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

Yes, Marina, but of course - this is the main blade.

[win-tat]

win-tat, and where did you buy a mechanical one?

but already tomorrow,

Of course. I will wait. Is the blade without teeth just a wide band?

Yes, Anya, spiral tape.

[dopleta]

dopleta, Larissa, then I don't know what the differences are. The dimensions are not written on the box.




only names on the box

[Anna]

in three there is no blade without teeth,

Yes, and also with small teeth and a little larger.

to take or not

Anna, to take, lightweight, quite compact, the knives are really sharp, the suction cups are good, they do not ride on the tabletop, the main thing is to adjust the pressure handle (which is on the side), the thickness of the spirals will depend on this. And most importantly, any size of vegetables and fruits will do.

also looked at the celery root yesterday.

Elena , so I decided, if I can handle the celery, then I bought it for a reason.

win-tat, but where did you buy a mechanical one?

Natasha, in Ozone.

[dopleta]

dopleta, Larissa, then I don't know what the differences are.

Just more steps in blade sizes. For example, angelic cuts are very thin тон!

[dopleta]

dopleta, Larissa, I’ll practice on a carrot, I’ll see it better myself and show it for Anna.
I liked the angelic one on cucumber and onions.

Manual

No, such a vertical one doesn't impress me at all (except music and color). What small in height vegetables you can put there!

Galya, this is not the same. Girls show horizontal.

Girls show horizontal.

Anya, this is different. Small

[win-tat]

win-tat, Tatyana, Tanyusha! with shopping!
and if you were offered to choose, which spiral would you leave?

[Vic]

Vic, Thank you !

what spiral would you leave?

Well, it's good that I don't have such a choice. Now I will repeat what has already been said here many times.
The electric itself has not yet been tested, but judging by the reviews of our girls, it is a worthy thing, but the size restrictions are "-".
In mechanical, in theory, one "+", except that you have to twist yourself, this is "-" for those who have problems with this. Everything worked out easy for me. Therefore, probably, if I had bought it first, it would have been limited to them.
Well, now, which is subtler in electric, everything else is in mechanics. I very often make Korean carrots, because Gemlux will definitely not stand idle.

I found an interesting thing in my Bella! Look inside the round pin the vegetable is clinging to (opposite the holder):



See - there is a sharp blade with a corner mounted inside? Thanks to him, even that central, usually going to waste, "column" of the vegetable turns out to be twisted:

Larissa, it's funny!
How did you find it? More precisely, why didn't I find it earlier? Or is this pin specially extended?

And she simply did not pay attention - without looking, she took out and removed the "column" from the "curls". And only today, when the zucchini was spiraling, I picked it up and examined it. And then she looked inside the hole.

And I immediately discovered, but I thought that it was the way it should be

Pisi
In the morning I decided to finish off my pumpkin. Half remained, for a day it softened in the refrigerator and turned bright orange. Well, I think I'll cut it now! But in this half there is a very large hole in the middle and nothing happens. As you do not put the vegetable tightly on the green holder, but since there is a hole on the other side, the pumpkin falls off in a few seconds, and the thickness of the resulting spirals is simply enormous, I will cut it with a thinner knife.

Here's my carrot experiment.

The thinnest groove is 2-2.5 mm, as you can probably press the pusher.
The next one is closer to 3 mm.
Large spirals did not work, the carrots are probably like that.

[marina-mm]

marina-mm, Thank you. By eye, the difference between the subtle options is insignificant, it seems to me.It seems to me that this difference should not be reflected in the taste of the salad. The large one is not so interesting to me. I think that 3 is enough for me to be completely happy. I hope that the need to twist will not be a serious obstacle for me.

Spiral zucchini sandwiches (dopleta)

Oh, girls, I want these things too ... I don't know what, but I want to. Something while there is no strength to delve into, choose ... You write in more detail, and, most importantly, there are more photos, huh? I'll come back to myself someday, but for now I'm lying on the sidelines

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, IlmiraIlmir, I am also lying on the sidelines and my head is spinning
But, in my opinion, the saaam is cool both in terms of opportunities and for the price, it's like Larisa-Doplet's. Bella-spiral! although all the girls are so teasing all such cool guys with their cars and curls.

[Mirabel]

I am also lying on the sidelines and my head is spinning

Mirabel, Vikulya, let's lie around for a bit, the dizziness will pass ... then and ... we'll grab the very, very LOOK.

[Anna1957]

Anna1957, Anna, take your spiral cutter as soon as possible and you will be happy
I don’t know what size the one with three has, but it looks like it’s quite enough for a salad. And twisting is not stressful at all, especially to create a salad at a time. You don't seem to have a problem with the place.
For me, money turned out to be decisive, I was not ready to buy an electric Gemlux for four thousand, all of a sudden the money would be idle, and for 1300 I would easily play mechanically. And there maybe discounts will arrive

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka, here are cunning

[Belka13]

Belka13, Ol, yes, I'm already tired of stepping over my boaDstvos on the kitchen floor! I won't let you into the bedroom from the prYntsYpa, I don't want to sleep on the edge of the bed! And therefore I will wait for the most-most

You don't seem to have a problem with the place.
For me, money turned out to be decisive, I was not ready to buy an electric Gemlux for four thousand, suddenly the money would be idle, and for 1300 I would easily play with a mechanical one.

Yeah

I have no rave opinion about the mechanical Salton. It takes up more space than Gemlux, and Gemlux is easier to clean. Both spiralizers only cut hard vegetables well. Mechanical is more flimsy in design when compared to electrical.
On the mechanical one I tried to cut young cabbage today, I realized one thing that the roach must be dense, like, for example, red cabbage, I had to tinker with the young one, the roach was not dense.
The bell pepper was large, kind of hard, but when sliced ​​it gave a lot of juice, it was best cut with a slice nozzle, but the spiral turns out to be wide, I didn't want to.
The cucumber, onion and zucchini were sliced ​​without problems.
The device is stable, the legs stick to the table well, the handle is not difficult to turn.
I can definitely say that a salad cut on a spiralizer, no matter which one, mechanical or electric, is much tastier than manually or on a grater.

