Veggie Noodles with Spiral Slicers - Brieftons Spiral Slicer GIVEAWAY!

    I don't know about you, but I'm a pasta lover - all the way.  Me and pasta are best friends. 

    (Okay, you grammar Nazis - don't correct me!)

    Well, all right.  Pasta and I are best friends.  Is that better?  ☺

    The problem is, I really shouldn't eat pasta, not since I began eating a low-carb eating plan (Trim Healthy Mama).  And one of my daughters cannot eat gluten, so that makes pasta almost out of the question for her.

    Sure, there are other gluten-free alternatives, but they definitely are not insulin-friendly or for those who are trying to lose weight.  Even my favorite Dreamfields Pasta?  Well, their company has changed their tune, and it is no longer being promoted as a low-glycemic pasta.

    Rats. 

    After learning about the changes with Dreamfields Pasta and realizing my daughter needed to eat gluten-free, I began to look into other options.  Someone on Facebook mentioned spiral slicers, and that piqued my interest.

    Well, when I start researching something, I learn all kinds of things!  ☺
I've learned that there are several types of spiral slicers, whose purpose is to slice vegetables into pasta strands for those who cannot eat pasta or are looking for healthier options. 

    There are the cone spiral slicers, like the Brieftons Spiral Slicer, below - and I get to give one away this week!  Click on the Rafflecopter entry form below, or if you are reading this in your email,
please click over to the post to enter or click on the link below that says "a Rafflecopter giveaway.”

    You'll also commonly find what I call the "tabletop" style and the "covered pot" style of veggie spiral slicers.  Each type has their advantages and disadvantages.

    I've personally used two types of spiral slicers so far:  the Brieftons "cone" Spiral Slicer, and another brand's "covered pot" style of spiral slicer. 

    Since I'm giving away one of Brieftons' "cone" type of spiral slicer, I'm mainly going to let you know how well this product works.

    The Brieftons Spiral Slicer is inexpensive (under $13) and easy to use.  It is small and takes up very little room in a kitchen drawer or cupboard.  Nice! 

    The Brieftons Spiral Slicer, like other cone-style spiral slicers, is used much like a pencil sharpener, where the veggie is the "pencil", and the slicer is the "sharpener".  After washing off your veggies or fruits such as carrots, potatoes, turnips, rutabagas, zucchinis, cucumbers, large radishes, apples, squash, pears, etc., peel off the skin if necessary or desired.  Straight and firm vegetables and fruits work best with this type of spiral slicer.

    Use one hand to hold the spiral slicer's stainless steel handles.  Use the other hand to carefully insert your veggie into the spiral slicer's "cone", making sure that the vegetable stays straight in the middle of the cone.  Twist it in with moderate pressure to create long strands of the vegetable or fruit. 

    When the size of the vegetable or fruit becomes shorter, use the provided "end cap" to attach to the end of the vegetable.  This will help you to process the whole vegetable - or most of it.

    Oh, and the Brieftons Spiral Slicer has two different julienne sizes on it: 
1/16" x 3/32" (2 x 3 mm) and 1/8" x 3/16" (3.5 x 5 mm).  These sizes aren't marked on the cones themselves, but by glancing at the spacing between the blades on each side, it's evident which side is which. 

    If you're more of a visual learner, you may watch the video, below, on how to use the Brieftons Spiral Slicer:
    For best results when using the Brieftons Spiral Slicer:

  • Choose thick, firm and straight vegetables.
  • Place the vegetable straight in the middle of the cone, making sure it does not lean heavily toward any particular side.
  • Twist the vegetable into the cone with a consistent forward force.
  • Use the included safety cap when the vegetable gets shorter to protect your finger and minimize your vegetable waste.
  • Use the included kitchen brush to clean your spiral slicer right after use.  This way, you won't be left with dried-on bits of fruits and veggies on your spiral slicer.

Note:  If you are left handed, you can still use the Brieftons Spiral Slicer the following way:

  • Place the spiral slicer in an upright position on a table.
  • Insert the vegetable vertically into the cone, then twist and turn it with one hand (the left hand), while holding the spiral slicer securely in place with the other hand (the right hand).

