(Food-Beverage-News.Com, November 24, 2014 ) Beaverton, OR -- The VegePal team has taken great care in making available a product that is well designed and of the highest quality. There are vegetable spiral slicers available today that has poor quality blades, or the logo fades after a few washes in the dishwasher. Also, vegetables can be wasted as a result of using the wrong end of the product when preparing a meal. A mistake which is easily made when one wishes to prepare a dish with thin spirals only but due to no markings one can easily end up preparing mixed size spirals. Due to such experiences, the VegePal team took to work to address the weaknesses of other similar available products.
The VegePal spiral slicer has high quality sharp stainless steel blades in two julienne sizes for creating vegetable 'pasta' or Asian noodles (1/16" x 3/32" or 2mm x 3mm), or 'tagliatelle' (1/8" x 3/16" or 3.5mm x 5mm). These spiral sizes are clearly marked on each end of the two stainless steel handles. The body is BPA-free ABS plastic. The VegePal logo and the julienne size markings are silk etched and treated onto the stainless steel handles and cannot be washed off in a dishwasher or under a tap. Meaning, years later this product will still have its julienne size markings and its branding clearly visible.
