Why It's Cool: Turns your vegetables into "pasta" for healthier (and fun) meals.

We really like to julienne vegetables ...either as a primary ingredient in dishes like Zucchetti alla Colbrook, as components in a salad, or simply as garnish, a julienned vegetable adds color and character. We’ve reviewed mandolines, and noted the advisability of Kevlar gloves. And we’re testing some peelers and box graters that perform this function in different ways, and with differing results.

But among all the tools for this purpose, the “Spirelli 2.0” from the talented team at GEFU is truly unique: a clever design for both excellent functionality and safety, all in a compact efficient form factor. A very Cool Tool.

The Spirelli 2.0 allows julienne strips of almost any length - you will need to practice to produce the really long ones - of almost any firm vegetable: cucumber, zucchini, daikon radish, carrot, and more, up to approximately 2” in diameter. Simply insert the vegetable of your choice and turn! The hourglass shape feeds the vegetable against two different sizes of 2” julienne blades, made of high quality Japanese stainless steel. The center of the hourglass leaves behind a pencil-sized core, which is especially useful for those vegetables with seeds in the core, that you don’t want in your julienne anyway. The stainless steel handles on both sides of the Spirelli assure a firm - and safe - grip for leverage as you turn the vegetable against the blade. And it’s dishwasher safe for really easy cleanup.

We also have 1 of the original Spirellis left at a very good price.

When I first saw the Spirelli, I didn’t “get it”: it looked like just a gadget: not a Cool Tool. But we’ve learned to appreciate its design and operating advantages and we are really looking forward to using it regularly throughout the summer garden season. Stay tuned for more from GEFU: they have some other very Cool Tools, coming soon in Colbrook Kitchen.
