 Benriner Turning Slicer....this design offers even more reliability!Apr 14, 2007
By Charw
As if it were possible, I've actually found another spiral slicer that I love even more! The Benriner Turning Slicer is very similar to the Benriner Cook's Helper, you'll often find this higher end model in restaurants. Benriner Spiral Slicers are ALL extremely reliable each of them offering true versatility and durability. These models are made of ABS and Nylon reinforced resin, this spiral slicer is here to stay! Just crank and churn with the option of cutting continuous strings, strips or curly strands with four different blades to choose from (1) Flat edged blade, and (3) Tooth edged blades (Coarse, Medium and Fine) This is all you'll need to get you're creative juices flowing. You can create beautiful salads, elegant garnishes and main courses, if you're a Raw Foodist. The famous Spaghetti type strands that all raw food diets long for, using yellow squash and Zucchini turn into beautiful replicas of their wheat counterparts. Want to experiment with super thin slices of cucumbers, potatoes, carrots, bell pepper and onions etc; be my guest because you can't go wrong! Everything turns out beautifully every single time. Cleaning is also a snap, just use soapy water to wash, rinse well and dry...that's it!
WARNING: handle blades with care....they are extremely sharp! You can also expect to replace your blades at some point during the lifetime of your Benriner, because inevitably they will become dull. Replacement blades are available on quite a few websites (do you're homework because I can't list them here) I've seen the complete set listed for approximately fourteen dollars. I agree with those who say this item is pricey and compared to the numerous poorly made spiral slicers on the market today, it certainly is. However, because of the level of reliability that you get with the Benriner its well worth every penny! Just be sure to shop around to make sure you're getting the best price. ALSO SEE: The Benriner Cook Help, or Benriner Cook's Helper or Benriner Asian Spiral Slicer.

Benriner Turning slicer works perfectlyJan 30, 2010
By Linda Appleby
I'm a chef. I bought one of these many years ago. Of course it was a much older model and shape. The first one was ver difficult to work. But this model is wonderful. It does everything it says it will do. Love this amchine..pricey but much cheaper through amazon than a store.

May be addictive....Jul 06, 2010
By Tim Scholl
My partner has been watching me suspiciously since I got this benriner. And who could blame him? I've turned every appropriately-textured and shaped vegetable in the fridge into gorgeous spirals of cucumbers, turnips, onions, carrots, and radishes, and then gone to the store for more. It's a food tool made of decent plastic, and watch out for the sharp blades, but it works really well. Can't imagine how I cooked without this!

A bit messy, but a Fantastic Tool!Dec 31, 2010
By C. Katona
Makes absolutely beautiful curly threads (of different widths using the various extra blades) from vegetables like beets and potatoes. Simple to use and clean. It can be a bit messy to use -- I recommend putting it on a cutting board because the juice from vegetables like carrots may run a bit.

Wedding present pruchased from Amazon wedding registry.Aug 18, 2010
By Tania Taalman
I bought this slicer for my daughter as a wedding present. I would never have thought of this product but it was on their gift registry and when I saw it I knew it was just perfect for them since they are vegetarians and love cooking and food preparation. After their first use of it she sent me an email describing their dinner. This is her description- the "pasta" is sprial cut raw zuccini (using the turning slicer...) and uncooked pasta sauce (made with the food mill) - a great summer meal - She also attached a picture of the meal and the "pasta" is beautiful, a really lucious green striped linguini. She is very enthusiastic about the slicer and told me it is fun and easy to use.
