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

[dopleta]

dopleta, I have no task to convince you

About the difference between grated and spiral, I agree only about beets. Just grated zucchini / zucchini, carrots, potatoes - not that. Neither by sight, nor by taste, nor by desire to eat it. This is if I understood correctly that you are just talking about a grater (manual or electric).

And if about hand-held devices that cut spirals, then, of course, there is no final difference. Here the difference is only in the effort and time spent. For some vegetables, a handheld device is even better. Bell peppers, for example, cannot be cut with electricity.

and the same exciting question-disassembly-assembly and care for him does not bother?

No, everything is simple there - pull out the graters and pull out the push part and that's it. It is easy to clean, there is storage space for the graters at the bottom (but, unfortunately, only for 2, one must be stored on the grater itself.) The plastic is pleasant, smooth, nothing sticks to it. The pin of the holder is metal, but on the pusher there are plastic pins and a very soft product can fly out of them (this is how my apple fell).

About turnips. I just like it, raw love, therefore often goes to salads (well, when there is). I like its sweetish, slightly spicy taste. But I think I saw Admin puree and potatoes. I think it can be done not in the form of mashed potatoes. But I haven't tried it yet - but already 3 pcs. lie at home, waiting in the wings. Besides, I have a recipe for a liver with it.

I would really like to "get sick" with an electric spiralizer, but no matter how hard I try, I still cannot get infected

Here I am at a crossroads. No, as a new interesting toy I want, I understand everything about uniqueness, speed, convenience and aesthetics. I am confused by another thing, if you can cut any vegetable with graters, manual spiralizers, then the limitation here is the throat of the apparatus. This is to go shopping and ... measure everything ... or at home to specially select "this is in soup, this is cut in a spiralizer", somehow it annoys me, maybe I got confused with this for nothing.

Here is my “collected works” (+ also the one that I gave my mother) for six months (a little more), while I was racing and was able to buy an electric spiralizer.


I also have a Kenwood KVC504 Chef Sense, that is, complete with a grater-slicer.

Also - blender Bamix SUPERBOX M 200, that is, the one with the processor and SliceSy graters.

BUT most often I use and want to use a spiralizer.

I understand everything about uniqueness, speed, convenience and aesthetics.

Speed, convenience are a priority for me (which cannot be said about manual spiralizers (for which I spent the same amount of money (if not more (but it did not stop me) until I could buy an electric one)).

As for aesthetics, the most important thing for me is that vegetables are tastier due to the fact that the spirals are better saturated with sauces, spices ... And they become so tasty-edible (as is the case with ordinary Italian pasta, when it is about sauce (and only in it (as a rule)) ...

We all ate carrots in Korean (I also made it on a spiralizer), but the main thing is the dressing sauce in which this carrot is cooked, and due to its such cutting, it is better saturated with this dressing.

This is the choice, of course, of everyone, what he needs and why he needs.

Vegetables have definitely begun to be eaten more often and in large quantities, since the electric spiralizer combines speed, convenience, simplicity and, as a result, deliciousness quickly and a lot ...

I would play the hand one from time to time, if I had not forgotten at all, and the electric now, like a second knife, is always at hand.

I fully support!

Nobody argues that an electric spiralizer is faster than a mechanical one! I have doubts if it is needed in the presence of many mechanical spiralizers and electric wires

It turned out to be necessary for me, more than anything that was bought before him ...
There were no mechanical ones (I knew for sure that it was not my option), but manual ones ... at least open the store now.

the limitation here is the throat of the apparatus.

That's a limitation for me too. You don't need to pick up a vegetable on a manual one, that's why I thought about using a manual one to help an electric one. But while I think I haven't decided to buy it yet. Although I liked one option, it adds up.

but tame ones ... at least open the store now.

Oh, but it didn't even occur to me to call sharpeners spiralizers, let alone "sharpen" spirals for cooking with them. I have five of them, different. But exclusively for jewelry.
And as for the narrow throat, I found this one on Amazon, with a wider throat, and even with blender inserts. I will probably buy it. Although still not sure of the need, rather, for now, I am sure of the opposite.

[Larissa]

I found this one on Amazon, with a wider throat, and even with blender inserts

Larissa, well, yes, an interesting option. I am also suffering, I do not know who to join "smart, or beautiful."

