4 Best Spiralizers, Tested by Food Network Kitchen

Think of this as the old-school way to create new-fangled noodles. Sort of like a pencil sharpener, a hand-held spiralizer requires you to manually spin your vegetables against the blades, which means those blades better be sharp — and the build of the model needs to be sturdy, so you don’t end up with a pile of hacked-up produce and a seriously cramped hand. That’s where the OXO comes in. It boasts three (generally effective) color-coded cutters and a cap, which can be affixed to the end of the vegetables for extra support, when they get too short to hold. Granted, it’s definitely best for small jobs, but it’s also brilliant for small spaces — diminutive enough to pop in a drawer, keep in a dorm room or even stash in an overnight bag. Have on-the-go vegetable spirals, anytime or anywhere you choose!
