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

[Miranda]

Miranda, thanks, you have to try too ...

Vegetables, "shaved" on this appliance, seem to get a different taste when cooking,
at least zucchini - for sure.

Quote: Lisichkalal from Yesterday at 18:04
Yesterday I went to the lidle, and there is a mountain of these graters,
Baaalin ... Nobody wants here either, except me.

I don’t understand this, maybe because of my preoccupation with finding this gadget at one time ...

Spiralizer ads usually show a child who refuses to eat vegetables (useful and necessary!), But happily devours them in the form of spirals made on a spiralizer.
And it's not about the presentation.

By the way, for adults, the difficulty may also be relevant in the fact that they SHOULD eat vegetables (useful and necessary!) ...
But most often they are not as tasty as useful ...

For example, many people enjoy eating pasta ... What is pasta? It's just ordinary pasta, but, as they say, it's about the sauce (s) with which these pasta / spaghetti are served ...

And as for the vegetable spiral pasta, they also absorb all sorts of sauces very well (as opposed to vegetables cut into pieces) and become very (VERY!) Tasty and edible ...

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

we have, for example, these are recipes with sweet potatoes (on spirormate) (though I'm not sure about the children that all the recipes will work, but let them be)

Sweet potato spaghetti with red pepper sauce (Gala)

and here in the comments the author wrote that you can take a sweet potato

"Waffles" from parsnip root (Gala)

and so

Crispy sweet potato chips (dopleta)

in general, it would be great to insert links to recipes in the first post - we have a lot, but for now you will find ...

[Anya]

Anya, thanks, so I want to try frying, but without sauce. I'll put the sour cream in a plate, the kid may like it)

[Gata]

in general, it would be great to insert links to recipes in the first post - we have a lot, but for now you will find ...

Gata-Anyawhen Miranda made her review of the KENWOOD FGP 203 WGЖ SPIRALIZER, she also summarized the experience gained (or part of it) of using (PS Afterword three) and posted a list of recipes, for which many thanks to her!

It is a pity that this REVIEW cannot be taken to the "bookmarks" ...

[bangs]

bangs, I'm not all the recipes, but everything that was mentioned in the topic here, and that I could find by name. I think I missed some part.

[Natasha]

Natasha, Yes, I saw. Miranda is really great, but firstly, as you noticed, you cannot bookmark the review, and secondly, I always forget that they are there and start looking again. Vaughn yesterday wanted to insert links for Sveta, immediately to the first page - there is nothing there, I went looking for a search. I am not belittling Miranda's merits, in principle, I think, you can only insert a reference to the review, so that you don't run after recipes (and be sure to indicate that there is not only a review, but also recipes). The Internet in this matter is not original Well, or I have forgotten how to use the search

I baked beets for the first time, but they didn't chop

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, I only cut the beets once - I cut myself, but it was boiled and I love its dense. How does the baked one behave and what structure it is? In principle, I just didn't cut the broccoli on it - but I really wanted to make spaghetti out of it according to Galina's recipe. bees are wrong the cabbage was not the same, or honey is not the same hands don't grow from there

Shl. I have, if anything, a manual spiromet, as in the title post.

Basically, I just didn't cut the broccoli on it

I have no idea how you can make spaghetti from broccoli, if you only leave more stalks, and how is the crown itself? It crumbles when cutting ... Or am I not talking about that?

[Ilmira]

Ilmira, look

Broccoli noodles with pine nuts, garlic and cheese (Gala)

But it didn't work out for me - the stem on top was some kind of fibrous, but for some reason it interfered, and in general it was only visible with a grater, and when you cut with a knife - normal. And he also strove all the time to fall down (it did not fix itself like other vegetables - the same carrot, for example)

[Gata]

look
Broccoli noodles with pine nuts, garlic and cheese
(Gala)
I didn't succeed

Gata, Anya, well, I just assumed that the stem can be scrolled, we only sell the tops.

[Lisichkalal]

I baked beets for the first time, but they didn't chop

Lisichkalal-Svetlana, boiled / baked I did not try to do on a spiralizer.

By the way, Miranda posted here a piece of instructions for Kenwood (page 15 of this "topic)), and they directly indicate there that boiled beets do not respond well to processing on a spiralizer, recommending the use of raw beets.

Of the "processed" vegetables, I tried to scroll only pickled cucumbers (for vinaigrette), but nothing came of it, they turned into mashed potatoes at speed, after which I could not cut them manually on a TESCOM device (I already shared it here).

manual spiromat,

but how in comparison manual and electro?
do we have a manual one, very cheap, or is it better to fork out for electric?

