Gefu Spirelli Spiral Cutter

super einfach zu bedienen der Gefu Spiralschneider. Ich benütze ihn bisher für Zucchinispaghettis und alles andere noch nicht ausprobiert. Der Spiralschneider ist sehr stabil, das Reinigungsbürstchen habe ich bisher selten benützt.

We have only used this spiralizer three times but it works great and thought I should add my two cents... It is VERY easy to use. It doesn't need directions. Insert the carrot or zucchini/courgette into the spiralizer just as you would insert a pencil into a pencil sharpener. Put it straight in and not along the side with cutter. It will get to the cutter after you give it a couple of turns. I don't find the cap very useful and don't stick your fingers inside of the unit because the blades are REALLY sharp. When it gets down to the end of the vegetable and there's not enough sticking out, I stick a fork into the end and then, grasping the fork tines close to the veggie, I continue turning and end up with just a little nub of the carrot or whatever left. I either pop this leftover into my mouth, cut it up, or set it aside for a different use... No problem. Besides this little nub, you will also have the core. This is about the size of a pencil. Either take a knife to it lengthwise to cut it into fine strips or use it as is... There's nothing to complain about except some folks think they must... Something like this Corn On the Cob holder/skewer would work much better than a fork 12pc Large Corn-on-the-Cob Holders Skewers and I will add this to my next Amazon order. Another plus is that it takes up very little of our limited kitchen space. We are very happy with our Gefu Spirelli Spiral Cutter. ==> UPDATE: The corn cob skeweres didn't work as well as expected (the 2 prongs were just not strong enough) so I'll just use a small fork in the end of the carrot when it gets down too far for my fingers. Don't use the fork handle to twist the veggie... Grasp the fork as close to the veggie as possible so not to induce "wobble" as Black Adder would say!

I love this wee gadget. I eat quite a low carb diet and as such sometimes miss spaghetti with my bolognese but this allows me to have a substitute. Really easy to use with carrots and courgettes. I imagine cucumber would cut well in this too but haven't tried that yet. Nice to be able to have my veggies in a different form and texture. Easiest way to clean this is with one of those dish brushes, difficult to get into the teeth otherwise. Only negative point is the top piece that is supposed to grip onto the end of the veg you are cutting. It's pretty useless. We tend to just stick a fork in the end of the veg we are cutting and turn it instead. This allows you to get further down the veg as well.

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

Petit accessoire très utile en cuisine.
