Spiralizer?

fartyarse

Anyone buy one of those spiralizers? Gimmick or not? I'm really intrigued to see what 'courgetti' tastes like!

Definitely gimmicky. But even so I've heard a lot of people where very surprised with how much they actually use it. Think it was on reddit people were saying it

I got one on sale off amazon. I've actually used it a lot more than I thought.

I lvoe spiraling beetroot then roasting it for a few minutes with oil salt and pepper.

Love the "zoodles" (zucchini noodles!) from mine (also sale amazon) and I do carrots to make a tasty pickled carrot salad. Also apples with the slice blade fro apple crsips in my othe rgadet , the dehumidifier.

Is there any shop in Dublin that sells spiralizers?

You might get a small hand held one in home store and more, I spent ages looking for one in shops though and gave in and bought mine from amazon... I love it!

Not gimmick at all. Very handy, use it quite a bit for all sorts. Most common is courgette noodles for stir fry etc.

Is that offer still available?
I've been contemplating for the last 6 weeks on getting one; I kept telling myself it's just probably going to be a dust gatherer, but I'm done with using the cheese grater to make courgette + carrot noodles. Will definitely invest in one.
Next dilemma - vertical or horizontal spiralizer?

Other than the spiral bit are they hugely different in what they produce from courgettes etc than a julienne 'peeler'?

Could you link to the one you got on amazon? Would really appreciate a recommendation - thanks!

Not massively in terms of how thick the pieces come out but they come out in longer strips and are more like noodles or spaghetti.
