Spiral chopper (slicer, spiralizer) for cutting vegetables and fruits

The reviews are mixed for all spiralizers.
It seems to me that not everyone is using it correctly.

I really liked Kenwood, I could not cope only with pickles and sluggish pumpkin. But with a hard pumpkin - great. And to him heaps of bad reviews, however, as well as good ones.

I liked the parking lot too. How many have not seen spiralizers, while toiled with choice and desire, I have not seen this from any one. And the fastening of the cone is also of some kind.

[Miranda]

Miranda, and what is Kenwood criticized for?

Gemlux also failed with pickled cucumbers (turning them into mush at speed), but it didn’t handle pickled cucumbers and this is adaptable (how did I forget to mention it):


this is when I tried to make a completely vinaigrette from spirals ...

Although with one carrot (suddenly, if you need to sharpen one carrot) it copes well (this does not leave the rods, but only the cones from the carrots) ...

[bangs]

bangsthat does not cut anything
read both German and English (there is more) Amazon

But with reviews on any occasion like - if 90% are negative, then it's bad, and if at least 50/50, not to mention 60/40 or 70/30 in favor of good, then you can take

I was amused by the video on YouTube about the kitchen. Kenwood car with criticism.
People chopped the meat in a meat grinder, put them into the food processor with their hands, and with the same hands in the meat try to turn the speed wheel. So that's a terrible flaw in the kitchens. machines that the wheel is not shod with rubber, because the hands slide, and even the meat is hammered into the gap between the wheel and the machine. But such a large company and an expensive car, they could have thought about it.

[Miranda]

Miranda, Kenwood does not cut someone ?! ...
And what then generally cuts ...

And as for the reviews, even when the reviews are 50-50, it is not always clear how empty or full the glass can be.
What are the cons and what are the pros ...

For example, they made fun of the lack of a rubberized wheel on Kenwood
And if the spiralizer does not cut an ordinary carrot, then this can be a problem ...

[bangs]

bangs, so the joke is that there is one review - does not cut, the second - cuts everything !, the third - did not like it, the fourth - is delighted. Etc.

Here I am delighted and I cut everything that the manufacturer guarantees
Doesn't cut - soft and lethargic. And no electro spiralizer cuts it. Perhaps the manual part will be able to.

[Miranda]

Miranda, and I am delighted, and I cut everything that the manufacturer guarantees ... Kenwood.

As for the "hand" ones, those that I have, they do not cut what Gemlux does not cut (so far from what I cut).

Although Spiromats seem to cut peppers, cabbage, and onions (I saw some kind of test on the Internet), but for these purposes I have something to cut ...
So I was only looking for vegetable / fruit spaghetti ...

we still have a few lat ago, this one appeared

a little expensive, but I like the Cross more. Buy something
Ladies! Can fruits and vegetables be planed into the dryer on this unit?

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, I think it will take a long time, the power is small.
Yesterday I made a salad of carrots and apples, it turned out to be a mountain simply, but not quickly, like in a large food processor.

Today I tried to make the Tsvetaevsky apple pie, but since I was going to make it about 4 days ago, the apples have already had time to mature and become, alas, loose, so only one apple was “ground off” and two conference pears, since the other three apples (for the pie ) turned into almost mashed potatoes (in a cone with blades), which went (+ remaining pieces) to the filling, but not in the form of spirals ...

But actually, the spirals (of what happened to grind off) in the prepared cake were slightly visible and slightly felt ... not tough, no, they just felt ...
(therefore no photo report).

And KENWOOD, by the way, recommended using HARD small apples, HARD little pears (but in this case it turned out to follow the recommendations (and, by the way, I found it tastier with pears)).

[bangs]

bangsAll manufacturers recommend solid foods.
You can't cut anything loose and sluggish. Even on a simple grater, sluggish carrots rub badly. Obvious things.

[Miranda]

Miranda, agree ...
Apparently, I placed the accents in the wrong place ...
I remembered yesterday's conversation about negative reviews, so I did not immediately, but decided to "report back" and focus on my (!) Mistake so that others would not repeat and count on a different result if they suddenly decided to ignore the manufacturer's recommendations and / or (like me) hope at random and what will suddenly turn out.

No, it won't work (although one apple from the same faded batch was even ground off, which can also characterize the machine!).

After all, I made Tsvetaev's "apple" pie with conference pears (using the blade on "9") ...
It turned out well, very ... fruity and pear, as I always wanted (and I added only 4 tablespoons of sugar to the sour cream filling (instead of a glass according to the recipe)) ...

And how does it taste? Other? Better / Worse?

[Miranda]

Miranda, it tastes better for me ...

And I liked this execution of this cake using a spiralizer more: on the one hand, there seems to be a lot of fruits, but on the other hand, they somehow become softer, baking in the form of "stripes" in this filling ...

Now you still need to try to make apples with apples.

