Kitchenaid Spiralizer Attachment

Got mine last week but haven't tried it yet. Has anyone used it? Think I will today and I'll come back and give a report.

I've had mine for about six weeks-and I love it. I routinely make zucchini noodles and stir fry them, or I spritz them with EVOO, cut up some onion and sprinkle a little cumin on them and pop them in my air fryer for a delicious little snack or addition to salad. Sweet potatoes are great spiralizer as well: I have used them to make "waffles" and I recently saw a muffin recipe. BTW, I used the "string" attachment, but you can also use the larger "corkscrew" attachment and make chips or fries. Spiralizer potatoes certainly dress up a crock pot roast....or how about spiralizer carrots in place of routine noodles in your chicken soup? Spiralizer beets (raw) are delightful in salad....and there is just no limit to what you can do with Apple's. Once you see how easy it is-and clean-up is a snap, you will want to use it everyday.

Amazon has some great spiralizer cook books: I just picked up an e-book for $2.99 and the recipes look great I have Ali Maffuci's "Inspiralized" hard cover and it's filled with easy, healthy recipes. Let the fun begin!

I ordered mine from Macy's on Sunday after Black Friday - it still hasn't arrived - I think it took the slow boat. It will be 2 weeks from order date to arrival date. That's ridiculous. I can't wait to get it and try it.

bigbadjohn--google kitchenaid attachments--Amazon has them , Macys and of course the kitchenaid website but they are pretty pricy so prepare yourself.

So I did use my spiralizer last night and it worked ok. Will have to use it more to fine tune it. I tried to peel spuds but ended up having to peel them again.. And I cut zucchini into big ribbons and that turned out great. Coated them with butter and herbs then sprinkled with parm cheese. I think the key is to find and use the right size produce and it will work better. My spuds were too small and oddly shaped. I have a spiralizer that is a hand crank that did a great job but having dexterity issues makes that hard for me. This is much easier. But it was easy to assemble and I have the most basic mixer that I got 15 years ago and it attached just fine and had enough power for it to do it's thing. Will continue to experiment. It is fun!!

For ideas on what attachments, go onto the KA web-site, but be sure to check other sites for prices once you know what attachment you want. So far, I love and use them all except one. So far, I have been dissatisfied with the food processor attachment. I bought it for our weekend place thinking I would save money because it seemed like a powerful little tool. Last Sunday was the first night of Chanukah so I used the fine shredding attachment for potatoes. My mixer there is 20 years old and still works: perhaps the motor is a little too elderly, but I spent more time disassembling and cleaning than I did shredding. You can't mix in the bowl either. So far, that is the only attachment I am not loving. I love the pasta attachment. I have a Vitamix and There is nothing like fresh milled whole wheat flour: store bought will never "do" again, but I am thinking about getting the grain mill attachment. I make a lot of "specialty" flours such as garbanzo bean. It all depends on what you like to make, but appliances like the KA stand mixer are fantastic for home cooks. BTW, I recently found some cheap, "vintage" KA recipe books that are chock full of treasures. (I found them on Amazon, but check out EBay as well). What do you like to make?

I used this item last night and made hasselback spuds using the slicer and it turned out great. Got the right sized potatoes which made a big difference. So I will continue to experiment, and use the size veggies it recommends Was fun and the spuds were delicious!!.

I was finally able to use mine tonight for the first time. Super fun. I did yellow squash. Probably not the best thing to spiralize, but it worked for me. I even did one with the peeler on to see how it worked.

No complaints other than the directions should be a little more in depth. They tell you how to set it up but they don't tell you to turn on the machine and what speed or anything. I assume "stir" is the way to go but some people are not that good with filling in the blanks :/

Would someone mind listing what shapes the different blades make?

I've looked all over the internet and watched the Kitchenaid video but they don't actually say what blades it comes with. I have the Paderno spiralizer and one of those apple peeler, corer, slicer devices. My Paderno has three inserts and does ribbons, thin spagetti like spirals and thicker spirals like for curly fries.

Go to Bed Bath and Beyond and it is listed where you can get it for 20% off.

Also...You Tube. There are numerous videos from opening your box of blades, cleaning and attaching to spiralizing veggies.

Glorious product and wish I got it sooner. Bought it yesterday and used it today. BBB w/ 20% off

$86 with CA tax.

I did the squash and gave my golden the peelings. He loved it. Note; My dog eats veggies all the time as this could cause a problem for some dogs.

Williams Sonoma now has an exclusive version with 6 different blades instead of the standard 4.

You can find more Kitchen Aid attachments at any retail store near you, like Bed Bath and Beyond, Kohls, Sears, or anywhere Kitchen Aid mixers are sold. Also eBay has tons of them, and a web site called Everything Kitchens, which has excellent sales all the time, and no tax unless you live in MO. Just type in Kitchen Aid attachments on eBay, and on web sites online. These all fit on the front of your mixer. I have the same mixer as you have gotten. I love it! Hope this helps.
