This is the trendiest tool in the food market today: The Veggie Spiralizer from the Lifestyle Dynamics brand.
Summary
This is an easy-to-use, ultra thin slicer that sharply slivers vegetables into noodle shapes with its spiral-shaving technique. This is where the term “spiralizer” comes from. Compared to its generic counterparts, this Spiralizer is more affordable. It is also more practical because it is smaller and lighter than the competitors. For anyone who loves the feel, texture, and look of noodles, but do not want the calories, carbs, starches and sugars associated with them, this is the best chance to get the best of both worlds. You get healthy, flavorful noodles with zero guilt and all the nutrients that only vegetables can give you.
What does it do?
In not so many words, it makes most vegetables into the consistency and shape of pasta noodles so that you can enjoy the experience of a spaghetti dish made with veggies, and not flour pasta.
What does it come with?
The Spiralizer comes as a single unit that has a screw lid at the top. Inside the Spiralizer there is a state-of-the-art swirling mechanism anchored by two super-sharp blades that shape and define the vegetable.
How do you use it??
The way you use it is by, first, opening the lid. Then you place the veggie at the concave end of the Spiralizer, and make a round motion with it against the blades. As you turn the vegetable, it will start shredding into noodle shapes in a very fast and sleek way. Even the skin of the vegetable comes off automatically. There is a LOT of veggie “meat” that comes out as you shred, so you won’t have to eat an overload of veggies to get a good amount of food. One vegetable will be more than enough.
Pros:
- Simple Design
- One unit, no replacements. One does it all
- Durable
- Very fast and sleek.
- Easy Storage
Worthy “mentionables:“
- The “pasta” that comes out from spiralizing the vegetables has a thick consistency that resembles pasta completely. Even the pickiest eater will find it cool to eat veggies passed for pasta.
- The lifestyle dynamics Spiralizer is more affordable than the competitors in the “Seen on TV” market.
- The Spiralizer is also more fun to use, easier to store, and has a much more sturdier construction.
- Your kids will love it.
Cons:
There is a small end of the vegetable that remains intact as you finish spiralizing the main bulk of it. This is your “holding” piece, or that end of the food that you hold while you sharpen away. I personally wish that I could get the entire vegetable inside the Spiralizer.
What can you make with it?
Besides the well-known spaghetti options to sliver veggies, the Spiralizer has different shape options which include the longer and wider lasagna noodle cut. You can, therefore, make lasagna noodles with it! I have heard some people dehydrate the veggie noodles “à-la Ramen” and then adding flavor to eat them as crisps. I have not tried this myself but it sure looks worth trying.
Another great idea is to use this gadget for your typical crudités. Forget the same boring-looking veggie tray, and treat your guests and friends with cool-looking raw vegetables perfect for dipping, and in shapes that none of them have every tried before. I believe that tray will be totally eaten up by the end of your next party.
Let’s not forget about soups and salads. Spiralized vegetables inside soup makes them much more fun to eat. Rather than adding flour noodles, why not make your famous chicken noodle soup with zucchini or even squash noodles that will give you a triple pack of nutrition for way less calories and zero carbs?
How Do You Clean It?
Verdict
It is fun, compact, easy to use, well-made, and super safe. It is kid-friendly, Paleo-approved, and extremely versatile. Most importantly, the Lifestyle Dynamics veggie Spiralizer is more affordable than its market counterparts, sturdier to the touch, and offers a wide variety of ways to make new foods that will befit picky eaters, as well as gourmet fanatics equally. For this reason, the Spiralizer gets a huge “AWESOME” in the food gadget scale.
The Spiralizer can be purchased at a very affordable price of less than $15 dollars on average. Check for special times of the year when Lifestyle Dynamics may offer this awesome gadget with other goodies, as it makes for a wonderful holiday or birthday gift. It certainly makes for an outstanding conversation piece and a good thing to give friends and family who love to cook.
