Hints & Tips

Use spiralized vegetables to replace pasta and noodles.
Use firm fruits and vegetables without stones, seeds or hollow centres.
Do not use soft, juicy or overripe foods as they will fall apart when spiralized.
Many important vitamins and nutrients are found in the skin of fruit and vegetables, so only remove if inedible.
Select vegetables that are as straight as possible.
Cut the end of the food to create a flat surface to ensure it can be attached to the end of the pusher. Uneven ends will make it difficult to secure to the end of the pusher causing poor results.
Ensure that the diameter of the food is more than 5 cm so that it can be attached securely to the end of the pusher.
You will be left with a cone shaped end pieces at the end of spiralizing. These pieces can be sliced and used.
Lightly steam, blanch, boil or stir fry the spiralized food.
