A Little Snobby Alton - A Rouet from Amazon for $589.50
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

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. 10 lbs. #wcu-200100 $589.95 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. Jim in So. Calif.Read more

what's a rouet?
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Be prepared for the boiling of the beets to take awhile... Also, no clue what a rouet is or how to find out what it... is.... Guessing that it shreds/finely slices the veggies.? Wish he had listed how thin it be if gadget was unavailable!Read more

Great Taste, but lots of work.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe on a weeknight, thinking that the prep would take some time, but was still surprised at how long it took... to break down the ingredients. The listed recipe makes a huge amount of slaw, so I cut it in half. Great flavor and texture! I will definitely make this again for a potluck or picnic.Read more

Tasty
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I was looking for a way to eat more beets. I like pickled beets but this was much tastier and fresher. I only used the beets,... not the other vegetables.Read more

Great flavors!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great flavors in this recipe. Wish I could find a rouet! Is it the same as a Benriner turning slicer that Emeril sometimes... uses?Read more