Oh, but it didn't even occur to me to call sharpeners spiralizers, let alone "sharpen" spirals for cooking with them. I have five different ones. But exclusively for jewelry.

This is not only what I call them, but also sellers and manufacturers (with the exception of Tescoma), positioning them for cooking vegetables, including Tescoma.

For example, Joseph Joseph "Spiro" for sale Joseph Joseph "Spiro" spiralizer grater, three blades, with storage container.

Spiral knife for vegetables "Gefu", vegetable cutter "Spirelli" GEFU (stands as my Gemlux), but also called a vegetable cutter SALTER SPIRALIZER ...

Tescoma "Presto Carving" strip cutter (very well suited for one or two medium carrots), Tescoma "Presto Carving" strip cutter (fruit and vegetable cutter (designed for cutting cucumber, carrot, radish, etc.) . e)).



And all this is recommended for cooking vegetables, but not as a decorator for vegetables (this is also offered for sale)

And as for the narrow throat, I found this on Amazon, with a wider throat, and even with blender inserts

I watched the video, followed by another one:



She scoffed, however, there madam over a spiralizer of the Gemlux / Kenwood type: I did not think to first attach the zucchini, and then turn on the machine ...

I confirm that the spiralizer is convenient. I just cut a daikon in a minute, another 30 seconds to wash the nozzle. I put the bowl from the grater in the refrigerator, in the evening just fill it and the salad is ready.
I have a small Moulinex grater. Do not use. But with this grater with pleasure.

[Ilmira]

I am also suffering, I do not know who to join "smart, or beautiful."

Ilmira, I understand you very well...
I've been looking at the topic "Device for making mini-samsa from Princess Samboussa maker" (generally "from the bushes"), read and realized that this unit is definitely not for me (well, it may not be easy to clean (with all its possible advantages ).

I confirm that the spiralizer is convenient. I just cut the daikon in a minute, another 30 seconds to wash the nozzle.

And there is...
And we have zucchini again, but "in Chinese": fried chopped garlic, ground ginger, then chopped zucchini;
stewed, soy sauce, liquid honey, "oyster" sauce ...
yummy ...

I watched the video, followed by another one:

I watched this video, listened ... This is, of course, an advertisement for the most expensive and bulky of them Veggie Bullet.... And I still don’t see a big advantage of electro- over spiramat. Unless if you cut vegetables in kilograms. And they cut one daikon or zucchini almost at the same speed (it should be taken into account that the girl, as she herself admitted, took the spiromat in her hands for the first time - we cut many times faster). Pressing the piston from above with sufficient force or rotating the handle with almost no force is everyone's choice.

[Natasha]

I understand you very well ...

Natasha, to me on "you"

[Miranda]

Pressing the piston from above with sufficient force or rotating the handle with almost no force is everyone's choice.

By the way, the effort just does not need to be applied (I even caught myself thinking this, when for some reason I began to press my palm on the holder from above when sharpening an apple, there is no need for this).

You can (and should) just hold the piston-holder with your fingertips,
because correctly noticed Miranda

it is not just that there are ribs in the holder, 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".

But again, this is everyone's choice: mechanical or electrical.

And in that video, despite the obvious hype for this Veggie Bullet, it also compares, albeit not in parallel, mechanical versus what Kenwood / Gemlux is essentially producing.

In general, I cannot understand why this madame almost falls on him like that ...
In general, everything is spinning without effort ...

to me on "you"

Agreed (as well as to me on "you").

Girls and your apples are cut by an electric Hemlux which?

the limitation here is the throat of the apparatus.

yes, I think about it too. But I will soon have a life in 2 houses, that's probably the very thing to have both of them.

And I still don’t see a big advantage of the electro- over the spiromat.

here I am too. probably you still need to use both in order to understand the beauty of electric. But then again .. we are not going to make tons of these beautiful curls.

probably you still need to use both in order to understand the beauty of electric

Exactly. Therefore, I will probably buy it. But with a big throat.

your apples are cut by an electric Hemlux which

cuts, how ...
here I was grabbing an apple from T. L. Tolstoy cooked with his help "Amber cake"

[bangs]

bangs,
Natasha, class ... 👍👍👍 ...., I seem to be groaning, crushing apples and that's it ...
And what kind of apples did you take or maybe they somehow need to be cut off smaller ..., in general xs, but nothing came of it, everything else cuts with a bang ...

