Can I make spaghetti-like slices of a zucchini with this tool - the way a spiralizer can?

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

Honestly would not know I returned this item .. It wouldn't slice a tomato!

Yes. There is a separate blade that be changed and used to shred cabbage, sprouts, onions, even zucchini. Quite easy to change once you've done it a few times."

Jobaby44, yes, I have used it on the *8 ball zucchini". You may have to quit in the middle and cut off a little and start over (this is for squash, not a hard veggie like beets).

yes!!! continuous fine strands (like spaghetti). Also can make wider strands, two blades, fine and medium fine. Great tool. Been around a long time and used by many restaurants. Thank you. THE WOK SHOP

It cuts differently. I make spaghetti zucchini and other unique spaghetti shaped veggies the j cook in coconut oil or olive oil with a few more spices to add flavor topped with lemon juice. Kids like it because it looks like spaghetti

I used the spiral slicer for zucchini on the smallest setting and I steamed it and it did not fall apart. Also, I put it in soupand it did not fall apart.

I don't think it is a good use for this, I find a traditional peeler easier to use for potatoes and carrots. I use it to make zucchini spaghetti and its perfect for that.

I just hold one end with my left hand and press firmly on the zucchini with the cutter while sliding to the other side at the same time. Then I cut the end I was holding in julienne with a knife. Hope this helps ;)

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 slice the zucchini the long way, the 'noodles' come out out long and thin, just like spaghetti. I have not tried it on sweet potatoes, because they're too high in carbs--but the blades do seem sharp enough to cut a sweet potato, if you put enough pressure on it.

Yes--that is what I bought it for. I used the peeler to make the zucchini noodles, sauteed with a tomato and garlic in olive oil until a little soft, finished with a dusting of Parmesan cheese and a little chopped basil. I gave this peeler as Christmas gifts to my family members since I liked mine so much.

NO! The mesh holes of the basket are way too big for spaghetti. You might be able to use it for Rigatoni or other large pasta shapes, but not long, thin noodles. For reference, the holes in the mesh are approximately 1cm wide, and a spaghetti noodle is probably only 2mm wide.

Not if you're talking about the 'form' for making ravioli themselves. This will make the 'sheets' of pasta/dough that you lay on the ravioli form. This was really fun for my granddaughter and I to play with; check videos on line. Tip: Be sure your dough is a little drier than you might think.........to get the LONG sheets.

Sorry I haven't tried this - sounds like you have an interesting recipe. I think the shred blade would come pretty close.

My experience was pretty bad. I ended up throwing mine away. The blade wouldn't cut through any vegetable with a skin (e.g. eggplant, zucchini, etc) without tearing the vegetable. Even after I got the blade professionally sharpened. I would suggest a mandoline with a blade set at an angle.

I purchased this as a gift, but as far as I know, it does not do spirals; only slices, chops, or shreds items.

It would core it while it spiral sliced and peeled it. I think that would be a waste of a lot of zucchini since it doesn't need to be cored! There's no way to avoid coring
