Kmlynne Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I have read so many recipes (online, in books, on this forum) about spiraled veggies and would like to try it. There are so many kinds of spiralizers out there - plastic vs stainless, table top vs handheld, etc. What is your favorite spiralizer - and why. Are there any drawbacks to the one you are using (or have used)? Is the quality good enough that it will last for a long time? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hands down this one: http://www.amazon.com/Paderno-World-Cuisine-A4982799-Tri-Blade/dp/B0007Y9WHQ The price goes up and down a lot so watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Nutter Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vegetable-Fruit-Spiral-Shred-Process-Device-Cutter-Slicer-Peeler-Kitchen-Tool-/251422244846?pt=UK_Kitchen_Accessories&hash=item3a89eeffee#ht_5843wt_1141 I bought this one as I wanted to see whether I liked spiralled vegetables without spending a fortune. It works REALLY well and I have so far used it about 10-15 times and it's still woking beautifully. It has 2 thickness options for the spiraling and cleans real easy too! If you're on a budget I think its perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmlynne Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 thank you for your input! I decided to get the one Coco Nutter showed - just because of the cost. However, I have Physibeth's on my amazon watch list! If I find I am eating a lot of spiraled veggies, I will upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaine Ross Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 The main difference I have noticed is how much counter space they take up. You can find ones that fit in your utensil drawers as well as large ones with many attachments. I like the smaller ones. This one is the one I use: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Easy-Veggie-Spiral-Cutter-Slicer-Peeler-Grater-Fruit-Vegetable-Garnish-HOT-AR/301097113821?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D22472%26meid%3D7199616143065410960%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D9725%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D10%26sd%3D251422244846 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Anyone try the vertical one sold on Sur La Table? I have a tiny kitchen and no more storage space. http://m.surlatable.com/product/PRO-413682/Vertical+Spiral+Slicer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Just found on Amazon and apparently it's the Benrinner Vertical Spiral Slicer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veromama Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I just ordered one like Delaine linked to. It takes a couple of weeks before it arrives, but I'm excited to have one finally. I didn't buy one before because they all looked too big and I didn't know if I would end up using it or not. This one looks like a good one to start with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarabelle Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Love mine! A paderno paid about $35 for it from amazon and worth every penny! Then last week I was at a thrift shop and found a barely used one, just like mine for $3.99! I grabbed it for my daughter and she's loving it too! Love it....favorite is zucchini, sautéed in ghee with a little garlic, and a squirt of lemon juice at the end? delish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 So, anyone have a vertical one? I'm about to fill what little counter space I have with ferments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrannieD Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Has anyone tried the really cheap version of a spiralizer they are selling on TV now? I saw it at Walgreens and WalMart the other day and was tempted to get it since I wouldn't have to wait for delivery. But I don't want to waste my money!

Kmlynne Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 I am not sure what one is on tv but I bought a 15$ version at bed bath and beyond. So far it has held up well. (I have used it maybe a dozen times). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelle Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 This thread has been so helpful. I'm getting myself an inexpensive model to test out the whole "spiralized veggies" concept. I julienned some zucchini for 'Well Fed' pad Thai with my V slicer and I was not impressed--and also terrified of zipping my fingertips off!

Beets Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I know. I have several times priced out a new mandolin with the fish filleting gloves people recommend and then it all gets too complicated and mired in Amazon reviews. This seems easier.

GrannieD Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Here is the link to what they sell at Bed, Bath, & Beyond (and also what I saw on TV). http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/veggetti-trade-spiral-vegetable-cutter/1042545910?Keyword=spiral+vegetable+slicer Kmlynne, I am guessing this is what you have been using?

Kmlynne Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 That's what I have! I have done zucchini, cucumbers and sweet potatos so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cara123 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I have a Gefu, it's a verticle one. All good so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veromama Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Well, my cheap spiralizer from eBay is a total waste of money... it turns everything into mush instead of cutting it. The only thing it cuts somewhere like it promises is carrots, but the results are still nowhere near optimal. I think I'm doing it right, it seems obvious how to use it so I don't think it's my fault. I hope to find something better for a not too bad price soon.

Mary Carmosino Beougher Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I have the Paderno. I got it at Williams Sonoma and yes, it was a little pricey at $40, but considering I'm using it practically every day, it's well worth it. I love the three different blades.

EmayPA Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I have the Paderno and adore it, but am probably going to pick up a Vegetti at BB&B with a $5 coupon, just for those times when I don't want to haul out the monster and just want quick and easy for one meal for one. However, it's summer squash and cucumber time at the CSA (6 pounds of cukes one week!) so the Paderno really should come out to play. It will for sure when I start another W30 on 8/1.

Derval Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I got the Westmark one on amazon uk as the paderno one wasn't free shipping. And I like the colour Use it at least once a week The problem with the vertical is you have to cut the veggies to fit which is a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
