If you have a KitchenAid stand mixer then you’re likely aware of the numerous attachments available. PROS: slicing is easy/fast (due to sharp blade) and consistent sizing/width of output.ĬONS: sharp blade (be careful with your fingers) and medium size for storage. Alright, maybe this is actually a tie for #2.
Similar to the Paderno World Cuisine Spiralizer, it has several blade options, giving you options for perfectly consistent noodles, slices or rounds (and easily cuts through any “harder to slice” vegetable). The mandoline creates the best flat zucchini pasta and allows you to vary the thickness. I’ve sliced a massive divot out of my thumb before – and it’s not fun. The blades are SUPER sharp on a mandoline, so please please always use the plastic holder or a cut-resistant glove. The mandoline creates julienne noodles that are slightly thicker than a peeler, but does it in half the time.
I’ve had this mandoline for several years and it gets used a ton in my kitchen. I actually hummed and hawed about making the mandoline #2 on my list (because I love it that much) – but the julienne peeler won for size. The reason this tool makes #2 on my list is that it takes longer to slice (you rotate the zucchini, creating a rectangular shape), it leaves the largest core and the potential of nicking a finger is high (yep, I’m clumsy).ĬONS: takes longer to slice and leaves a pretty large core. Then, you simply pull the strands apart with your fingers. When it comes to the actual zucchini noodles, a julienne peeler slices the thinnest, most delicate noodles. It takes up virtually no space in your kitchen and will most likely reside in your utensil drawer. The single biggest benefit of a julienne peeler is that it’s small. And that’s perfect for when you want thick, flat slices of zucchini pasta. One side juliennes, the other side slices.
Win! A julienne peeler frequently does double duty with a vegetable peeler. The great thing about a julienne peeler is that you likely already have one in your kitchen. PROS: requires little effort/strength, performs the fastest, reasonably priced, sturdy and offers different blades/slicing options.ĬONS: will require more storage space than other options. Yes, it’s bigger than some of the other options, but considering how I often I use it the pros far outweigh the cons – so it’s still my #1 favorite. With this spiralizer, you can create your favorite carrot pasta, curly sweet potato fries or apple chips with easy to swap out blades. Carrots, sweet potato, apples, pears…the list is endless! Now, I know these reviews are for zucchini noodles, but keep in mind other vegetables you may want to slice up. In less than 8 seconds you’ll have spiral sliced the entire zucchini. You simply cut off the ends of a zucchini, place it next to the blade and spin. It’s the fastest tool of the bunch and requires the least amount of strength or effort (with suction cup feet to keep it in place). It creates curls of your favorite vegetables, literally in seconds. The Paderno World Cuisine Spiralizer is far and away my favorite tool.
