We should be coming into an abundance of zucchini soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-2564379 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 11:59:44 +0000 lioneyes 2564379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just got one (zoodle slicer, handheld, $12.99 on amazon) and i really like it! i doubt DS will eat them bc he only likes shape pasta vs. spaghetti, but DH and I are all in (whole 30!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-2564359 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 11:41:38 +0000 Boogs 2564359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been really wanting to get one. We friend brought hers over to test out one day and the kids loved the zoodles. @inspiralized on IG also posts a lot of great inspiration. I just need to decide which I want to get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-2564351 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 11:34:52 +0000 milano14 2564351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the paderno and love it.<br /> However, doesn't make my kids eat their veggies any more than they already do:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-2564348 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 11:31:13 +0000 regberadaisy 2564348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want one! We've got about 6 zuchinni/squash plants growing right now.😂 I'm intending on borrowing one and see if my kids will eat zoodles. If they do I will invest in one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-2564340 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 11:18:36 +0000 Meowkers 2564340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have a hand held spiralizer. We don't use it often but when we do, we love it. The zoodles are delicious and the texture is great. Ours also has a side that makes wide, thin ribbons for salads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-2564254 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 09:38:26 +0000 JennyPenny 2564254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There aren't words for how much I love my spiralizer. I have the Inspiralizer bought from amazon. I almost got the kitchen-aid attachment after seeing it demoed at an event. It seems more powerful, but the one I got is half the price and still super easy to use. I make zoodles maybe every other week, but I use the flatter shape to make fun veggie salads like: <a href="http://www.foodiecrush.com/zucchini-and-fresh-corn-salad/" rel="nofollow">http://www.foodiecrush.com/zucchini-and-fresh-corn-salad/</a> I find it way easier to use than my mandolin and I don't worry about losing part of my finger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-2564228 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 09:08:01 +0000 littlebug 2564228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I have the stand-alone Paderno, but I actually saw an infomercial for the Kitchenaid attachment. It looks like it works the same way as the Paderno - you just stick the veggie on and the mixer does the work (instead of you hand-cranking it like on mine). </p> <p>FWIW, I love my spiralizer. D absolutely devours the zucchini noodles, and he doesn't ever eat veggies. I've spiralized zucchini, sweet potato, yellow squash, and broccoli. The kid won't TOUCH broccoli in it's natural form, but he killed the broccoli rice I made. So it definitely fools him, even when he watches me make it!</p> <p>To keep the texture crisp rather than soggy, I spiralize, then lay them out on paper towels with salt for at least 30 minutes. Then I flash-sautee them, just to warm them, and then pour the sauce on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-2564221 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 08:56:56 +0000 Smurfette 2564221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: I have the one in the picture posted. I love it. Super easy to use and clean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-2564215 Thu, 09 Jun 2016 08:48:58 +0000 looch 2564215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping this up, I was browsing amazon and it seems that there's a kitchen aid mixer attachment spiralizer. Anyone have it, or have another option? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1495597 Sat, 15 Mar 2014 02:31:39 +0000 Kimberlybee 1495597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really want this! What a great tool for cutting out carbs, or eating less carbs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1492900 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:51:24 +0000 T-Mom 1492900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. 64: what would that look like, do you think? Horror? ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1492865 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:33:16 +0000 mrs. 64 1492865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would love to see the look on DH's face if I served zoodles. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1492826 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 19:16:20 +0000 T-Mom 1492826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: haha me too, i think.. I kinda wanna just borrow one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1492735 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:30:53 +0000 coopsmama 1492735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is one of those things that I'd be super stoked to buy and would try once and would never pull out of the cupboard again. It just isn't practical enough for me. :silly: </p> <p>That said, the noodles look cool and I feel like it would be a fun way to eat more veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1492705 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 18:18:14 +0000 T-Mom 1492705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: I'll have to try it, thanks! I tried breaded zucchini sticks with marinara and they would not eat it.. It was delicious and I ate it all, haha... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1492635 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:57:58 +0000 mfa_lady 1492635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooooh! I love this idea. Zucchini is one of my faves and I'd love to try it with some meat sauce. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1492529 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 17:20:01 +0000 JessKas 1492529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love mine! I always have zucchini noodles when DH has pasta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1492173 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:34:59 +0000 heartonastring 1492173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one and I love it. I make zucchini noodles and also sweet potato noodles.</p> <p>My kid is only 10.5 months old and loves absolutely everything, so I don't think her opinion counts in this case :wink:</p> <p>ETA: @T-Mom: Another zucchini recipe that my daughter and most of my friends' kids love is zucchini cut into French fry shapes, tossed with olive oil and s&amp;p, roasted in the oven and then tossed with some balsamic vinegar for the last few minutes of cooking time. Just an idea :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1492161 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:32:01 +0000 T-Mom 1492161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: ok that makes sense. Yeah I'm not really about hiding stuff either, but they really have turned their noses up at every variation of zucchini I have made, like breaded zucchini sticks, etc, so I'm wondering if making it like pasta will be more fun for them (plus the whole reducing carb benefit for me).</p> <p>@Happygal: I'm sorry you don't like yours!<br /> @Sammyfab: I also have a mandoline which juliennes really nicely but I'm so scared to cut myself that I thought this might be an interesting option...</p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: the picture of the spiralizer looks so huge so yeah... If it is going to collect dust and take up space I really shouldn't get one, huh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1491574 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:54:12 +0000 Sammyfab 1491574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I want one!! My BFF swears by hers. I make zucchini noodles using a mandolin but I find it time-consuming and I'm prone to cutting myself so I need a spiralizer! I've also seen lots of recipes recently with sweet potato and squash noodles. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1491504 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:41:13 +0000 Happygal 1491504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Paderno World Cuisine Tri-Blade Plastic Spiral Vegetable Slicer. Over 2,000 reviews on Amazon, and most of them positive. You have to really jam the food on the end, and I hate seeing the core of food wasted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1491468 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:32:50 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1491468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one, but its collecting dust in some cabinet... Its fun to use, but honestly I forgot about it. It was pretty cheap too, I think I have the Spirooli brand. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1491458 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:27:49 +0000 looch 1491458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: what brand is yours? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1491456 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:27:11 +0000 Happygal 1491456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one, and I don't love it. :crying: I saw so many beautiful pictures on Amazon and expected to fall in love. But it's just kind of flimsy feeling to me and not worth the work. If I could have a do-over, I'd get a julienne peeler instead--takes up much less space! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1491445 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:22:52 +0000 looch 1491445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I lightly boil them, but, it's like zucchini, not noodles, if that makes sense. Have you tried spinach spaghetti? I don't think my son would go for it, honestly.</p> <p>I don't subscribe to the idea of trying to hide things, if anything, I'd let my son turn the crank, he'd be into that for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1491439 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:20:25 +0000 T-Mom 1491439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: what's the texture like? I'm having a hard time imagining.. Meaning... Will my kids eat it thinking it's a noodle? ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1491428 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:16:24 +0000 looch 1491428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but I want one, because I usually use my peeler for zucchini and waste a lot.</p> <p>Zucchini noodles are delish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-have-a-spiralizer#post-1491413 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 11:13:09 +0000 T-Mom 1491413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who swears by her spiralizer for making "zoodles" (zuchini noodles) that her kids gobble up. I am also trying to cut down on the carbs and love the idea of zucchini spaghetti and meatballs.</p> <p>Anyone have one? How do you like it, and do your kids "fall" for it? :-)</p> <p>[attach=566/14/n2dudx.574x574.img32c.jpg] </p>
