I hear that spirilisers are good. I've just got a julienne peeler for making courgetti. Hurry up courgettes :D I'm dying to try it.
Be careful what you wish for Compo ::) :)

LOL!! :lol:
You may come to regret saying that!!
I have 5 small marrows to contend with currently! ::)

I think it will be One of those gadgets you will see at bootfairs and charity shops in 18 months time - like the mini cupcake machines or min doughnut machines. Hand held julienne cutter (like a potato peeler) works well for me

How are people getting on with spiralisers these days? Thinking of getting one but can't decide whether it's worth getting a proper one or a handheld one.
-
I was thinking of one myself but theres a range of prices .

I bought a cheap hand held one from Amazon. Couldn't afford the electric ones. I didn't like this one at first, but then realised that the carrots I was using were a bit thin. they need to be nice and chunky.
Only used mine a few times as Brian likes proper spaghetti, but I did do half spaghetti and half courgetti once and he said he liked that. I think now that my courgettes are coming on, I'll have to get it out again!
This is the one that I got, but it wasn't this expensive when i got it. I bought 4, they came straight from China. I had one, gave one to Nici, one to my granddaughter and one to Brian's DIL. I don't think they've use theirs!

Lidl have got them in on Monday I think it was
-
Thanks. A couple of friends have got the little ones, but I've seen reviews that suggest they're not that easy to use. However, they're quite a lot cheaper than the ones that go on the worktop, even though Lakeland has a sale on at the moment.
Hmm.
-
I'm left handed and so a lot of the bigger spiralizers don't work for me. Lakeland's didn't for example ( non electric). I bought one from Amazon that has different attachments, but mainly use the spaghetti making one, and sometimes the spiral makes which is nice for cucumbers.
I use to regularly throughout the courgette season, serving it up with various sauces and we love it. Mine has suction pads to grip it to the table top, and it folds down nice and small.
The main issue is if you are left handed - beware!
-
Well I've bought a cheap handheld one from my local kitchen store, so we'll see how we go with that.
Interesting point about being left-handed, ghost61. I wouldn't otherwise have thought of it. I'm right handed but mum is a lefty.
-
The chap in Lakeland who demonstrated it really didn't get the fact that it wouldn't work for a lefty. When I showed him that it made the machine jolt when I used it, he suggested using my right hand........ Anyway as mentioned found one on the internet that could be used by either, on mine the handle is on top, on the side, so that the thing to look out for if you want a table top version and are a lefty!
-
I've only just got a cheap hand held one and seems pretty good. Think my OH is even more taken with it than me. Who would have thought you could spiralise a tomato!
-
:ohmy: How on earth do you manage that?
My handheld one is like a pencil sharpener and I can't imagine getting a tomato down the pointy bit.
Like this design (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gefu-13460-Spiral-Cutter-Spirelli/dp/B0026RMEK4/ref=sr_1_42?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1469998720&sr=1-42&keywords=spiralizer), it is.
-
Not a clue! But tonight I was presented with veg curry with a very very long spiralised tomato on it!!!
-
Just hadva look on lidl and that looks ok that one wouldnt matter if your left or right handed , theres some attachments on the other page must go with it seperate price .

Has this one figured here?
We watched a demonstration lots of years ago, and bought a plastic one, but gave up after a few mishaps...

I think that one comes with a Krypton factor complicated index marking!! :ohmy:
-
I've been looking at these but I know I'm a sucker for gadgets which get used a couple of times then get shoved to the back of the cupboard until I can admit I'm not actually going to use it again - I am afraid this is probably one of those so I have refrained so far from buying.....
-
Me too - I actually bought some already spiralised courgettes and butternut squash to try them instead of ordinary spaghetti, but wasn't impressed. ::)
-
Ive just seen an apple peeler for £10 its not massive but will take the ache out of peeling all those apples .
i too have a julienne peeler never got round to getting the spiraliźer .

I've not got a spiraliser either. Sigh
I am holding out buying one as I'm trying to win one at the WW raffle. This week I won a storage jar! :D Dang!
-
I got this in December (finally succumbed) and I have to say it is great - spiralises a courgette in 30 seconds. It also packs away easily and neatly and needs minimal washing up - would 100% recommend it
