Vegetable Spiralizer...Do you have one?

Roy and I are trying to be more health conscious so we bought a vegetable Spiralizer and used it for the first time tonight. When we buy mussels, I add them to pasta but I substituted the pasta with spiralized zucchini/courgettes tonight and it was delicious.

Do any of you have a Spiralizer and do you use it? If you don't have one would you consider buying a Spiralizer?

I'm sure it is basically the same thing. Do you like it and do you use it often? I'm going to try making spiralized sweet potato fries. What is your favorite veg to spiralize?

clu

Are you going to deep fry the sweet potato or bake them?

commented 9 years ago

clu

I;ve made curly fries a lot! Also zuchinni! Kind of lazy about getting the deep fryer out! LOL!

The Spiralizer had a cookbook attached to it with a recipe for Crispy Sweet Potato Fries. The instructions say to pour two or three tablespoons of olive oil over them and bake them in the oven.
They look like hash browns in the picture.

I made sweet potato frys in the oven and the recipe said to sprinkle cornstarch on them? They tasted good though! Happy eating! I love sweet potatoes! We grow them in our garden!
One of our potatoes weighed almost 5 pounds! I thought it was huge but I checked google and there are some that made mine look like a baby!

My sister sent me one for Easter once, the same type as clu's. Never used it and gave it away. I take that back , I did try to cut cabbage with it once. It was easier with a knife.....

I guess some spiralizers are easier to use than others. I think our new spiralizer has found a good home.

Yes. I got one for free at Sears. There was a demonstration being given. I have never used it.

Clonge you should try it because I think you would like it. Clonge did you ask a question a few month ago about what to cook in a slow cooker or a crock pot?

I have seen them and wondered if I would use it, probably not, just another kitchen gadget clogging up the cupboard.

I thought the same thing as you but it is worth a try and you might actually like it.

commented 9 years ago

Ducky

I also thought the same. I can't get near a 'gadget demonstration' or I'll buy it, use it once and then back to the knife....easier.

Bob/PKB

Guilty of same

If that would make vegetables more attractive and versatile and simple, I'd get one and use it. Have a birthday coming up....

The one we have is a little more simplistic than this one. That's a very nice one Terry but probably a bit pricey too.

This is part of the last run of gilt dial 1675s which would place it around 1964 or '65. The most striking aspect of this example is probably its gold-colored hands which are rare and which are a bit earlier than the standard hands link that we see below. Here we also see that the pointed crown guards that have typified the cases of the 1675 until this point have been changed for the rounded crown guards that are close to those you might find on a current link production link GMT-Master II.
