That name just sounds dirty...

I have a different kind of spiralizer. Be careful washing it. I cut my finger really badly even after reading the be careful warnings! Mostly I just sauté spiralized zucchini, carrot, and yellow squash with a small bit of olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Yummy.

I'm kinda accident prone, my fiance washed it. I'm not even allowed. I was just thinking if I could freeze some things it could help the healthy not eating out so much.

Made shrimp scampi, using the spiralizer to make zucchini noodles. I thought it tasted awesome and the daughter have it a thumbs up also. I need to experiment a bit with the zucchini noodles, definitely need to dry then out. Next time I will try throwing them in the oven for a few prior to adding them in.

I use mine all of the time. I don't freeze zucchini or any squash, as I find it is too watery when you thaw it. I also think it changes the flavor slightly.

Agreed.

Freezing it sucks. Fresh is the key.....at least in my opinion.

I have yet to add one of those handy contraptions to my kit.

I do, however, on occasion slice up some zukes or squash into long & thin pieces, nuked or sautéed and can be twirled on a fork just like a noodle. They take sauces well.

Takes a bit of knife work....but for me that is therapeutic......tunes in the kitchen and slicing away at the board.

Love my spiralizer. Just found a recipe for a cucumber/sesame salad that I think will go well with thai peanut chicken. Haven't branched out to spiralize potatoes or sweet potatoes yet, but they're on the list.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