[bangs]

bangsI'll have to try

[Natasha]

Natasha, you have got some indecent beauty!
we have, as luck would have it, inexpensive spiral cutters disappeared somewhere

[Vika]

Vika, Thank you ...
It is a pity that such spiral beads have disappeared, I hope that it is temporary, and will still appear, otherwise it cannot be, because well, it is a very interesting and useful thing!
Every day I "sharpen" something on it ...

Every day I "sharpen" something on it ...

I also
Zucchini yesterday, carrots today.

[Miranda]

Miranda, and I also typed in the store and zucchini, and kohlrabi (I haven't done anything with it yet), I often “sharpen” beets "in Korean" ...

For going to the store, where you can collect the vegetables / fruits yourself, I made myself a ring from a plastic bottle (I picked up the appropriate diameter and cut off a part of about 1 cm wide, glued with tape (which is "aluminum")), and so pears for myself and I was typing, otherwise the last time (when I was kneading with apples) I had to adjust the pear, as Ilmirushka said, in its widest part ...

[Vika]

Vika, waved to Russia! Since they are not popular with you there

Oh, girls, I look here as rarely as possible! And you all praise and praise! All bragging and boasting! I grabbed 4 (!) Devices in a month! Well, where else ... and after all, you want this spiralizer too!

waved to Russia!

don't tell me .. only I decided on it. only dear ones remained ..

I grabbed 4 (!) Devices in a month!

wait the next month and with a clear conscience buy

I bought Silvercrest. Cool. It copes well with carrots and potatoes. A toy, of course, but cute. I cut a couple of potatoes, put them in a rice cooker, fry of water to the bottom, 5 minutes in a micron and a cool lunch, which looks like pasta, actually potatoes) a little cheese on top.
Nice, unusual.

[Lisichkalal]

Lisichkalal, but take a picture of it, please.
What are the blades in mm., How many pieces?

9mm, 5mm and 3mm blades. Only 3 attachments. If this is not enough and you need better pictures of attachments, then in the evening I will do this business from a computer.
Here is a link with a description in German.

🔗

I can also add: I personally didn’t like installing the attachments. How would you screw them. I can't get into puzzles right away. But this is not critical, just noted. But then the entire assembled structure with the attachment is very simple and easy to fix on the device.
Still, again personally to me, the lid on the bowl would not hurt.I cut the carrots, but I want to cook the soup tomorrow. I put this bowl with carrots straight in the refrigerator, but covered it with foil.
It washes very quickly and easily.

I understand ... although I have unused blades-cones in this "cup" then (generally always) lie while everything else can dry, but Silvercrest has its own "parking lot for storing attachments with blades" ...

Congratulations on your purchase! ...

[Lisichkalal]

Lisichkalal, of course, personal photos and impressions are better than descriptions on the site.

PS remove the link under the spoiler, please, she tore the thread with her enormity.

I want it too. But like a year ago I dreamed of a pancake maker that was abandoned as an idea for a gift ... What is this thing. I'll probably get it on the DR in November. Over the past year, I have also exceeded all imaginable and inconceivable plans for device addiction ... And here again the Wishlist. And it seemed that there was nothing to want.
Thank you Miranda for introducing new products!

Korean style beetroot "lazy" (Gemlux GL-SR-1003 spiralizer)



I did it several times after I got the Gemlux spiralizer ...
I did not expect that beets can be eaten almost every day with pleasure (and not under compulsion (given its all sorts of useful properties) ...

posted as a recipe, but unfortunately I did not understand how to link to it (I am ready to fix it)

[bangs]

bangs, Natalia, cool beets! Thanks for the idea!!!

[bangs]

bangs, like this.


Korean style beetroot "lazy" (Gemlux GL-SR-1003 spiralizer) (bangs)



I will do that too, thanks.
It's so nice that you have love with the device. I have love too

And then it happens so, everyone bought it on the forum, bought it too, and then it doesn't please and either lies or carries it to the flea market.

[lettohka ttt]

lettohka ttt-Natalya, I hope she will like it too!

Miranda, thanks for the help!...

And really, love! ...
Tomorrow I want to try one more recipe-repeat (with cucumbers) ...

[Lisichkalal]

Lisichkalal, Congratulations!!!
Should I buy something else like you, otherwise I have a different one, there the cutters are not conical, but just round, oh I'll go take a picture, here. The carrots are placed down on the pin and on top of the aaparat that twists onto these prongs. Then it spins back and forth in the lower circle, does not fall off, but is uncomfortable. And for a long time. But I also bought for a try for 8 or 9 euros on ebee. Better than twisting your hands, but you won't do much, although if you have one salad for yourself, then nothing.



Well, the quality of the plastic, immediately painted over and just rinsing is not washed off, but every time you rub it with a mittel lazily.

