OXO Good Grip Tabletop 3-Blade Spiralizer

Love this clever little light weight gadget. Works great, simple parts, and so easy to clean. Cannot say enough good things about this product. Totally impressed how something so simple works so well. Large suction area sticks base tightly to counter top. No problems with machine jumping around at all. Appreciate that it requires no electricity and you can spiral most any length of vegetable. I never buy any blades that are not stainless steel, so these are perfect and very sharp. Do a great job and make clean cuts. They only fit into the machine in one direction, so you do not have to be concerned with which side works. Absolutely LOVE that they come in their own storage box that fits perfectly into the machine for storage. I had not considered before I bought this product that it does indeed take a bit of pressure from your non-dominate hand to help slide the food forward (on the easy slide base) toward the blade. Not much pressure is required and probably fine for most folks, just something to be aware. I would not be able to do this all day. It does require both hands to work the machine. Had no problem with a few Yukon gold potatoes and multiple zucchini. The thinner spaghetti style spirals cook much faster than the next bigger fettuccine size spiral, so set a cooking timer. It takes about 1 minute to spiral a big zucchini. Ideas: I use a broiler pan lined with non stick foil for up to 3 large zucchini's spiraled. The pan fits perfectly at the end of the Spiralizer to catch the swirls. Then I lightly spray the spiraled raw food with 100% organic olive oil from the health food store. (Not Pam, as you do not want a non stick coating...just a bit of 100% olive oil.) You can make your own oil spritzer if you prefer. Add a bit of salt and any seasoning you want and bake. For the fettuccine size, Start with about 375-400 for 30 minutes and check often. Remember Zucchini is healthy to eat raw, so no over cooking needed. Bake just for desired texture. I also use my toaster oven. It's tray easily holds one spiraled Zucchini. I like mine a bit crispy, so just experiment. By the way, after spiraling, you will have cute little cylindrical sticks from each vegetable center left over. I just throw them in the baking pan or eat them while waiting. I have no reason to disengage the machine's handle for clean up, so have not attempted to detach it. The Push handle that sticks out from the side, does fold down, so no other protruding parts. Very solid yet light weight plastic machine so is not heavy or difficult to hold and clean. Stores in small space. Keep it handy and use it all the time. Note: One reviewer mentioned that it is difficult to use if a person is left handed, so may need a right handed assistant.
