How can you make zucchini noodles? Will they be long like julienne or spiral?

They are spiraled and very long. There are videos on you tube that demonstrate this product.

hello heather, the best solution is a immersion blender. you can puree in seconds and you can look at the puree as you are doing it to see if it is pureed to your desired consistency.less clean up than a food processor or blender. you can puree in the vessel you cooked the vegetable in. do not buy a cheap model. i would suggest a bamix, braun. or kitchenaid.search at amazon under "immersion blender". the kitchenaid with chopper looks good. it is $99. i have not personally used it.the reviews are encouraging. do your homework. read the reviews. make sure the shaft is all stainless. shaft. i have a excellent braun mr5550mbc it retails for $299. ouch! i did not pay that much. i am not sure why the price is so high. you can use it for many healthy snacks for children fruit smoothees etc. wonderful for making soups. i also have a food processor but find the immersion blender a better choice for puree. ace

I made my room mate sick and tired to zucchini noodles btu I can eat it all day every day .. you can even do it with carrot or any firm vegetable basically

The size of the julienned strips is good for citrus, but too small/thin for zucchini noodles, in my opinion. I would go with a spiralizer for zucchini like this one at Williams Sonoma. http://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/paderno-sprializer/

Yes, if you cook them too long. My suggestion would be to simply cook the soup w/out the zucchini noodles; then at the very last minute, put them in the soup and simmer for only one minute to warm them.

Based on my experiences using it, I don't think this up to making fries out of those vegetables. Very tough veggies seem to get stuck on the mandolin blade when you are using the julienne blades. You'd probably need something a little more heavy duty for those veggies.

You cannot make stuffed pasta like ravioli or cannelloni with this attachment, but you can make rigatoni, which could then be stuffed. I can imagine using a pastry bag to pipe a filling into the rigatoni, then sealing the ends. My favorite Italian restaurant makes such a dish and it is fantastic. But this attachment is meant mainly for making the long or tubular pasta shapes, not stuffed pastas. Consider the ravioli attachment, but you would also need the pasta roller first to make the sheets. Good luck!

You don't dice with it - not that I have figured out. Everything is vertical - so you can Julienne with it - but dicing would be (pardon the pun) dicey.

There are 5 Blades (Sharp Wheels ) approximately 1/2 " apart and Assuming that you have a means of rolling out your "Noodle dough" and a steady hand , You could probably make noodles with this tool providing the dough is dry enough where it wont stick to the blades.You've given me an idea so the next time I make Chicken soup I'll try it. If you are doing this , it would probably be a good idea to "Google " Home made Noodles for more opinions. Vinnie :-)

There are many sellers of these noodles on Amazon. Check the specific deal to see what is being offered. Also Google for sources outside of Amazon. There are many other brands of the same item as well. One word of advice on any noodle of this kind: if you want a sauce to stick, drain the noodles then dry them in a hot skillet. They won't stick (no carb!) and if they are at all wet, sauces will not adhere. Also, if you buy long noodles, you might want to cut them into shorter lengths (I use scissors while they're in the strainer), becasue they do not bite-off easily as do grain-based noodles.

I have only used it twice to make spaghetti zucchini and was most pleased with the results. It was so much better than the cheaper little hand units. Of course, one can only use the outside of the zucchini as the seed portion doesn't make good textured spaghetti. (Don't know how one can break the mandolin. The cutting blade certainly demands respect as it is sharp and can be damaged by misuse.)

I love my mandoline, but zucchini is difficult if you're looking for lengthwise strips. The guard can work to push the zucchini, but it really only works the way it's intended if you are looking to make chip-style cuts.

The noodles are packed in liquid. Drain the liquid, rinse well with cold water. Put in boiling water for 1 minute, drain and use.

It us much easier than a mandolin for making zucchini pasta...takes less time and less bloody knuckles too. We use it 3 or 4 times a week for 4 zucchini at a time.

The simple answer is, yes, but not spaghetti like you find in the store. Thicker and only as straiht as you lay it out to dry. As for noodles, absolutely. Take the long pieces and cut them to length before you set them to dry.

Probably raw in a salad but I steamed my zucinni for just a couple of minutes. I spiralized 4 good size zucini's and put a little spegitti sauce on it. My family and friends loved it. There are endless possibilities. Carrots either raw or steamed. I also purchased the rescipe book for future references.
