| I would just use a regular vegetable peeler if you are using it for vegetable "pasta". Those spiral slicers are gimmicky, aren't well-made, and often end up in a junk drawer after a few uses - that's my experience anyway. |

| I inherited one from my mother. It's from the 1940's. It is flimsy but it does the job for small quantities. I used it for making potato and carrot spirals for roasting or frying but I can't imagine how it would work for making veggie pasta. What kind of veggies would you use? How would you cook it? |
|
| I'm considering the one at the link--mainly because I'm gonna try fermenting some odd vegetables and this would increase the surface area greatly. Does anyone have any experience with it? |
Here is a link that might be useful: paderno slicer

| arley;that is the one that she has been looking at. But the reviews are so varied. My DIL is a vegetarian and making vegetable pasta with zucchini, yellow squash, carrots, is what she is looking for. |

| On Arley's link there are more 4 star reviews than 1, 2, and 3 combined. And more than three times as many 5 star reviews as 4 star. Personally I think those are excellent stats. |