It seems to me that the tame one will be too lazy to turn the handle

[dopleta]

dopleta, I do not like it when vegetables seem to be spinning on an even grater, although I have a smaller circle with knives, but I am directly annoyed by this crunching on the grater.
Therefore, either I'll wait for the Lidlovsky, or I'll take Kenwood for myself all the same.



Lisichkalal, I bought a spiromat as a gift for the child, we both tried to rub carrots on it, then it fell out, then there were a lot of leftovers, I went back. Plus, the disassembly assembly and space would be decent. Therefore, I bought an electric one to try it, much better than a manual one, although my device is not so convenient, but I will never take a manual one.

crumple apples and that's it ...
And what kind of apples did you take or maybe they somehow need to be cut off smaller ...

The very first time, when I was going to make another Tsvetaevsky apple pie, my apples were also crumpled, because I took loose apples, and then, according to the recommendations of KENWOOD, I took hard apples, I don’t know which variety, I just typed in our local Auchan -Attack ... And we got spirals, I sharpened them on a grater with the largest blades.

[bangs]

bangs,
Thank you Natasha, I understood ...., I had an idea that it is because of loose apples that spirals do not turn out, I'll take hard ones, I'll try again ...: girl_wink: m

It seems to me that the tame one will be too lazy to turn the handle

But it didn’t seem to me, I was and is still sure that I was too lazy to turn the handle ...

Plus, the disassembly assembly and space would be decent. Therefore, I bought an electric one to try it, much better than a manual one, although my device is not so convenient, but I will never take a manual one.

support ...

I'll take hard ones, I'll try again ...

Everything will work out
Conference pears also go very well, because they can be long and harsh, they make a very tasty Tsvetaevsky pie with them.

[Larissa]

probably buy. But with a big throat.

Larissa, Spiral chopper (slicer, spiralizer) for cutting vegetables and fruits # 405 do you want this? How much does it cost there?

Either I'll wait for Lidlovsky, or I'll take Kenwood for myself all the same.

Ira! and what to expect, here Sveta gave a link to Kenwood, a very beautiful price.

Two thoughts worked for me in buying an electric one.
1.I will definitely not turn the handle on manual
2. Manual on the plane takes place. I don't care how much space is in height, but it's a pity on the plane. Plus beauty, that is, I will not keep the manual in sight, which means that it is not at hand. And I rarely use everything that is not at hand. Therefore, I looked at the submersible blender with a parking base.

Well, Kenwood, because I had an opportunity from Kiev, and I knew that I would buy the 4th disc, and then I would also buy the 5th one when the nozzle was sold everywhere. And in general, two Kenwoods - good. They are from the kitchen. a car like an older and younger brother (in reality, he stands in a different place, I put it next to the photo)

[Ilmirushka]

And how much does it cost there?

Ilmirushka, spiralizers of this level are about all the same - from $ 20 to $ 40. The one that I showed - $ 29. Without blender - $ 22:

Such, like Gemlux - $ 21:
Another similar one - $ 31:

This one with a large capacity for $ 30:

A lot of them. Well, more volume and more power are already more expensive, starting from $ 40 and above.

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, yes, I just changed the dishwasher, the staff started to mow, or rather, its lid does not hold something well, the vacuumator is dead, the standing mixer no longer connects to the chopping part, the pin fell off on it, the cousin is under repair, so I think that first turn, that in the second, oh, I forgot to bake the princess to bake the pizza, I don't have a piece of the lid on it, dropped it for a long time, but so far it works
Aaaaaaa, I had to buy a new computer, my Apple died, I wait for days for delivery.
I crash

[Lerele]

Oh and wow Lerele ! Yes ... "This is a fiasco, bro!" (C)

[Larissa]

Larissa, thank you, Larisa. I already ran a little with one eye, I didn't read everything, but in two copies I saw that their throat was "large" as much as 6.5 cm, I'm already sitting on paper this "big throat" I draw, well, a carrot-zucchini-eggplant will crawl through, and bits-potato-apples - all this is necessary to look for the size.

whole 6.5 cm

almost the same, by the way, and the Gemlux:

the same number, by the way, for the Gemlux:

Well, they are all the same in this regard.