I don’t understand this

what do you want! This is Europe. very little. those who are concerned, in principle, with home-cooked food, especially with chopping vegetables.
bought a ready-made vegetable salad mixture, poured it with ready-made sauce, they respect the vinaigrette very much and all the cases.

This is Europe. very little. who is concerned in principle with home cooking

From foreign forums I only glance at Kenwood, there are a lot of people who bought as a kitchen. car and Kcook Multi. In the French Kenwood club, where I spy on recipes, people add more than 100 recipes a week, because there are tens of thousands of users. And the Italian club is very active. I have no feeling that in Europe they don't like to cook homemade food.

And I just like the spiralizer because everything can be done very quickly with it.

Previously, I generally did not look in the direction of zucchini, because I had no idea how to cook them deliciously, but now I sharpen them with such pleasure, as it is quick and simple, but also delicious! ...

Or the same beets (and carrots too) ... it was such an ordeal for me to scrape it on a grater, that's why I didn't scrape it, although I always knew that it was useful, I knew that I needed to eat it ... but I didn't ...

At one time I bought these salad mixtures ("fiber" after all), and now they are parallel to me ...

Yes, most of what people eat pasta with, all this can be done with vegetable spaghetti (in my opinion).

Therefore, I am surprised, perplexed because of the fact that such a noble little thing may not be in demand ...
... and therefore (due to the concerns of manufacturers about its lack of demand) I have been looking for it for so long (in the voice of V. Alentova from "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears")

I have no feeling

I agree that the French and Germans are somehow more active in cooking, here ... among my friends, only one is a little so interested in cooking, the rest are not at all. I have never met culinary videos of beljee on YouTube, and I see how they buy semi-finished products in supers, and gravits, sometimes very interesting and inexpensive, get bored.
There are very few locals on the market. even more so in the meat departments.
Well, Sveta-Chanterelle wrote that they had Lidl filled up with these cutters.

Previously, I generally did not look in the direction of zucchini, because I had no idea how to cook them deliciously, but now I sharpen them with such pleasure, as it is quick and simple, but also delicious! ...

I eat zucchini, but somehow thermally processed, but in the form of spaghetti ... I don't know how to eat them.Girls, how do you cook them? I ask because the machine is also nice!

I eat zucchini, but somehow thermally processed, but in the form of spaghetti ... I don't know how to eat them. Girls, how do you cook them

And I thermally process them (and they don't boil too much, they keep the shape of spaghetti), I did it yesterday, I wanted to report it in the form of a recipe, but everything was "stolen", tomorrow (or today) I'll try again ...

[Mirabel]

Mirabelmaybe the Belgians are like that.
But, by the way, there are also many in the Czech Republic. When I studied there, many Czech friends, I was visiting - everyone is cooking. And when the holidays are big, since undermined, a million traditional dishes and everything needs to be cooked, I felt sorry for the women. Teskoma is not just Czech.

bangsyes, zucchini went straight
Today I did it again. In the photo there is 1 mediocre zucchini. The disc is 2x2mm, but I realized that I like it wider. The thinner the zucchini, the more liquid. But the beets are just more than 2x2.

Girls, how do you cook them?

I fold it back at first and squeeze it a little, otherwise a lot of water will be in the pan. Well, I fry it lightly, for a very short time. Sometimes I throw garlic into hot oil before zucchini, I can still have some herbs, I can fry onions. We'll see how it goes.

[Miranda]

MirandaDo they fried quickly, do not burn?

[Cirre]

Cirre, fast, minutes 4 + -. Do not burn unless the fire is too big. But they can fry

Girls, and on a steam, in a double boiler, no one tried to boil these spaghetti? Do you think this method will work? Nuuu, that is, it seems they should not fall apart, etc. ...
And the second question: has anyone considered such a spiralizer? As I understand it, the reviews on it are not bad, there are a lot of nozzles for glazing (as I like). But we don't sell. Amazon, KU ..... Severin KM 3923

Gata, Anya, well, I assumed that the stem can be scrolled, we only sell the tops.

When I cut off all the inflorescences, I still have a stem, just like Gali's.

but how in comparison manual and electro?
do we have a manual one, very cheap, or is it better to fork out for electric?

