Gefu Spirelli Spiral Cutter

Två storlekar, tunna och ändå tunnare. Fungerar bra på morötter.

I used to have an OXO julienne peeler and thought it did an OK job of julienning items. The teeth on that product got bent and I found it did find with the hard, outside flesh of a zucchini or squash, but not as well with the softer, seedy centers. Then someone decided it should be used as a potato peeler and it never worked right again. So I bought the GEFU Spirelli Spiral Cutter. Provided you buy 'skinnier' produce (1-2.5" diameter) items, this product works great. Keep the veggie very upright (you don't need to press the veggie up against the whole length of the cutting blade) and it will produce a lovely, long string of jullienned veggie. Zucchini and squash are a great pasta substitute. Potatoes and sweet potatoes are very pretty when roasted in the oven with a little oil, salt & pepper. I even have good success with carrots and cucumbers. For the safety conscious: I don't use the hand guard for most of the process. I tried it when the veggie got pretty small, but didn't have much success with it. When I can't spin the veggie anymore, I dice the rest and call it good. The obvious con, if you're an efficiency expert, is that there is a center core of about .25-0.5" that is waste if you choose not to dice it and cook it up as well; and the end nub of the veggie is also "waste" or diceable because it's just hard to push the whole veggie down the V shape. It comes clean mostly by running water over it. I do use a toothpick for the pesky bits that choose to hold on too tight. This item is small, easy to use, clean and store. I don't really understand user complaints of not knowing how to use it or "cheap" materials. Mine has worked fine for over 6 months with regular use. Julienning really doesn't get easier than this...

Die Zucchini dürfen nicht zu groß sein ! Perfekt und schnell in der Handhabung

Gefu Spirelli è un affettaverdure pratico e semplice da usare. Mi permette di creare ogni giorno piatti di spaghetti colorati e gustosi da servire a grandi e piccini. Devo dire che è un ottimo aiuto per proporre piatti truccati di verdure ai bambini, che talvolta non amano mangiare carote, zucchine, melanzane ecc. Con questo strumento invece partecipano alla preparazione e si divertono nel vedere le verdure trasformate nei loro piatti. Giudizio totale: eccellente! Per praticità d'uso e per soddisfazione delle aspettative di grandi e piccoli.

I use this tool every day. It works like a pencil sharpener, and your "pencils" are vegetables such as carrots and courgettes. I make courgette spaghetti every other day, and it is so easy with this small thing! It is made of solid materials, with steel inserts and sharp blades, and has 2 available sizes. I find the thicker "spaghetti" size easier to use. The middle of the vegetable doesn't get sliced, but that happens also with big chunky spiralizers. I do not know why others said it's difficult to clean, I just rinse it under running water and shake it a bit to remove the bits on the blades. Suits my small kitchen and raw vegan diet very very very well. Worth the money
