Question: Does it require batteries to operate or are they included?
Document: I found the use of this product to be quite simple. I created one long zucchini spiral on my first try (that's my image from 12/12/12 as proof). It's a nice way to embellish pasta dishes. Note: the product description says, "Lithium Metal batteries required," but this product does not require batteries - it's manually-operated.
We use it weekly in our house as a substitute for pasta. I don't know what all the concerns about the directions in another language are. The use of the device is self explanatory and very simple to operate.
This product does a great job. Veggies are sliced so quickly. Nice and thin so cooking is quick. Very easy to operate; sometimes a brush is helpful with cleanup. I keep finding more veggies to use with it.
Just love it. Makes wonderful spaghetti. Saut&eacute; garlic, onions, spiraled zucchini,yellow squash and carrots. Add large jar of bottled spaghetti sauce or make from scratch. May add meat balls and Parmesan cheese. Was disappointed that they included no directions or recipes.
This product is a great idea, but it find it dangerous as the food gets stuck in the slicer and does not wash out easily. you then have to pick out the debris clogged inside. Also the food is wasted because it can't slice the entire item, ie. carrot. Lastly, there are no instructions included with this product, except the English description on the outside of the box.
I had already one like this, which I bought in Europe. This one was bought to be a gift.This cutter is just wonderful. It makes a zucchini or a carrot to become like a spaghetti, with long and very regular stripes.The blades are very, very sharp, thus the vegetables don't break, allowing a very nice visual effect.Honestly, I can't understand some negative comments: it is so easy to operate and the only real requirement is to put some pressure on what you're cutting.
I think its even easier to get me to eat veggies this way.I would rate this 5 stars but you end up with a core of material that doesnt get shaved down that comes through the center and the included nub that stabs into whatever you try and spiral cut just shreds the end of the food and breaks away. You end up just grabbing it with your hand anyway. Second thing is its a little bit of a pain getting stuck food out of the slicing blades.
works great for makiing veggie noodles for pasta! i'd recommend it to anyone! I use it at least once or twice per week.
vegetable spaghetti? Its amazing!!! !I wasn't sure how i would like this and if it would even work..... wow I'm impressed... its pretty cool!
this was not genuine product it was a fake trying to mask as the real thing even the box had blurry printing on it
Answer: It's not battery operated..it's a manual slicer, but easy to use.