I have never had an electro spiralizer, so I can only say about my own - it cuts easily, I don't press on this handle from the side, but rather hold it. I cut - apples (including soft ones. Soft ones are not very breaking, but hard norms), pears (similarly), radishes (short and the middle is a pity), cucumbers, zucchini (my favorite because I generally I love and love to boil pasta and mix with squash spaghetti, I tried it with cucumbers - a little bit different - they are sharper), carrots, beets, turnips, radish (green), potatoes. Look like that's it
I made soup with such vegetables, just like different vegetable spaghetti, scalded, lightly fried and that's it. I wanted to make a salad with boiled potatoes, but I was distracted and it became boiled. Not tasty, but somehow I didn't want to. Just salads in various combinations of raw vegetables. The middle goes into soup, the second or somewhere else - I cut with thin washers. Cool apples were in the form of roses. The graters are sharp - when I was the last time soap - I waved my hand unsuccessfully and not deeply and not much along the teeth, but lightly and in a swing. Cut yourself in the process - only if you try. Velcro is strong. Only here they are not cheap at all, I just bought it a long time ago and I can't say what for a penny.

Girls, and on a steam, in a double boiler, no one tried to boil these spaghetti?

Cooked potatoes - it turned out fine.

[Gata]

Gata, Anya, you cut so many things ... it's all about the size you need to select! Please write down the size of the neck of the spiralizer. As far as I understand it is not round, but in the form of an oval or?

[Ilmira]

Ilmira, I have a Spiromat from Westmark, there is no neck and there is no need to select anything special, and it is horizontal. Look, he was in the very first post of this topic.

I would like to use it more, but I have a slowdown on recipes ...

[Anya]

Anya, but how, I just inattentively read

Yesterday was a day of failure. Silver Crest failed with sweet potatoes and kohlrabi. Probably the problem is in the pusher.He has a rather small plastic tip on which the vegetable is planted. Batat and kohlrabi held on to them badly and jumped off. Or hands do not grow from there. In kenwood, it seems to be metallic.
Yesterday I just thought about a manual spiralizer. Seems to have seen for 28 euros. Something electric (potatoes, carrots, cucumber, zucchini), and something manual (sweet potato, kohlrabi, turnip)
By the way, I fried sweet potatoes for children (grated on a berner for Korean carrots). Delicious) the children liked it. Sweet, a bit like carrots, but different taste. And so bright, orange)

[Anya]

Yesterday I just thought about a manual spiralizer

Yes? do you think it will be good? we have in the lead, 15 euros. But I am afraid that I will be lazy to collect and disassemble it.
Anya, And I thought you both had spiralizers. Thanks for the detailed answer!
How do you cook turnips? I don’t even buy it.
and the same exciting question-disassembly-assembly and care for him does not bother?

[Lisichkalal]

Silver Crest failed with sweet potatoes and kohlrabi. Probably the problem is in the pusher. He has a rather small plastic tip on which the vegetable is placed. Batat and kohlrabi held on to them badly and jumped off.

On my Gemlux, the tip of the holder is also plastic, and it also happens that something falls off (somehow the zucchini could not resist, the apple too) ...

But I just put this vegetable / fruit without a holder, and then I installed the holder in the same cutter that was formed and everything was cut normally, it never flew off ...
Then the "cone" was already pulled out on the holder, and if it remained in the funnel of the blade, then it removed the neck and pulled out these remnants.

I use the holder precisely so that it holds vegetables / fruits in the process of cutting, and loading is already, let's say, secondly ...

By the way, I somehow tried to deceive the system, and put a vegetable (beet) on a narrow fork in order to scroll more, and so, I could not hold the fork, it got out of my hand and began to spin with the vegetable, so for me the holder is first of all keeps the vegetable in the cutting process.

Lisichkalal-Svetlana, maybe your spiralizer will be rehabilitated ...

Girls, and on a steam, in a double boiler, no one tried to boil these spaghetti?

So I made a spiral vinaigrette, cut everything raw, and then boiled it for a couple. All OK.

In kenwood, it seems to be metallic.

No, there are plastic pins.

the holder primarily holds the vegetable during the cutting process.

I also tried to cheat once. And I realized that there are ribs in the holder for a reason, which must be aligned with the grooves in the tube. Obviously, a strong impact, and the ribs in the groove as a lever do not allow the vegetable to "escape".

The sweet potato and kohlrabi were wide and I cut them into 3-4 pieces. So when the vegetable was already inside the grater, then I just couldn't put it on the holder. Maybe this is a mistake? And nothing worked with the fork.

we have in the lead, 15 euros. But

For 15 I would take. I have never seen them here.

Girls, do you think such a spiral cutter is convenient?

[bangs]

bangs, cool!
You are an inventor

[Miranda]

Miranda, Thank you!...
It is, however, delicious and very fast (and better and easier (in every sense) than with lentils) ...
(and I couldn't make a link to the recipe (again)).

[bangs]

bangs, near the Print button there are two buttons on the left - a picture and a plate (a link with a large picture and a link with a small one). You have to click on them. Previously, a window opened where you had to copy the link. And now the button works automatically. That is, you clicked on the button and the link is already copied in the clipboard, just paste it where you want it.

