Ruki Home Vegetable Spiralizer

I received this complementary in exchange for my honest opinion. Really Love this #RukiHome Vegetable Spiralizer. I wanted to try this out with sweet potatoes rather than just zucchini and yellow squash or even carrot. It worked out really well with the sweet potato. Its an interesting device and cleans up easily with the provided brush. I do think the design is a bit flawed when it comes to the way the veggie is fed into the spiralizer and may need some adjustments by the manufacturer. I think the top that helps
feed the vegetable in should be wore closer to the shape of the funnel with spikes to grasp the vegetable as is there in a flatness rather then funnel. This may help with the the whole veggie just about being used completely rather than having about 2/3 inches. Be sure to use the included cap to help feed the vegetable into the spiralizer once it is close to the top of the funnel otherwise you will make the mistake I made and get a slice almost like a paper cut possibly worse. Since this looks like its not sharp I warn it is and cuts well.

Vegetable Spiral Slicer by Kitchen Joint







I received this from a promotion in exchange for my honest opinion of the product. I was quite skeptical upon receiving this product. I took it out the box and thought to myself this cant do much but I am surprised with the results. Both ends worked well on my zucchini and yellow squash. Both similarly shaped. However the carrot was a bit more difficult to use with this since it was much thinner than the slot. It did however work with the carrot. I do wonder about its design thinking it could be improved a bit in order to use more of the vegetable than what it does. it leaves a pointed part of the vegetable that probably could be used more easily and spiralized if the top piece that is used to push the vegetable down was point in a similar shape as the spiralizer. The Kitchen Joint Veggie Spiral Slicer is the first of these I have tried and found it very simplistic easy to use. I spiral sliced the yellow squash, zucchini, and carrots trying both sizes. 

One appears to be very thin almost like angel hair pasta while the other is a bit thicker but not that thick as a fettuccine. I froze half of the combination of spiralized veggies and used the other half as my main course adding a bit of steak, garlic, and olive oil sauteing over medium low heat until steak was medium rare and the veggies were warmed but not  mushy. I am very happy with the Spiral Slicer. It worked well and my supper was great. It also comes with a little brush to aide in its cleanup which was very useful in this kitchen appliances cleanup. Cleanup was easy and quick.
