Zyliss Smoothslizer Vegetable Spiralizer Interchangeable Review

The device is a new approach to spiral processing - slices a thin layer of vegetables into leaves or thin strips, depending on which blade you will be using. There can be quite wide streaks depending on the type of fruit or veg you are using. It does a good job of cooking a mostly continuous leaf vegetable. It's easy to assemble and relatively easy to swap out the blades or take apart for cleaning. It's quite bulky and I was disappointed to learn that I can't store it in the retail packaging as

I love to cook vegetable lasagne, but cutting the sheets by hand is very tedious and uneven. I was very excited to try the Zyliss SmoothSlicer! I found this gadget very easy to use once I got the hang of it. I've experimented with different veggies and fruits from hard to soft. The apples were very easy, but the pumpkins required a little more effort. However, this tool grabs the rack like nothing else, allowing your machine to stay in place as you work harder. Seriously, the suction floor…

I've been a fan of the Zyliss for a very long time. In fact, one of the first reviews I wrote here was of their ice cream scoop, which was very good, and I wanted to remember the company's name. That was about 20 years ago. Since then I have read a book about their founder and his approach to product design. As someone who has dedicated a large part of his life to the study of creativity, I was once again impressed. I have several of their products because they are one of the first brands I…

This tool takes a bit of practice and no, you can't turn anything into ribbons or spaghetti. It works best with firmer vegetables or fruits like sweet potatoes or fresh apples. How you squeeze and turn the handle also affects whether you get a nice clean cut or constantly breaking cutting tools and a stuck machine. Watch the video a few times before you start (the QR code for the video is printed on the cover of the manual). The important thing is to attach the base to the work surface with a…

Zyliss Smoothslizer Vegetable Pasta Maker and Spiralizer with 3 Interchangeable Blades takes some time to read and understand the instructions. Things don't seem to snap as easily as one might expect, so extra care needs to be taken around the blades. It will definitely become more user friendly with practice. You want a smooth bottom suction surface that will hold up well. This little machine failed the first time I tried to cut squash and nuts into lasagna sheets. The skewer became…

I have a few Zyliss products in my kitchen that I swear by so I was really hoping for this one. Unfortunately, this gadget turned out to be a complete disaster. After unboxing it and setting it up according to the instructions that came with it, I decided to try the pumpkin and nut lasagna included in the set. the same booklet, assuming a prescription from the company would certainly be a good place to start. TIP: The recipes in the booklet are all metric. If you are unfamiliar with the metric…

This is a HIGH QUALITY food spiralizer for SOLID fruits and vegetables. The photos I've attached show my zucchini being destroyed. They weren't firm enough, just a few days older. Think apple, butternut squash, potato, etc. with this rotary tool. I'll say right away that the suction base is the real deal. When the device is on the counter, it sticks. To move it I had to use a bench scraper to remove the sticky layer from the table top surface. I would recommend leaving the unit on its side…
