    The vinaigrette can also be used on hot, cooked beets. Include the lemon juice in the vinaigrette. Excellent!

    To address the review titled 'A Little Snobby Alton...', if you search on 'spiral vegetable slicer' rather than 'rouet', you'll fin other slicers that are not in the 3-digit price range. There's even one at Walmart.com for just under $40.

    Having said that, for those who don't want to buy what appears to be a 'unitasker', simply julienne the slices of vegetables (very easily done with a cheap-o V-slicer. They won't be curly, but they will be finely cut.

    Le Rouet
    Spiral Vegetable Slicer

    Our Rouet Spiral vegetable slicer cuts vegetables and fruits
    into curly, ribbon-like slices. By placing the vegetable or
    fruit on the prongs of the wheel and turning the wheel
    while pushing the base toward the vertical julienne blade,
    continuous spiral strips are created. This vegetable slicer
    is equipped with multiple blades with either 5/64"(2mm,
    1/8"(3mm, 1/4"(6mm spacing and a straight blade for
    ribbon cuts. This professional, heavy duty slicer is
    very appropriate for a busy commercial kitchen.

    Sorry Alton, but most of your followers will probably NOT go to Amazon or anywhere else to buy a spiral food ribbon slicer. Great tool but to specialized and too expensive for most of us I'm afraid. You are usually so good about explaining things. Maybe you did in your episode.
