text: This slicer/cutter makes it easy and fun to create julienne strips of cucumbers, carrots, zucchini and just about any firm vegetable. Add the strips to pastas, stir- fries or slaw. The Spirelli is also great to create strips to garnish salads and food platters. It is simple to use -- place the veggie (straight and firm works best) into the Spirelli, twist the vegetable with mild pressure - and voila!
  
  The Spirelli, made of high quality plastic and stainless steel blades, can be cleaned simply in the dishwasher.
