MIU France 90003 Vegetable Julienne Slicer, ABS Plastic, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)... and I do!
This makes 2 types of cuts, a "ribbon" cut and a "shred" cut. You can also make various slices and cubes by making cuts in the vegetable before inserting into the slicer.
I love to mix raw carrot shreds (much longer and thinner than pre shredded bagged stuff you can buy), I think of it as carrot "angel hair" with cucumber ribbon, and other shreds like daikon and jicama for veggie "pasta salads". Steamed zucchini, carrot, and parsnip shreds make a great substitute for pasta with tomato sauce.
If these are things you think you'll eat a lot and you like gadgets, this is a good buy. If you're looking to make perfect fancy garnishes, this isn't as precise as the expensive model spiral slicers. (or as versatile, I think some of the $250 models make more different sizes of shreds.)
Note on using it: read the instructions. You need to cut the ends of the vegetable even to get good shreds, and you need to apply steady downward pressure to the handle while turning, or you wont get long continuous ribbons or shreds. If this kind of thing is not instinctive to you, it may take some practice. Don't give up afer your first try, buy a big bag of carrots and practice the rotation/pressure to get it right.
So far it has cleaned up really well and pretty quickly, but you'll want to rinse it right after use because veggie matter does stick in the "shreds" blade and if it dries could be a pain to clean out. (carrots will stain the white plastic part orange, but it doesn't hurt it any.)
I love it and use it almost every day, but I wouldn't call it a "must have" for everyone. If you're not really excited about the prospect of shredded veggies for a salad or veggies as an alternative to pasta, you probably would not use it much.
if you could adjust the thickness of the ribbons/shreds and it were a teensy bit sturdier, I'd give this five stars.
