Morphy Richards Electric Spiralizer 432020 2 blades Spaghetti and Ribbons Silver/Black Spiralizer

Product Information

Some models come with an additional mini bowl, which sits inside the main bowl and has its own blade – useful when you only want to process a small amount of food, such as herbs or nuts. Ideal for those dedicated to spiralizing, this attachment has two blades for noodles and two for ribbon slices.

Easy storage – likewise, a foldable and stackable model will save you some essential kitchen storage. Some food processors come with a lid that has a wider feed tube so you can process larger items, such as potatoes or cucumbers, without having to chop them up first. But be careful not to spend extra on fancy accessories if you’re only likely to use it for simple tasks.It is easy to clean, but isn’t the most compact and requires that little bit more space for storage. If you’re not looking to break the bank but want to crank out a good ole bowl of courgetti every now and then, this model will stand the test of time.

However much you decide to spend on your spiralizer, these are the key features you’ll want to look for. That said, many spiralizers are now dishwasher safe, so if you own a dishwasher it’s worth keeping an eye out for one with parts that you can throw in with the rest of the dishes. The ribbons collect in a beaker below, compacting in swirls – no need to constantly empty it if you’re prepping a large batch. An update on its trusty 2015 model, this improved version comes with sharper blades, a stronger veg holder and more reliable suction cup feet to keep it from shifting about on your counter. If the controls aren’t working properly, the issue could be that the bowl, lid or cover on your food processor isn't aligned properly, and the safety feature is preventing the unit from turning on.

If you have a dishwasher, look for a model with dishwasher-safe accessories so cleaning is less of a headache – but don’t forget to check the instructions before putting them on a hot wash. Though your only twirly options are simple spirals and ribbon shapes, this is the perfect tool for the lazier chef who doesn’t need much more variety to make their favourite veggie noodles. Not so here – after the action, one is left holding an acceptably small knob – which is a good thing. A few attempts ended with the potato becoming stuck on the blade and then twisting against the pusher, gouging a hole in the vegetable that made it unsuitable for further spiralizing. The firm stand features suction cups at the bottom to prevent slippage, while the precise blade swapping mechanism allows you to use all four included blades to your heart’s content – these include one integrated ribbon spiral blade which is 3mm thick, and four julienne blades between 2, 4 and 6mm thick.
