Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Benriner Cook Help Spiral Vegatable Slicer
Customer Review: One of the BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENTS I have had in quite a while
Summary: 1 Stars
I wish I could reverse my rating of this device from one star to 5 but I am not able to- please keep in mind that I no longer want to rate this 1 star when you read this review.
At first, I bought this product and got nothing but frustration from it. Usually my entire family can figure out new methods and ways to use things, even if hardly anyone else can figure it out.
I had given up.
I had gotten nothing but frustration with the Benriner Cook Help, so I wrote a review of it expressing it as such.
After writing the review, I approached the Benriner as someone who never saw it before and I started experimenting.
My problems had been due to miscommunication on how to use this unit. There is not a whole lot out there about the Benriner Cook Help, so I was depending on the few directions out there, and none of them worked.
Here is what I figured out:
Although it is often told that you can make angel hair noodles from zucchini, I was always told that you have to use the smallest blades to do this. That is not true.
The key to using this device is that the softer the vegetable, the larger the blade attachment that you need to use.
The result is to have very long spaghetti style noodles just like you would cook, but they are raw. Then you made raw tomato sauce by processing tomatoes, herbs, and veggies and use it over top.
I have not been able to get carrots to work with this yet, but I have been working most intently with zucchini because that was my biggest goal in using this device.
However, I have found that if you apply pretty solid heavy pressure on the unit with one hand and the handle while you crank it with the other, I can get most of the zucchini to spiral out in perfect noodles. My family loves it and I could not be more thrilled.
At first, I was using the smallest blades for things- but they would not work, and I got frustrated.
If you have hard seeds in the vegetables, you will also find that they will clog up the blade area in any size and make it so you can not spiralize as well.
If you work with it and learn what size works for what- you can get a lot of excellent performance from the Benriner Cook Help.
Lastly, take the blades out BEFORE you wash it, and it will clean up very easily.
I regret that I can not reverse my previous rating, but at least I got another chance to do a follow up review to let you know the update about what I have discovered!
