This is my new gadget, a spiralizer - it's amazing have made a lovely cucumber and radish salad and tonight I made courgette noodles with prawns and a sauce made with cream cheese and chilli.

I am itching to play more but holding back until I can make something proper to eat rather than just play

It may still be a lancing device Nigel, the blades are extremely sharp, :eek::mad:makes great noodles in two thicknesses and spirals, I love my veg and wanted different ways if doing it and though I am not an extreme low carber with about 90g a day I don't eat pasta but really miss the sauces I used to make for pasta and wanted a substitute

It looks great Jack aren't they fun?:) I even have a pet name for mine now Walter Whirler - lol try this site for some great recipes

http://www.inspiralized.com/

I can really recommend if anyone is thinking about it it's the best £30 I have spent, the downside of most gadgets is usually the clean up but this is just rinse and wipe, so easy. I got mine from the site that Annie above has posted the link to.

I bought one a while back solely for making courgette noodles. It works so well!
In fact you end up using it for all sorts as it allows a variation on what is sometimes
a rather restricted diet. I got mine from Amazon, I would add its worth scrolling through
the search of Amazon as I found the unit had a variety of prices and managed to get
the same one as one of the first listed for £10 cheaper.
