Simply Ming Automatic 4-in-1 Power Spiralizer with Easy Design - Race Car Red

Easy to use

Great product and fun too

wife like it a lot

I love this machine. The reason I bought it is the other spiralizer I used was the hand crank model and the force required to keep the vegetable against the blade, while turning the crank, over powered the suction cups holding the machine to the counter.It is a pain to clean. My recommended cleaning tools are: a toothbrush, thick chenille stems, dishcloth, and baby bottle brushes. Clean it immediately or as soon as possible after use. The prongs holding the vegetable are sharp, as are the blades so be careful and mindful in cleaning this machine.The photo in the instruction booklet showing the blades and the size of the sliced vegetable is mislabeled. It shows Blade 1 with the thinnest noodle as Fettuccine and Blade 3 with the smallest wide noodle as Spaghetti. If you have shopped the spaghetti & noodles aisle at the grocery store you will realize this is backwards. So make the blade adjustments in the booklet's recipes.Yes, you can spiralize the vegetables in 60 seconds but none of the recipes tell you that it takes a lot of time to prepare the vegetables before spiralizing, so plan accordingly especially if you are using a lot of vegetables, i.e. soup. The unspiralized portion of the vegetable you can either save for the stock pot, soup pot or slice & dice it up to include with your dish.The instruction booklet says it, so do it: Turn Off The Motor before you unlock the blade to remove the unspiralized chunk of vegetable. It is a habit I am still learning.Only the neck of the butternut squash works with the spiralizer.I am not as quick as Ming Tsai, so I let the vegetable finish spiralizing, gathering it into the pan as it comes out. Depending upon the recipe chosen, I gather up any loose bits and dump the pan on my cutting board. I make three vertical cuts dividing it into three parts and then one horizontal cut down the middle or I use the kitchen shears and snip into spiral pieces.

I thought this would enhance my zucchini noodles and that those sweet potato curly fries would be awesome, but, it turned out that it didn't do everything that the video promised. I'm going back to my Mandolin and chef's knife. I'm glad I tried this but.... I returned it. Sometimes, less is more.

Now i can make sweet potato chips.