[marina-mm]

marina-mm, similar reasons. And where is it only for 1300? I saw it on ozone for 1700, I wanted to put it in the basket, but my toad began to whisper that first we need a vacuum sealer ...

salad sliced ​​on a spiralizer, no matter what, mechanical or electric, is much tastier than manually or on a grater.

That's how interesting)))

That's how interesting)))

And Baba Yaga is against it, at least put slippers on your head!

And Baba Yaga is against

From this place in more detail, plz.

Anya, I have already voiced my point of view on this issue😊. Already, thank God, I've spiraled enough for 6 years, and rubbed it with various graters throughout my life. And I don't think that the taste depends on whether the vegetable is rubbed with narrow straight crowbars, or with narrow and spiral ones. The blades are metal there and there, only the configuration is different.

only the configuration is different.

Well, yes, here psychology is already entering: a beautifully served dish seems tastier))

[Nathalte]

Nathalte, Natasha, I bought on Ali with delivery from Moscow, that is, quickly.Seen in this store with three blades within a thousand. With five blades there the last one took.

[marina-mm]

marina-mm, Marina, can I link to the lmchku?

[Nathalte]

Nathalte, Natasha, tomorrow I'll try to send it from the computer, it's not convenient from the phone.

And I don't think that the taste depends on whether the vegetable is rubbed with narrow straight crowbars, or with narrow and spiral ones.

Carrots grated in thin slices on a phillips grater (there is such a grater in the kit almost spaghetti, only short ones), for example, and fried carrots do not differ in taste from fried spaghetti from a spiralizer I agree. Because the same slices, only short. But if you grate carrots on the same phillips with a standard fine or medium grater, then it would not even occur to fry it as a side dish, at least I never wanted to fry such a carrot mass for a side dish.
Today I fried celery in a wok for a garnish, and crumbled the leftovers into cubes and threw them separately in the cartoon just in order to understand the difference in taste. The taste is different. Large cubes fried longer and began to taste like potatoes. And the spaghetti from the same celery fried quickly and the taste was completely different. Even my husband agreed. By the way, he liked it more from the multi, it tasted more familiar. For celery spaghetti said not ready yet.

[marina-mm]

marina-mm, Marina, Thank you

Large cubes fried longer and began to taste like potatoes. And the spaghetti from the same celery fried quickly and the taste was completely different.

We are talking about the same size of vegetables grated on different appliances, and not about one vegetable grated with knives of different sizes. Email the grater will be the same. And on hand.

[dopleta]

We are talking about the same sizes of vegetables grated on different appliances

dopleta, Larissa, I think that with the spiralizer you can more clearly feel the improvement in taste perception precisely from receiving aesthetic pleasure from what you see.

Now, if I was served with a daikon with a grater, either electric or manual, I would be against ... To put it mildly against ... Although in taste, it probably would not be much different.

precisely from receiving aesthetic pleasure from what you see

That's it. This is what I am writing about. The same potatoes, cooked in the same pan, but served decorated, seem to be tastier than the one that is not “dressed”. And trying with your eyes closed is the same thing. That is, the improvement in taste is mythical, it is in the head, not on the tongue.

I want to add my opinion on cutting vegetables.
There is a difference in consistency and that. how a vegetable behaves during heat treatment. depending on how you cut it. a . therefore, it indirectly affects, in part, his taste.
When rubbed, the carrots are cut across their length. and when chopping "julienne" - along the fibers or obliquely.
And such carrots behave differently when stewing.
But this is exclusively IMHO.

[dopleta]

And I will be the second baba-yaga, morning! Which will confuse Anya! And solely out of the kindness of your soul!

I can definitely say that a salad cut on a spiralizer, no matter which one, mechanical or electric, is much tastier than manually or on a grater.

We are talking about the same size of vegetables grated on different appliances, and not about one vegetable grated with knives of different sizes.

dopleta, Laris, in my opinion, in the first quote, it is just about “one vegetable, grated in different ways”? Well, Galina knows exactly what “specifically she meant”.

I unpacked my Salter yesterday. And hastily wound up a salad of improvised products: carrots (1/2), green radish (whole), apple (1/2), red pepper (1/2). Seasoned with salt, unrefined sunflower oil and balsamic vinegar.
It looked like it would be harsh, and my mother visiting us would not be able to cope. I did it!
I cannot think of an objective explanation yet (Anya knows, I have such a habit), but it seemed to me that in this form the salad is somehow lighter, more airy and, indeed, more easily "chewed" than the same thing, but on a large regular grater. We must also try Berner to complete the picture ...
To be fair, without a spiralizer it would not have occurred to make such a salad, I don't know why. So the element of novelty (and the accompanying production of dopamines) definitely has a positive effect on the perception of the dish.

Svetlenki, Sveta, how is your "Japanese"? I look forward to your impressions! (And you, studying the "Japanese question" did not come across why the Japanese cut vegetables with "noodles"?

And Baba Yaga is against it, at least put slippers on your head!

And I am for! I mean - for the "against"
More interesting, more aesthetically pleasing - I agree. The taste is highly doubtful.
But on HP, this is to say, where every second person feels the difference in cooked porridge in different multicooker - a crime and an encroachment on the sacred.

And for me, too, the spiral is tastier

And for me, too, the spiral is tastier

And the moderator is always right!

Gyyy

And for me, too, the spiral is tastier

And what is yours?
