our best selling Spiral Slicer due to the price. It allows you to create angel-hair
style "pasta" out of many vegetables. |
This is
a fine, delicate style tool from Japan. Its quality is high, and it works well.
It allows the most flexibility with 4 different style cuts. |
This is
the original 3-in-1 vegetable slicer. Many people prefer the horizonal cutting path
of this unit. We prefer the vertical cutting units. |
This is
fine, delicate style tool from Japan. Its quality is high, but the size is smaller
than than the other two units. It allows the most flexibility with 4 different style cuts. |
Frequently asked Questions about Spiral Slicers:
What types of produce can be used in
the Spiral Slicers?
Only hard vegetables can be used. We have had success with: Onion, Zucchini, Carrot,
Beets, English Cucumber, Turnip, Potato, Sweet Potato, Daikon Radish, Butternut Squash.
Do these slicers really make
"noodles" out of vegetables??
More technically, these slicers make long,
really long (up to 6 feet or longer!) julienne shreds out of certain kinds of vegetables.
People that eat a living / raw foods diet, like to call these "noodles"
or "pasta" since they are simply fancy, shredded vegetables. Raw
Foodists would consider these a no-cook replacement for normal pasta, which would be
cooked.
Which Spiral Slicer do you prefer?
It depends on the recipe we are preparing.
If we are making something that requires a small "Angel Hair" or
"Asian-Style" Noodle, we prefer the spiral
slicer (Saladacco) because it makes a smaller sized noodle. The Spirool allows two different style noodles to be created, a
"thicker", "heartier" noodle on the largest size and a medium sized
noodle. The Vertical Spiral Slicer and
Tsumapuro has the most flexibility due to being able to
create Angel Hair, Spaghetti and Linguine sized pasta as well as ribbon style cuts.
What are the different size
"noodles" these Slicers make?
Which Spiral Slicer is faster to use?
The 3-in-1 turning vegetable slicer is
easier/faster to use, and will allow to process the produce faster than the Spiral Slicer
(Saladacco) because you can put larger pieces of produce into the slicer at one time.
Having problems using your spiral
slicer?
Please read our
article on how to properly use the spiral slicer. We find many of our customers
do not properly use the spiral slicer correctly, and get poor results. We have
written this article to help prevent this from
happening. We originally wrote this article to help our customers use their Spiral
Slicer, but the same concepts will also work with the Spiralo Spiral Slicer.
How much is shipping?
Shipping depends on the weight of the spiral slicer and
your zip code. To get an estimate, proceed to the web page of the item and enter
your zip code in the space provided and click "go". |
