    I suppose if you have lots of things you want to spiralize it's a good discount. I don't think I would use it once the novelty had worn off but our meals tend to be functional rather than pretty lol.

    My meals are functional......they test the smoke alarm :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    it could be just me but all these gadgets that do things to vegetables make me cringe :o those mandolin things that people use on cookery programmes make me shield my eyes :o :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    in reality how much courgetti would you use? I have to say I'm not a gadget for gadgets sake person. That said......I cooked pork chops for the first time EVER today :o so what do I know. I won't get to courgetti for at least 20 years :rotfl:

    Usually I'm you on that, I'm not a gadget person (in any SENSE, Mr Morton :p), but I think I would use a spiralizer a fair bit for more than courgetti, like chips and even in baking (could make for some interesting cookies :D). Hmmm may dither over this and wait to buy it.

    PD for me once the novelty value wore off the courgetti maker would soon end up as a dust gatherer.

    Im sure I recently read something about this.you can use it to spiral lots of different veggies as a substitute for pasta so oots of ppl are buying them to lose weight.dont know if its a bargain but I bet once you get one you will use it loads.it will get cheaper wen its been out for abit cos different comps will start making them.
    dh just got one of those things that looks like a ceramic saucepan with a hole in the top like a mini tagine.goes in microwave and does ommelettes and onion soup and baked apples.started off on shopping tv as £30 each :eek: but is now £12 each somewhere else.i think its dear but he likes it....keeps him happy:rotfl:
    People bring great joy into our lives..some by arriving, others by leaving.im trying to be one of the former, so please bear with :)

    LOVE ME, LOVE MY NEWFOUNDLAND.:A

    :rotfl: Mine are never pretty, usually slapped on a plate! But fair point. I'm usually quite wary of fad gadgets and won't buy anything unless I know it'll be used a lot (sounds so wrong ;)).

    Yes shredded things could be good for cakes (not courgettes :o) but I only eat them :o

    I'll get my coat I'm never going to be helpful on cooking bakery gadgets. But I'll come back if you need a rabbit :p:D :rotfl:
