Salter BW04294 Healthy 3-Blade Fruit and Vegetable Food Preparation Manual Hand Spiralizer, White

Product Information

And, thanks to their simplicity, picking the best spiralizer can have a huge effect on the quality of the food you eat. Easy to use, simply fix the vegetable into place then use the handle to twist it through the blade making ready to cook spirals.

If you think a hefty stand spiralizer would only gather dust in the back of your cupboard, a diminutive hand-held version is the best choice for you.These are my best spiralizer recipes for first-timers because they’re easy to pull together but full of flavor. Make healthy cooking fun with this superb Salter spiralizer which creates ribbons of fruit and veg to incorporate into your meals. The twist action makes light work of courgettes, and the spiked pad prevents finger injury peril as you get close to the nub of your vegetable. I just bought a spiralizer, and I'm trying to drop some weight before New Years, but I had no idea what to make with it, so I found this site and I'm excited to try the recipes because, I can make noodles with veggies (for me) and still make regular pasta for my husband and just use the sauces and meats on each, I think it's a win win. This recipe is a great way to start off, as it offers tons of smoky, seafood flavor and takes mere minutes.

It’s also worth considering the number of blades – usually between one and four – and their quality. It’s BPA-free, has reinforced ABS parts and a large suction pad with an on/off lever that attaches brilliantly to smooth, flat worktops. If you want something sturdier than a handheld spiralizer but don’t want to splash out on anything too complex before you’re certain you’ll use it, this cheap and cheerful option from Salter is ideal. Most spiralizer blades can be rinsed under the tap, but sometimes they will require a bit more graft, especially with softer vegetables like courgettes and cucumbers. Cleaning is a breeze as it comes with a small brush for the blades, and the attachments all come off to go into the sink.

Or even if you’re already fully Inspiralized, you can add these recipes to your “quick and easy” list. A spiked pad holds the veg securely and with the slide of a switch the mixer’s motor drives the blade towards the veg for effortless spiralizing. The zucchini noodles in this recipe are actually raw, but the avocado-basil sauce adds a bold flavor and softens the noodles slightly. It’s another model which is great for those concerned about safety – the blades slide neatly into the base of the unit when not in use and a plastic cover slips over the entire machine.

Carrots and courgettes seemed to be the most spiralizable, but really any phallic shaped vegetable works great. While most models come with removable blades that won’t add much time to your washing up routine, some are quicker and easier to clean than others.

As well as interchangeable blades, this manual spiralizer also has non-slip feet and an easy-turn handle to make shredding veggies a breeze. After you’ve mastered cooking zoodles, you’ll understand the nature of spiralized vegetables and be able to take on anything from carrots to celeriac. If one of those family-sized tabletop spiralizers isn’t quite what you’re after, this compact offering from Joseph and Joseph might be. There’s some thoughtful storage as well – a caddy for blades and a lidded ‘catch container’ for keeping spiralized food fresh. Solid and stylish, the body of the machine is handwash only, but blades can be washed on the top rack of the dishwasher.

Bonus points for the thoughtful addition of some delicious, practical recipes – the notion of a spiralized coleslaw with apple and celeriac had our tummies rumbling.Operating the spiralizer was just as easy, there are two buttons, one to power it on/off and the other to release the arm/blade. Before you get started, be sure to read my how-to guide to mastering perfect zucchini noodles that aren’t soggy and the Three Best Ways to Cook Zucchini Noodles. You’ll also get attachments for making wide lasagne ribbons, curly fries and a cool wavy slicer for ridged crisps. There are different types of blade and we appreciated the self-aligning design, which minimised the movement needed to shred, grate and spiralize.
