Spiraliser: do you use it or does it gather dust?

Am on a diet, thinking of getting one for courgetti purposes. But it looks a bit unwieldy and I'm wondering if it's one of those gadgets that just ends up in the cupboard gathering dust....

I do like the idea but Dust! A pain to clean so I just chop now, tastes the same.

Mine comes out in the summer and to the back of the cupboard in the winter.

Used it a couple of times and got rid when I was on a keto phase. I don't want courgette spaghetti any more.

I do have a julienne peeler that is small, and gets used from time
To time

I bought one, secondhand, from a charity shop. In the box, clearly never used.

It's been in my cupboard of doom for 3yrs new, still unused!

PiffleIsTakingThePiss · 26/05/2023 14:28

Yes. One outing and into the dark void of the cupboard of doom where it remains to this day. It might even have turned entirely to dust now. I don't know.

Julienne peeler does the job for courgettes.

Martinisarebetterdirty · 26/05/2023 14:30

Used ours loads to start with. Now not on keto it’s in the cupboard of doom, but when we were both doing keto it was used at least 3 times a week. I won’t get rid of it because who knows if I fancy doing keto again one day.

I used it once. Tedious piece of crappy equipment! Gave it away to a friend.

Peel your courgette into strips using your peeler. Dress with olive oil. Top with pasta sauce. Eat.

Used it once. It was so cumbersome to use... Its in the cupboard now!

PickNewName · 26/05/2023 14:38

used A couple of times then, after several months, passed to DM. She used it once then, after several months, passed it back. I used it once more, just to check I hadn’t remembered incorrectly how much of a faff it was. I hadn’t.
Sent it to the charity shop.

Used a couple of times then banished to the cupboard.

Courgetti is soggy and unpleasant anyway, it's not worth it.

I occasionally spiralise a potato, spritz it with oil and sprinkle it with a pre-mixed garlic powder, salt and pepper mix i use then cook it in the air fryer. It's flipping delicious
