I hear the spiral slicer comes with free recipes. Are they general recipes or specifically those that can be prepared using this product?

General recipes. I could not use this. It takes a great deal of strength for very little product. Faith

I bought this item in March and received 3 quick recipes in the package I received. After that Brieftons sent me an email with a link to download another 20 recipe ebook. These are really great recipes and from what I have seen can all be prepared using this spiralizer.

I bought the spiral slicer before they included the recipes and have not yet sent for them. Although I have no specific information about the recipe booklet I wanted to respond because when I reviewed my slicer, I was having a hard time with the learning curve. I now can use it fairly well, but it took me a few vegetables before I got the hang of it. My family, and I, love the addition of colorful and healthy veggies to salads, pasta, and even soups. I made a dish with pasta last night and added about half spiraled veggies and it was a big success. I think you will really like this product and not have a hard time thinking of things to add your cut veggies to.

I didn't get any recipes that I recall. I put all the stuff into a ziplock bag and gave it to Goodwill!

Hi Linda, Just use the regular recipe.Layer each row as you would any other pan.This pan just makes it easier to cut each slice without it draining the meat from either side of the noodle. This pan is so convenient and less mess.Have fun with it. Denise S

No. You can make up your own recipes. In face, the item comes with recipes you can use.

Just slices, but you can make such paper thin slices that they can be used in place of shredded in a lot of recipes. It really is a great tool to have.

Sorry I have never seen or tried the slicer Dicer, I just found the grooves that the blades fit through keep getting jammed and food gets stuck inside the grooves. It isn't as easy as the demonstrators show them to be. I wasted my money because I never use it.

I have used all of the settings I'm a raw vegan and I have kids so when my food looks fun my plates are clean. So far I have tried different spiralizers and this one is my fav. I haven't had any problem with it. Anyway you can always give it a try and if you are not happy with it.... Just return it. ^_^. But you can have fun with it. Hope this helped u. All u need is creativity to used all 4 of them.

no I do not believe a recipe book or anything comes with it. You can go to youtube on the net and get some info from some of the videos and such for using these.

Haven't really tried that yet! It's not an easy utensil to use. They don't make perfect spirals. Had issues with the vegetable shredding into short pieces.

If you remove the coreer and the peeler arm, you can slice anything that will stick on the three prongs. I have only done apples and potatoes, but I don't see why it wouldn't do anything that you wanted. There is a thumbscrew to remove the corer at the end of the device, a spring that will allow you to loosen up the peeler so it doesn't peel. This would leave you with only the spiral slicing. I don't believe it would slice all the way through though, since normally it does remove the cor. I have not tried to adjust that but it may be possible.

Ours came with the spiral dough hook and my wife bakes over 50 loaves a week for farmers markets and she has never complained and that is saying something. Although I have wondered the same thing and would like to know the pro's and con's of the spiral VS the C hook.

I didn't get the slicer blade with mine, but you might try Abtecparts.com. They may have a different slicer blade that can give you better results. I generally use mine for things like making peanut butter, cauliflower mash, salsa verde and things I want nearly pureed.

Seems from other posters that the french fry blade is a waste (very tiny fries), but the coarse slicing blade is excellent (some were annoyed that it wasn't standard). Another poster mentioned getting spare/backup blades from theessentials.com since this is a discontinued item. When I checked that site, I saw their blades are only $5-6, so will buy individual blades from them instead of the kit. I hope it ends up being as great as everyone says!

There are two blades inside the spiral slicer (no need to change blades), so you can enjoy thinner or thicker veggie spirals to your liking

I have certainly used mostly the finest setting--love those zucchini noodles! It is nice to use multiple settings to make a salad more interesting...try narrow spirals for carrots, then wider ones of cucumber. Potatoes have made nice curls on the widest cut.When I put the machine away I make sure to put the smooth side of the cutter down to prevent me from grabbing a sharp blade if I grab it carelessly in the cupboard.

Hi Julia, In my oppinion the "Spiral Slicer" is more of a domestic utensil, and very good. The "Vertical Turner/ Slicer" is more robust and suitable for professional use by chefs etc. They are both great products! Cheers Brian Thompson Australia