Try to click there, and then edit the post.

Miranda, thank you very much !
Everything worked out...

You have the talent to say simply about something that is not simple for everyone (not everyone is given this!)

[bangs]

bangs, well! Thanks for the recipe

Girls, do you think such a spiral cutter is convenient?

Vika, for this money you can buy an electric Kenwood

🔗

And manual ones cost around 20 euros.

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, Thank you. Brightwing! so what if this mechanical one is more convenient

[Vika]

Vika, It is more convenient to press the button, and not to pull it with your hands

It is more convenient to press the button, and not to pull with your hands

I think so too, I didn't even have the patience to watch the video to the end ...

Although, each comes from its own needs.
I didn't even consider mechanical for myself, although I was tempted by Joseph Joseph "Spiro" (but this, perhaps, out of despair, since Kenwood refused to supply us with his toy).

And for Gemlux, I didn't have to rehort vegetables / fruits to fit the width of the neck yet, I should try ...

I got another mechanical one, it seems like the sixth, I got it as a gift!

And I'm all in thought. On Amazon electric mass, of various modifications - from $ 20 to $ 60, it is not a problem to buy. I also rarely use mechanical ones - so, to decorate something. Although my spiromat is perhaps the oldest on the forum, but by God, for cooking - I don't see a fundamental difference between a chopped spiralizer and an electric grater. So I haven’t decided yet whether to want it or not. In any case, until he itching at all, as is usually the case.

I had one, I gave it to my mother and, as an advertisement, also took zucchini, cut on it and cooked like spaghetti ...

This thing was not designed for my scale, as well as Joseph Joseph "Spiro".

Now I use Gemlux every day, it helps a lot to cook vegetables / fruits delicious ...

Here again I got beets (of the right size) ...

But I know for sure that with a mechanical one I would not frolic so much, and I did not look in this direction (during my "hunt"): there are many (for me) component parts.

Electric ones cut faster, and the fact that I watched videos with mechanical ones (I spied on the recipes) does not seem so fast to me.

And with an electric one - 2-3 minutes and everything is cut.

I support.

I would play the manual one from time to time, if I hadn't forgotten at all, and the electric now, like a second knife, is always at hand. You need to peel the vegetables anyway, it's just the same as going to cut, but put it in the spiralizer, and in 2 minutes, really 2 minutes, cut everything - very good. fast and convenient. And until the spirals are tired.

I even think that the attachment will not be as convenient as a separate device, especially if the car is turned. When I go to the low-speed jack, I have to turn the car 90 degrees.

And I just like the spiralizer because everything can be done very quickly with it. Or the same beets (and carrots too) ... it was such an ordeal for me to cut it on a grater
Yes, most of what people eat pasta with, all this can be done with vegetable spaghetti (in my opinion).
Therefore, I am surprised and perplexed because such a noble little thing may not be in demand ...

No one disputes the fact that an electric spiralizer is faster than a mechanical one! I have doubts if it is necessary when there are many mechanical spiralizers and electric rods.

If I had the same size and ease of assembly / disassembly, I would buy a grater.

[Miranda]

Here! This is what I wanted to hear! Thank you, Miranda !

[dopleta]

dopleta, I take out electric graters and shredders only for large volumes, I rub / cut into borscht with my hands. The spiralizer was the first electric chopper / grater / cutter, etc. for vegetables, always at hand.

Even small harvesters are not that good.It's cool that it is cut into a bowl, which I immediately took, you do not need to unscrew anything, remove the disc, unhook it from the motor base, put it all somewhere. The bowl is just under a grater-disk, I took it, threw it out of it into a frying pan or into the oven. In the meantime, it began to prepare there, in 1 minute I washed the bowl (after all, it is not greasy, just vegetables / fruits), washed the disc.

Convenience, speed, simplicity, small size are the main factors.

And there are also secondary, important ones, but without the first they would not have shot like this - they began to eat more vegetables, they began to cook them more varied (fry, stew, steam, in the oven). One carrot is a visually huge plate, for some reason you are full of it.

Well, and also - spaghetti spirals, besides being tasty (but here from the product and how they cooked it), they are also aesthetic. They are really nice to eat.

And still, I'm sorry, these arguments are not convincing for me yet. Convenience, speed, simplicity, small size - many electric vegetable cutters have such advantages. Aesthetics - I agree. But it is preserved to a greater extent with raw vegetables, and after heat treatment there is no significant difference between "spiralized" and "electrically cut" ones. IMHO. In the taste for sure. Grated carrots take up a full plate and being grated in a matter of seconds with a spiromat. I would very much like to "get sick" with an electric spiralizer, but no matter how hard I try, I still cannot get infected.
