Has anybody received the spiralizer?

Mine has been in Philadelphia for 2 days already.  I guess it was sent via surepost.

I ordered the one from Wolfgang.  It has shipped, but I haven't received it.  Anxious to try it.

Re: Has anybody received the spiralizer?

I received my pink one today. I haven't used it yet as I have to wash it first.

It is nicely made and the blades look nice and sharp. When I go to the store to get some vegetables I will get nice firm ones and check to see what diameter I will need before I go. Firm vegetables will Spiralize neatly and not shred apart if they are firm. A limp cucumber will not work correctly and I think that is why some people don't get the results they want. I have the DASH Spiralizer and although it works very well, it doesn't hold much in the container if you are doing a lot. Also you have to cut the DASH vegetables in three or four pieces where Wolfgang's can be spiralized in one piece. Hope these few hints help someone new to spiralzing. I also received my Spiralizer book by Marian Getz and it is great as all her books are. 👍🙋🏻

Re: Has anybody received the spiralizer?

I received my spiralizer today -- and yes -- it was sent by Surepost.  I had just written that I did not receive the cookbook  and then went to check the tracking to see when it will be here so I could tell you.  Surprise!  The tracking said it was delivered.  SO -- downstairs I went to open the box and there it was!  Idiot!  LOL!!

Oh good!  Perhaps I will get my pink one tomorrow together with the book.

Mine came today.  Haven't opened it yet and probably won't get to it until Saturday afternoon.  Also got the cookbook; will look at that tomorrow.

 

In addition I ordered a set of two scarves and a pair of gloves (Serena Williams).  They all came in the same box...spiralizer, book and accessories.

I used my Spiralizer this morning to try it and I liked it. I used it to do a few apples. I did not like the cone disc as it squished the apple too much and it was not a spiral. I used the narrow flat ribbon disc and it worked perfect. Be sure to line up the slots and lock the round top on tightly. I did 4 small apples and just removed the stem. I added cinnamon and sugar and put them in the refrigerator for a snack later. If the parts are not locked in correctly it may not stay firmly on the counter and move when you use it. Also make sure to push firmly on the food when spiralizing. Hope this helps.  Smiley Happy

@MKR14  It seems you had a great first experience and thanks for the tips.  Will remember them if mine ever gets here.  It has been sitting in Philadelphia now for 3 days and I hope it is not going to keep those Cheryl's cookies company that have been sitting in Philadelphia somewhere since December 2 and also were sent via surepost.

@CLEM You mean "Not So Sure Post"!  I've recently had a bad experience with it.

Sorry to say mine will be returned on Tuesday. It did ok on the apples I tried yesterday but chewed up the zucchini. It is already ready to go back. I am disappointed as the 100 watt was not in the presentation or I would not have ordered it. I won't buy another one of Wolfgangs. I got out my DASH spiralizer and had it done quickly. I am hoping DASH will put out a larger one. Smiley Sad