[bangs]

bangs, Lerele, Thank you for your congratulations

Bliiin, first time I entered the lidl, there was a cutter, now I wanted to order, sold out

sold out

we also disappeared, as luck would have it ... But I don’t believe that they bought it, maybe they sent everything to France

Spiral chopper SilverCrest
3 nozzles: 3mm, 5mm, 9mm

So the nozzle is inserted (what I wrote about that it is not very convenient to put it on. Today I cut myself a little :(

This is how the attachments are stored.

There is still a bowl, but it is taken from me

[Lisichkalal]

Lisichkalal, thanks for the photo
I really like the parking, although it steals the place.

But the mount also seems not very convenient.
Especially if you need to quickly change the blade to another.

[Miranda]

Miranda, and Kenwood does not insert the nozzles the same way? In the picture, the nozzles are shaped like a cross.

I really like the parking, although it steals the place.

The door is so cool to open, very easy, like an elevator with one door

[Lisichkalal]

Lisichkalal, and such spiralizers hardly differ from each other in design.

Kenwood and Gemlux, and others, have the same build. Not like yours. This is yours, she is different and so far has never seen anyone else, so that everything is attached to the tube and only then to the typewriter.

In the review, I showed in detail how it is going in pictures.
First, put the blade holder (a circle with outer edges), then the blade into it, and close the lid. Changing the blade is a matter of a couple of seconds.

[Miranda]

Miranda, Thank you for the video. Yes, Kenwound is more comfortable.
In the Cross, you can also quickly change the nozzle, only it is small and it is somewhat difficult to grab onto to twist or screw into puzzles. Also, a round bezel with ribs, into which you insert the nozzle, rotates
In any case, the slicer has much more pluses than minuses.

[Lisichkalal]

Lisichkalalcertainly more pluses!
Cool toy

So the spiralizer reached me. I am delighted! It is lightweight and quite compact, intuitive and easy to clean.
So far, they were making spaghetti from cucumbers, my husband laughed a lot, joking that now you can eat around the clock and not get fat at all. The minus for cucumbers is that there is too much liquid.
And yesterday I cooked spaghetti from a vegetable marrow. Suuupeer! Instant grinding, spirals are elastic, do not break.
It's a pity that this dish will only go for me, the boys don't eat stewed vegetables ...

In general, this is one of the coolest acquisitions turned out to be!

[Anya]

Anya, Congratulations!
And I made a spaghetti cucumber yesterday. She cut on a 3 mm nozzle, also a lot of liquid at once. She threw it into a sieve, salted it and shook it. The liquid is gone. My husband really liked it. Today I want to make a 5 mm cucumber.
Another sweet potato is on the line, I hope the children will like it.

[anna_k]

anna_k-Anya, and congratulations from me on purchasing such a device (for inspiration)!

And this is "Amber cake" apple from T. L. Tolstoy from lappl1-Lyudmila (https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in....0 ).

There was a trial version, so I did not lay out the apples with “roses”, but only put them in the center, because I thought that these efforts might not make sense: suddenly everything would be baked into “jam”.
But the drawing is visible, so next time I will lay it in "roses"-circles.

[Natasha]

Natasha, are you teasing with pies again ?!
In my opinion, this is even more beautiful than the previous one

[anna_k]

anna_k, hurray, congratulations! The dream has come true.

Yes, all of them (Kenwood, Gemluck, etc.) are pretty compact and incredibly easy to use. It even seems to me that Kenwood's nozzle will take up more space.

The zucchini are excellent. I never bought zucchini in winter, but now here. In general, we began to make more vegetable side dishes. Stewed or baked carrots with beets in color scheme look very nice. I don’t want potatoes there, but zucchini is stewed if they are together. Looking for a third color

bangs, beauty!

[bangs]

we also disappeared, as luck would have it ... But I don’t believe that I’ve bought it, maybe they sent everything to France

Exactly everything is with us! Yesterday I went to the lidl, and there is a mountain of these graters, about 10, no less. And nobody takes them, nobody needs them.



bangswhat a crazy beauty !!!



Girls, and how best to cook sweet potato spaghetti for children? Just fry in a pan? It is delicious ?

Yesterday I went to the lidle, and there is a mountain of these graters,

Baaalin ... Nobody wants here either, except me.

[Mirabel]

Mirabel -Vika, Miranda, Lisichkalal-Svetlana, thanks!

For a long time I haven't baked anything so much, but here with the spiraliznr it just seemed like a second wind opened!

Next time I will put less sugar and more apples, although finding them "the right" size is a problem!
In this respect, conference pears are a very convenient fruit of all trying on.

and how best to cook spaghetti sweet potatoes for children? Just fry in a pan?

Lisichkalal-Svetlana, I can’t say anything about this yet, since I didn’t bake either just potatoes or sweet potatoes, but from what I saw here and on the Internet, they are made in the oven (and I was going (and going to) in the GFgril GFB airfryer- 1500).

baked carrots with beets

Miranda, and bake beets with carrots as well as potatoes? and the time is the same?

and bake beets with carrots as well as potatoes?

And baked and stewed. Different to taste.
About the same, but to be honest, I didn't notice.