This video, below, demonstrates how to clean the cone-types of spiral slicers:

   



   
Basically, use running water and the provided brush that comes with it to clean out the vegetable/ fruit remnants from inside and outside the "cone".  You can also pop this into the dishwasher, which is a nice option.


Julieanne's thoughts about the Brieftons Spiral Slicer:


1.  It took a minute to get the hang of it, but it wasn't hard to use, although it was harder to make consistent long strands of "noodles" than with the other spiral slicer I own.

2.  I like the low price...very nice!

3.  As I turned the zucchini into the spiral slicer, I was using effort and concentration to make certain I didn't cut myself.  I'm thankful that it comes with a finger guard to help guide the smaller pieces of veggies and fruits into the spiral slicer so I wasn't cut up by the sharp blades.

4. 
Even though this looks harmless, it could be quite dangerous to a child, so make sure this is kept up and out of reach around younger children.

5. 
Will this truly make noodles?  Yes, it will.  They may not be quite as consistent in shape and size as some of the more expensive spiral slicers, but it does make vegetable strands, overall, for low carb and healthy vegetable meals. 

6.  This spiral slicer is designed to actually "core" zucchinis so that the seeds don't end up on your dinner plate!

I would love to be able to make carrot noodles to begin with. I'm sure my mind would go crazy after that. My son and his family are completely gluten-free and it would be nice to be able to cook a meal for them.

I haven't yet made carrot "noodles" because we had an abundance of zucchini in our garden this summer/fall, but I'm looking forward to giving that a try, too! :)

Wish I could give everyone here a spiral slicer! Thankfully, there are some, like this one, that aren't very expensive.

I used a hand cranked one years ago when everyone was eating raw. It did not work at all! If it worked good, I'd love to make zucchini noodles.

I thought this did fairly well, Kelli, so it may be worth a try. The other two main types of spiralizers take up a lot more room, so they wouldn't work so well for those who are traveling full time.

I've often wondered if these "gadgets" actually worked. Dr. told me I needed to be GF a few months ago (NOT an easy feat being married to an amazing baker!)... Now that I know these things actually work, I see a bright future ahead! Thanks, Julieanne!
Btw, I, too am quite distraught over the whole Dreamfields thing. :(

Yeah, I know. Very bummed about not using Dreamfields anymore. :( If you'd like to bring some zucchini over to my house and try out both of my spiral slicers, since they are quite different in how they work, feel free, Lisa. :)

I have not used a spiral-slicer yet. I almost ordered one from Pampered Chef but just couldn't afford it at the moment. Would be so great to have for THM meals!

I didn't realize that Pampered Chef sold a spiral slicer. My older daughter used white sweet potatoes the other day and made spiral fries with our spiral slicer. She fried them in just a little bit of coconut oil, and they were really good!

I have never used a spiral-slicer before but I would love to try it! I love Italian style sauces, but I haven't been cooking some of my favorites lately because I don't eat the pasta that is typically paired with them. This would be a great pasta replacement!

That's what we've been doing, Caty, using our homemade spaghetti sauce with spiral zucchini noodles. While it will never be "the same" as regular spaghetti noodles, it still works well enough for a meal. :)

I agree! It would definitely help getting all of that going. We've been making lots of zoodles and freezing them for later use. Gotta use up the extra zucchini somehow, right? :)

I have used a "thing" that looks like a peeler (like you use to take off the skins of potatoes or carrots) that makes the veggie into small noodle like shreds. However, I have been looking at these spiral slicers and thought they looked like a better size and method for veggie noodles. :)

As much as I would like one, after watching the video I am afraid it would be painful for my arthritic hands. How do you feel about the other types you have in your article? Would any of them be easier for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Reply
Julieanne link

Lori, I haven't tried the "tabletop" style of spiral slicer, but I'm thinking that might be a bit easier on the hands. The "cone" type of spiral slicer requires turning and squeezing with both hands, and that might be uncomfortable for you. The "cooking pot" type of spiral slicer requires squeezing two handles together firmly while turning a knob. It also requires quite a bit of turning and squeezing.
