OXO Good Grips Handheld Spiralizer

Product Information

The OXO Good Grips Spiralizer is the perfect tool for creating garnishes for salads or healthy alternatives to noodles and pasta. Handheld spiralizers are an affordable and compact option, perfect for irregular usage, limited countertop space or cupboard space (or great for those only want to create small quantities of veggie noodles). Some countertop models come with handy cleaning brushes to safely clean the blades, a toothbrush makes a great substitute: be careful not to use your fingers on these super-sharp blades.

But if you’re new to spiralizing, and not sure how much you’ll ultimately use a gadget like this, it makes for an excellent starter choice. If you’re looking to spiralize wider and/or harder fruits and vegetables, like butternut squash, apples or onions, go for a countertop model. The attachment and blades come in a solid cardboard box that does require some storage space but we think worth it if you spiralize regularly.

We've found that they work just as well for thinly slicing vegetables, perfect for speeding up dinner-time prep, bulk cooking or for when you need to make coleslaw and salads for a crowd. com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646). Ease of cleaning: We looked for stand spiralizers with removable components that can be washed in a dishwasher or with an old-fashioned manual scrub. The suction was so good, in fact, that this pick excelled in our hard vegetable tests, where a little extra pressure is required.This one comes with four types of spiral blades and an optional peeling blade, so you can customize the noodles' thickness: tight spirals or shavings, or thicker, luxe ribbons. We rated it highly as a vegetable chopper, but if you want to focus on zoodles, pick one of two blades: A thinner one for julienne-like spirals and a thicker ribbon option. The design of this self-containing spiralizer keeps mess to a minimum collecting food as you cut it and makes spiralizing a whole range of vegetables super neat and easy.
