Veggie spiralers are gaining popularity with the healthfood movement because they allow you to make noodles out of vegetables. I use and love them, but have had a few duds, so i thought I'd compare them for you here. All of these can be obtained for ~$15-$25 depending on where you look.
Overall, I prefer the conical one, because it is sturdy, has the variety i want, and stores small. However, it is the slower of your options if you're working bulk. I use (and compared here) an all-times finest version, but suspect that all the "pencil sharpener" varieties perform similarly. it was important to me that it did flats and noodles.
How do I use this product?
I use this for julienned carrots in my curries, and flat cucumber noodles for cucumber salad. Looking for to trying a sweet potato noodle dish soon!
