Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I absolutely LOVE this product! As a health conscious eater, I was intrigued by reviews about making "noodles" with the Spiralizer. I rarely eat pasta anymore, and I truly miss cooking with rice noodles (key word "pad thai"). Since purchasing the Spiralizer, I've made zucchini and yellow squash "noodles" and incorporated them into my homemade sauces. This weekend, I also made sweet potato and white potato curly baked "fries". Delicious! The Spiralizer is actually sturdier than it appears. I used it for almost 2 hours, washing and cleaning it between spiralizing the veggies, and it holds up really well. The suctions stay firm on my granite counters...no sliding or moving while I used it. Later I toss all the parts in the dishwasher, and everything comes out clean and as good as new. I recently brought a veggie noodle salad to a dinner party (see photos), and it was a huge hit! Guests couldn't believe that the "noodles" were actually zucchini and yellow squash! Helpful hints: When using the noodles in a salad, I roast them in a 400 degree oven for about 8-10 minutes on a cookie sheet (turning after 5 minutes) to dry them out a bit. To make the noodles more like "pasta" in a sauce, I blanch them in boiling water for about 10-15 seconds and then immediately submerge them in ice water for a few more seconds. For my nutritional needs and for my family, this is a great value.
