Lurch Germany Catto Vegetable Sheet Slicer Cutter For Fruits And Vegetables - Perfect for Low Carb, Keto, Veggie, Vegan Dishes Like Zucchini Lasagna or Pasta Made From Potato, Apples And Pears

My sister has many, many food allergies: gluten, fructose, sugar, starch...I am always in search of ways to cook for her to suit her dietary restrictions and still have an enjoyable meal. This is the newest tool in my arsenal and it is a very appreciated addition. I baked a lasagna with zucchini sheets instead of pasta sheets--And it was delish! The machine cut nice, long sheets of faux pasta and I was able to build with a natural, no-additive ingredients.Though their was a minuscule learning curve (I did lose a couple of zucchini in the process of learning to use this machine), it was nowhere near as complicated as some of the other reviewers have complained. The only way this machine would be unsafe to use is if the operator handed the blade to their infant as a pacifier alternative. Also, I would highly recommend against using this machine in place of a loofa sponge while bathing.My only regret is not being able to visit the users who gave poor reviews and confiscate their forks so they don't accidentally stab themselves in the elbow while eating. Also, the blade is not machine washable.

The product has serious design flaws that prevents it from cutting vegetables into sheets, which is the product's express purpose. Instead of securing vegetables on multiple prongs as is common with most vegetable cutters, this cutter is designed to secure vegetables on a single plastic drill that bores rather deeply into one end of the vegetable. This drill expands soft foods, like cucumbers and zucchini, to the degree that it blows the vegetable apart. Once the end of the vegetable is destroyed the plastic drill just rotates inside of it and won't turn the vegetable to cut it. The only vegetable that the cutter worked on to any degree, was a regular potato. I attempted to cut a sweet potato but the sweet potato was too hard. Again the plastic drill that is supposed to bore into the vegetables just cracked the potato and spun around inside. While the cutter is well made and is easy to clean, it simply did not cut vegetables into sheets.

You need to use thick vegetables so a very wide thick zucchini (much bigger than those little things at the store) will get you much further I would think.Apples also worked well. But bigger wider apples not little ones.I was surprised how it handled beets- that was oddly very successful. Also had success with - celeriac, some sort of turnip, and potatoes. I don’t know what to do with these sheets of veggies though so … 🤷‍♀️Only so many vegetable zoodle lasagnas you can eat in a year- so, I might just use these sheets instead of bread for sandwiches/ wraps throughout the week.Kind of boring but better than frying tons of potato sheets in terms of calories. But the fried potato sheets are pretty tasty.I’m wondering about making beet bacon with this. Who knows.

The spiral (corer) broke off the second time I used the product. While I did love the idea of this product, the cheap plastic piece that spirals into the vegetable makes me want a better version of this product.

I used this the first time on Russet Potatoes. You have to cut the vegetabledown to size - about 5 inches long. it takes some getting used to but, thepotato "noodle sheet" it made was really good. Used a meat "stuffing" and rolledthem up. Was very good.Likes: Makes a nice long sheet if you have a decent diameter potato to work with.Makes one good sized baking potato go a long way. I used 2 and made 2 whole13 x 9 pans of "stuffed" potato rolls.Dislikes: The rolling handle and tube should drop into place instead of having totry to line up the vegetable in the middle of the machine and push the handle with tubethrough it. Very complicated set up in order to get ready to cut and there's no need for it. A little difference in the design would save oodles of frustration.I had thought when I ordered it that the tube would set through the vegetable then add the handle and end holder and drop into place into the machine. That would make things so much easier than tryingto figure out what size to cut the veg. then, cut it again so that it fits on the end piece inside the machine, then try to set the tube through the veg.

Works very well. I've used it on an apple and a zucchini. See the zucchini slicing video I uploaded. The strips are ribbon thin. I put silicone grease on the blade slides. Stuck well on the granite counter. Siction cups have tabs on the corners for easy removal. Chose this manual cutter over the electric versions because the spiral center core holder seemed like it was going to work better than the other products where reviews noted on a tough zucchini the center spun the soft core instead of turning the vegtable on the knife blade.

The media could not be loaded. I used this to make potato lasagna. I was happy with the results and the outcome of the potatoes as they were sliced. The only thing I didn’t like was the juice that came out while slicing. I didn’t expect it. It would have been also helpful if there was a cleaning instruction in the manual but since most of the materials are hard plastic, I just washed it anyway. The handle looks a little fragile as well. Overall, I love the product.

Nearly unusable and certainly not functional enough for use for a large dinner. Poor design and poor quality
