Mostly just zucchini and yellow squash so far, sweet potatoes worked well too. Thinking about maybe trying apples, though I have no idea what I'd do with them...

Back in the old daze I even did potatoes for curly fries.

i have. mine makes the potatoes too small and only good for hash browns. You can try jicama, cucumber , yellow squash also ..

i've only used mine for zucchini. i've tried several times, but it always comes out mushy so i've kindof stopped using it. how do you make your "noodles" not come out mushy??

Horseshu1, I bet cucumbers would make a beautiful salad with halved cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and a hit of apple cider vinegar plus black pepper. Mmmm :)

someone said sweet potatoes, I don't have one

crazyninjanick and wholefoodnut - I tried sweet potato and couldn't get them to spiral. Do you cook yours first?

Buffy I don't have one, I just remembered someone saying that they did them. I know I can do them in my old curly fry maker but that's a powered gadget.

I do pretty much any hard vegetable. I can do sweet potatoes in mine. Turnip, squash, potatoes. The kids like apple with cinnamon sugar and melted butter in a tortilla. My go to is probably just squash with some tomato sauce .

Nicholaix, is yours a more expensive one from Sur laTable (to go through sweet potato)?
|
I got mine from Amazon, I believe it was $30. Its white with 3 blades. Killer sharp blades. I have to say though, it took me a bit to get centering the veggies on the blade properly to get it to work. Once I figured it out though it cuts anything like butter.

Google "vegetti recipe book" - you'll find a bunch of entries.

Nicholaix - I should have bought an expensive one - you get what you pay for.

I make daikon noodles with my spiralizer and toss them into soup. I've also used the wide cut on cucumber and have made salads that way.

Even if just using it for 'softer' veggies its awesome though. I bet if you parboiled the other veggies for a minute or two it may work.
I bought mine to make zucchini 'noodles' to help with my pasta and lo mein cravings, so anything else is a bonus to me.

Google it for a lot of ideas and recipes. I don't often use mine, but should.
