The Spiralizer 5-Blade Vegetable Slicer is the perfect way to ensure that your family enjoys more vegetables each day. It is designed in such a way that it can easily motivate you to take more vegetables. For instance, it can easily turn squash into “veggie pasta” or potatoes into spiral-cut fries. Other vegetables can be turned into decorative garnishes or thin slices for dehydration.
For the longest time, it I among the few sturdy slicers we’d had on our table, but with a very light profile. The manufacturer claims that it’s made of 100% BPA-free food grade, durable reinforced ABS plastic with Japanese high carbon stainless steel blades. We can’t ascertain if it’s a marketing gimmick, but from what we are seeing, all we can say is that it looks quite strong and should cope with regular use and last for many years.
The Spiralizer 5-Blade Vegetable Slicer is easy to use and require very little in the way of effort. It has suckers on the underneath that keep it firmly stuck to the counter top. It comes with a recipe book which you have to down load as it’s an e-book. It also has an instruction manual although it isn’t that difficult to use.
