Joyce Chen Saladacco Spiral Slicer, White Reviews
After reading other reviews, I decided it wasn't worth trying to get another. I had to send my saladacco back because the parts didn't fit properly together for it to be functional.
I'll stick to my Cutco knives. It worked great for a week, cutting zuchini, onions, carrots, potatoes, and any other solid vegetable. After week 1, the handle spun around, while the food sat motionless. The Joyce Chen spiral slicer is useless.
We first bought this product to make raw zucchini angel hair pasta and other raw food dishes. Highly recommended. Clean up is not bad but you do have to be careful because the blade is sharp. We use it to make great spiral carrots and cucumber for salads and much more. It works great for that and many other things.
Raw, the zucchini spiraled in a salad is delicious, too. It does clean easily - a definite plus. So, I am disappointed in the range of vegetables with which it can be used. It DOES do a great job of spiral-cutting hard veggies - zucchini and potatoes, in particular. but be prepared to eat in a day whatever cucumbers you cut this way, as the high degree of exposed flesh of the cukes will have them getting mushy after 24 hours. (Although, if you're doing spiral hash browns for 10 people or more, start early or recruit help).
Also, keep in mind when cooking that things like zucchini, once spiraled, will cook VERY quickly and are much better a bit al dente.otherwise they get soft and you lose the beauty of the spirals. I think the idea of this product is better than the reality. It also takes a fair amount of "elbow grease" to make it work but I rather like that. Cucumbers do ok, if they are REALLY fresh. I am going to try other veggies - raw beets, turnips, sweet potatoes. those will likely work well.
It does not do well, in my experience, with onions, eggplant, carrots (hard but wrong shape).
but other then that, I am so happy with it. just a little bit expensive for what it is. Great product, works perfectly.
