This was my first time using my new kitchen gadget and it was a lot of fun.  The best part was that it was so simple to use (except for when I turned the handle the wrong way and thought that I broke it).

It is just like the box!  It looks rather scary but it isn’t.  In fact, it is all plastic so it is not super sturdy but it gets the job done.

The blades. The middle one is upside down (oops).  It comes with three blades.  The back of the box calls them: The Chipper, The Slicer, and The Shredder.

I love that the box is in English and Italiano.

I tested each blade before deciding which one to use.

Big Momma Spirals. I really want to spiralize a sweet potato at this setting and bake them.  Sweet potato chips are definitely in my future.

Medium Spirals. Great for steaming.

Teeny Spirals. I think the really thin noodles will be ideal for eating the zucchini raw.

I lightly steamed the zucchini after I spiralized and combined with a homemade basil tomato sauce.  I used the medium spirals for steaming and it was perfect.  I was afraid that the teeny spiral would be too small and practically disappear during steaming.

What else can be spiralized? I was thinking of spiralizing a sweet potato, cucumber, and yellow squash.  The box shows a picture of cabbage.  I had not thought of that one.

I planned to buy this one:

I plan to spiralize like a champ this week. Stay tuned for the details!
