Raw pasta question

Do you guys recommend the salladaco or the spirooli?
I am not sure which one is the "best".
Thanks!

I own both of them and love them both... here are the differences I've discovered!

Saladacco/Spiralizer makes fabulous 'angelhair' noodles and spirals. The finer noodles absorb flavor from sauces very well. Very quick and easy to clean (especially if you have a dish brush)

Spirooli makes fatter noodles and is a little more versatile. I tend to use this one with larger and odd-shaped veggies and fruits because it grips them better. This one takes a little longer for me to clean, but has different blade attachments and is worth the extra work!

Hope that helps, Asnerek!

heres a little lessson on noodles .. veggie or not

smaller thinner noodles will absorb flavors (as observed above) but will not hold thicker creamier sauces

flatter broader noodles will hold/stick thicker fattier sauces (white sauces , cream sauces etc) then smaller thinner noodles

I also like the Turning Slicer by Benriner. When I make those noodles, they stay fresh for a couple of days, versus the spiralizer (which I like for the price).

As written above, the noodles from Spiralizer (angel hair style) you should eat right after putting sauce on them.

Cheers!

I've used my mandoline slicer to make zucchini pasta. Have any of you who've used these various spiral cutters had an opportunity to compare them with the mandoline's straight-cut strands? Is the result a lot better?
