Joseph Joseph Spiro Hand-held Spiralizer

- Food has to be chopped into a small block to fit. - Requires a lot of twisting action by hands and wrist, and upper arm strength, so not suitable for those with issues in these parts of their body. - Leaves behind a chunk of the food being spiralised when you can’t twist it further. - Very small container so needs to be constantly emptied and another block of food reloaded often, even when making only enough for one serving. I don’t recommend this product.

Actually works – I have just bought this on the recommendation of a friend and tried it out on carrot and cucumber. I thought carrot was going to be hard to do but it wasn't bad at all. The spirals with carrot were pretty short but I got better with practice. Cucumber was quick and easy and I anticipate zucchini will be good too. You do need to apply pressure as you turn so it might be a bit difficult for someone with arthritis or a disability. This is a good option if you aren't wanting to produce large volumes - then I would look at an electric machine. But this does very nicely for smaller quantities. It comes with 2 sizes of spiral blades and a grating blade. That you are cutting the vegetable into a container makes it really easy to clean up. I previously had the Zyliss sprialiser and I didn't find that very successful. This one is a lot better. It seems to make carrot more attractive in the school lunch too.
