| Comments |
This is
our best selling Spiral Slicer due to the price. It allows you to create angel-hair
style "pasta" out of many vegetables. |
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. |
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 has the most flexibility due to being able to create two
different sized pasta noodles.
What are the three different size
"noodles" these Slicers make?
- Angel Hair Pasta - Fine, thin 1.5mm wide strips made by the Spiral Slicer (Saladacco)
- Spaghetti Pasta - Medium 3mm wide Strips made by the Spirooli
- Linguine Pasta - Wide and Flat 5mm wide Strips made by
the Spirooli
Which Spiral Slicer is faster to use?
The Spirooli 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". |