[Lerele]

Lerele, Ira! well, there are such periods. everything will grind and settle.
We have moved for more than 2 years now, but we are all "stormy" and not everything can be bought instantly. The most important thing. do not freak out much!

[Miranda]

I needed a way to introduce vegetables (and more) into the diet, but so that they would also be tasty, edible, and it would also be simple and easy to cook them: with as little effort as possible (while the device in care would be unpretentious) ...

This is what caused my hunt!

Gemlux (thanks next Miranda for a tip) fully meets my expectations, and perhaps even exceeds them (I did not expect that it would fit into the interior that way, since it lives on the kitchen table (both in size and in color) ...

like a second knife - always at hand.

Mechanical spiralizers are not mine (I would have to look for a place for it (in the closet, where I would have to get it from), I would have to wash all these components every time, and I was not going to sharpen pepper, cabbage using a spiralizer (I even Joseph Joseph "Spir" eventually became not interesting even for zucchini)) ...

I will not keep the manual one in plain sight, which means that it is not at hand. And I rarely use everything that is not at hand

(when I saw Kenwood on the Internet, I had a lot of joy, but not for long, since they were not going to deliver it to us (I hope so far).

Lerele, it happens sometimes ... everything will work out (sometimes, when this happens with things, you think that if problems were destined to happen, then even with things (although you feel sorry for them)).
And the spiralizer, the time will come, it will still serve you ...

And in general, two Kenwoods - good. They are from the kitchen. car like an older and younger brother

Good brothers!

[dopleta]

dopleta, Mirabel, bangs, ladies, so I'm calm, already laughing and waiting for what else will fly. But thanks for your sympathy.
Vic, but I, too, after the move, is still “not myself”, I don’t remember where that lies, I remember that there is a thing, I don’t remember where
Then I bought a ring for the cake, I did not find the old one, I was looking for something else, and, a silicone mold, but I found that in a week.

And I have a sprolizer for the first time, it works for me, I don’t like the fact that he has a twist like in a standing mixer, the upper part turns, and a vegetable is put on it, and the lower part of the vegetable stands on a grater and now crawls along her, there is no bell, so if the carrot is long, then it's uncomfortable, I'm still afraid that the carrot will fall. But it still cuts well. So I'll buy a normal one for me, but a little later.
And then I also paid for my vacation, and somehow I have no time for it yet

and I, too, after the move, is still "not myself"

do not say .. that's exactly how it is.
and the fact that you do not despair is the most important thing. And vacation is sacred and obligatory.

And here is the electric spiroom:

[dopleta]

dopleta, wow, he also cleans!
Pretty!

This is what I would have bought if I had not already.
What price?

[Miranda]

39$, Miranda... I also look at him. But I have an electric cleaner. And fur. a spiralizer with a cleaner too.

[dopleta]

dopleta, I don't have a cleaner.
But I don't really need it, but I would unload my mother. Sometimes I think about it, but I haven't seriously googled it yet.

[Larissa]

Larissa, well, this is a more serious machine. And for the shipment, probably the same, right?

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, sorry, frankly, I don’t know about the shipment - I have the opportunity to buy directly.

interesting...
how to take care of him?
For example, how to wash the canvas on which this socket with a blade walks, the hook socket itself? Is she filming?

[Larissa]

I have the option to buy directly.

Larissa, is it possible to make friends with you in this regard, or is it not very convenient for you?

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, so you didn’t take into account that he was on a different voltage! A fairly expensive step-down transformer is required. And I have it, because there is a lot of similar equipment.

[Larissa]

did not take into account that he is on a different voltage! A fairly expensive step-down transformer is required. And I have it, because there is a lot of similar equipment.

yes, I did not take it into account, I remember, I remember that you already said about it



Larissa, give me a reference, please, at least I'll look at its name, but suddenly somewhere like Ali I get caught.

Look, What little thing Nutribullet has released! Well done!

The price is still inhumane

🔗

Take a look

Sveta, so we just yesterday, on page 21, looked at him in a commercial!

[dopleta]

dopleta, Larisa, that's what it means to look into the topic and not look at the previous pages


Sorry

Plus, the disassembly assembly and space would be decent.

Well, it does take up space, but I don't think it's much more than electric (and again, depending on which one). But about disassembly I did not understand at all - what is there to disassemble ???

In general - to each his own. Everything suits me.
