Ridiculously fun to use, amazed at how well it works!
I bought this to try to get a few more vegetables and fruits into our lives in a creative way. Just kidding I really just bought it to see if it would work. And it really does!!
I pulled it out and my fiance was like what heck did you buy now. So within a few minutes I had this thing going and zipped through 4 pretty decent sized zucchinis to make sheets for zucchini lasagna. Then I moved on to all the apples we had in the household. The two of us were just laughing our fool heads off watching it. I told him you guys have dinner I'm just going to do this all night.
But seriously it works like a charm. The instructions are pretty good and just took a few minutes to master. The sheet cutter holds about 4-4.5 inch veggies, so about half a decent sized zucchini and then it makes literally the perfect lasagna noodles.
It does leave some core behind. After I threw them away I thought dang I could have saved those to make zucchini bread if I had ground them up.
I took the apples and put them in a little casserole with some butter, brown sugar and cinnamon. Great for a quick little desert but it looks neat so I could see doing that then putting them in a pretty tart pan for an elegant desert.
I left my zucchini noodles on a rack in the refrigerator overnight to remove some of the water and they did dry out pretty nicely, otherwise they stay pretty wet then when you bake it makes a big soupy mess. You can dry them in the oven too.
We spent the whole rest of dinner trying to figure out things we could run through the sheet cutter...I'm going to try apples, pears, potatoes and maybe a firm nectarine. FUN!!!
