Product Description (from manufacturer)
The Very Healthy Spiral Slicer adds a healthy twist to your dishes by turning ordinary vegetables like zucchini, carrots and squash into healthy veggie noodles.
It is an innovative piece of kitchen equipment that makes slicing and eating raw vegetables easier and more convenient. The handheld tool makes spaghetti-like spirals out of vegetables in a matter of moments.
The Spiral Slicer provides a quick and convenient alternative to the more traditional methods of cutting and slicing vegetables. The tool features two blades for different thickness options, can be used straight out of the box, and does not require batteries to operate. The design of the slicer promotes ease of use and the compact size of the device minimises the required storage space.
We believe that the fun and colourful results produced by the spiral slicer will appeal to children. It is essentially a subtle way to introduce vegetables into a meal in a form that won't immediately be recognised as a vegetable. Through creating long spirals of vegetables similar to spaghetti, it makes it easy to replace pasta in meals. It provides an excellent way to get children excited about fruit and vegetables, and to effectively introduce more of these healthy foods into their diet. It will no doubt succeed in a variety of diets including low-carb, paleo, vegan and gluten-free.
Here are some Quick Tips to help you get the best out of your Very Healthy Spiral Slicer:
For Picking Vegetables:
- For the best spiralizing experience, pick vegetables that are 1 1⁄2 to 1 3⁄4 inches thick.
- Try to pick the most ripe/mature vegetables, so that they are softer.
- Try using straight vegetables with minimum bumps and bends, for best results.
For Picking Blade Size:
- For very soft and moist vegetables like cucumbers, we recommend using the side with the large cut blades.
- For very firm veggies like carrots, use the small size blades for the best results.
For Spiralizing:
- Try to apply even pressure and speed on the vegetables when twisting.
- If you feel a blockage, do not force, try to unblock with the flexible brush provided.
- Almost every time there will be a pencil-sized core remaining after the veggie is spiralized, so that the seeds are stopped from ending up on your plate.
- At the end of the spiralizing, there will be a little cone of leftover veggie which you can slice with a knife. This happens for safety reasons.
