Thank you for sharing this. I’ve been looking for one that is both good quality and affordable. I’ll be ordering one as well.
zanna – glad to be of help! it’s supposed to be able to cut carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, etc. i can’t wait to make my first pasta dish… zucaroni and cheese, anyone?
are sweet potatoes ok to eat raw?
yes sweet potatoes CAN be eaten raw, but yams are not. now, here’s the confusion: in the US, mostly only sweet potatoes are sold. but they’re CALLED yams sometimes. However, overseas, true yams are sold – and they’re NOT okay to eat raw. “Yams are not sweet potatoes, but are used in a fashion similar to potatoes and sweet potatoes. Yams of African species must be cooked to be safely eaten, because various natural substances in raw yams can cause illness if consumed; the most common cooking method in Western and Central Africa is “pounded yam”. Excessive skin contact with uncooked yam fluids can cause the skin to itch. If this occurs, a quick cold bath will stop the itching.” courtesy of wikipedia.
mmm sweet potatoes grated – in Lorraine’s rice (recipe at goneraw) – is fabulous!
Sorry to all who have already spent $/
I have a Saladacco Spiral Slicer Spiralizer. It is great. Available at naturalzing.com.
just bought one at everyfoodslicer.com….will post about how i like it!! great price and free shipping too.
thanks to chris i bought that julienne peeler today at BB&B….BEST 7 dollars i ever invested, that thing is awesome, thanks for sharing, i already made me some zucchini pasta.
winona ~ thanks, let us know how you like it once you get it ok?
Hi Luna blu, I’ll let you know how well the slicer works, once it arrives.
You are welcome Sabrina. I guess no one else read my post, too bad. Those “spiralizer” type things are a Pain in The…
They have the same one at Bed Bath and Beyond for the same price. I actually got one for $10.00 at an Asian store (Global Foods). It’s from Japan, and it’s really awesome!
Chris: I have the julienne peeler. Not having experience with the spiralizer I can’t compare them, but the julienne peeler makes beautiful noodles. They’re almost like a cross breed between angelhair and fetuchinni, so think and a little flat. (Can’t spell today.) I like FINE noodles, so this is awesome.
Chris – I’m glad you mentioned the julienne peeler. I should buy one, and compare it to the world cuisine device. It does sound like the julienne peeler is easier to use and clean.
