287449 Sun Aug 05 18:01:26 -0700 2001 6 27 General Chowhounding Topics 0 1546271 I'm looking for a slicer that will produce a strand-like vegetable cut similar to that of the carrot garnish served with sushi, or similar to the narrow julienne cut used in Chinese stir-fry. I've seen a hokey-looking one advertised recently on tv. It seems to leave a good part of the vegetable unsliced as it reaches the center... wasteful. Does anyone know where I might find a good quality product? I live in Brooklyn, so a N.Y.C. source would be helpful. Thanks! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sun Aug 05 18:01:26 -0700 2001 0 Penelope 1 1546272 The below link is the website formerly known as Lechters. The Apple Slicer/Peeler/Corer might do the trick (and there's a bunch of Lechters's in town). What do you think?

This is a funky plastic spiral slicer which I do believe is the exact article that you are looking for. It was (believe it or not) about $50, but I love the little sucker. Hope that you can track it down.

You also might check Pearl River, Canal and Broadway; housewares are on the 3rd floor.

Good luck.

There are also some more expensive ones available -- lots more expensive -- in the $300-$400 range! The Joyce Chen slicer also goes under the name Saladacco. Here's at least one place that's selling it: Link: http://www.discountjuicers.com/spiralslicer.html Mon Aug 06 10:04:26 -0700 2001 1546271 0 Nancy Berry 1 1546294 There is a small Chinese kitchenware store on Park Row,below Pell St., that sells spiral slicers.I think that they sell for around sixty dollars.Also,try J.B.
