic, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)... and I do!
This makes 2 types of cuts, a "ribbon" cut and a "shred" cut. You can also make various slices and cubes by making cuts in the vegetable before inserting into the slicer.
I love to mix raw carrot shreds (much longer and thinner than pre shredded bagged stuff you can buy), I think of it as carrot "angel hair" with cucumber ribbon, and other shreds like daikon and jicama for veggie "pasta salads". Steamed zucchini, carrot, and parsnip shreds make a great substitute for pasta with tomato sauce.
If these are things you think you'll eat a lot and you like gadgets, this is a good buy. If you're looking to make perfect fancy garnishes, this isn't as precise as the expensive model spiral slicers. (or as versatile, I think some of the $250 models make more different sizes of shreds.)
Note on using it: read the instructions. You need to cut the ends of the vegetable even to get good shreds, and you need to apply steady downward pressure to the handle while turning, or you wont get long continuous ribbons or shreds. If this kind of thing is not instinctive to you, it may take some practice. Don't give up afer your first try, buy a big bag of carrots and practice the rotation/pressure to get it right.
So far it has cleaned up really well and pretty quickly, but you'll want to rinse it right after use because veggie matter does stick in the "shreds" blade and if it dries could be a pain to clean out. (carrots will stain the white plastic part orange, but it doesn't hurt it any.)
I love it and use it almost every day, but I wouldn't call it a "must have" for everyone. If you're not really excited about the prospect of shredded veggies for a salad or veggies as an alternative to pasta, you probably would not use it much.
if you could adjust the thickness of the ribbons/shreds and it were a teensy bit sturdier, I'd give this five stars.

Benriner Cook Help Spiral Vegatable Slicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wish I could reverse my rating of this device from one star to 5 but I am not able to- please keep in mind that I no longer want to rate this 1 star when you read this review.
At first, I bought this product and got nothing but frustration from it. Usually my entire family can figure out new methods and ways to use things, even if hardly anyone else can figure it out.
I had given up.
I had gotten nothing but frustration with the Benriner Cook Help, so I wrote a review of it expressing it as such.
After writing the review, I approached the Benriner as someone who never saw it before and I started experimenting.
My problems had been due to miscommunication on how to use this unit. There is not a whole lot out there about the Benriner Cook Help, so I was depending on the few directions out there, and none of them worked.
Here is what I figured out:
Although it is often told that you can make angel hair noodles from zucchini, I was always told that you have to use the smallest blades to do this. That is not true.
The key to using this device is that the softer the vegetable, the larger the blade attachment that you need to use.
The result is to have very long spaghetti style noodles just like you would cook, but they are raw. Then you made raw tomato sauce by processing tomatoes, herbs, and veggies and use it over top.
I have not been able to get carrots to work with this yet, but I have been working most intently with zucchini because that was my biggest goal in using this device.
However, I have found that if you apply pretty solid heavy pressure on the unit with one hand and the handle while you crank it with the other, I can get most of the zucchini to spiral out in perfect noodles. My family loves it and I could not be more thrilled.
At first, I was using the smallest blades for things- but they would not work, and I got frustrated.
If you have hard seeds in the vegetables, you will also find that they will clog up the blade area in any size and make it so you can not spiralize as well.
If you work with it and learn what size works for what- you can get a lot of excellent performance from the Benriner Cook Help.
Lastly, take the blades out BEFORE you wash it, and it will clean up very easily.
I regret that I can not reverse my previous rating, but at least I got another chance to do a follow up review to let you know the update about what I have discovered!

Saladacco Spiral Slicer Garnishing Machine - Spirializer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The slicer I received is not the one advertised and can not julienne or cube vegetables like the pictures show. It's blade to create strands is also made out of plastic rather than metal.
I would find another place to buy it to make sure you get the real one not the imitation.
