USING THE SPIRALIZER

1. Begin by cutting your fresh, raw food (vegetable/fruit) at least 1" in

diameter and 1" to 3.5" in length. Make sure the top and bottom
ends of your food pieces are cut straight and flat so that they can
be held firmly in place by the teeth on the holder and the center pin
on the cutting surface.

2. Move the Julienne blade dial from “Safe” position to the desired

thick or thin julienne (refer to Cutting Options on page 6). Turn the
Ribbon blade dial marked “Cut” out of safe mode, into the cut mode,
where the blade will be visible.

3. Position one of the flat ends of the food on the center pin of the

cutting surface. Apply enough pressure to stabilize the food item on
the center pin.

4. The center pin keeps your food in place while you adjust the shaft

and position the Cuisinart

®

Food Spiralizer’s food holder so it is
centered over the food item. As you turn the protective cover
clockwise, the teeth of the holder will grip the food, holding it
securely. Turn clockwise until protective cover locks into place.

5. Your food is now securely held in place between the teeth of the
holder and the center pin on the cutting surface.

6. To start using your Cuisinart

®

Food Spiralizer, rotate the handle
clockwise while applying downward pressure with the palm of your
hand.

WARNING

Please remember to set all blades to the SAFE position (no blades or
teeth will be visible on the cutting surface) before unlocking the
collection bowl to retrieve food or before cleaning the unit.

The Cuisinart

®

Food Spiralizer is not recommended for harder foods,

e.g., butternut squash. Keep food spiralizer blades away from children.

Pear Chips

With just the right amount of sweetness, these pear chips make the perfect snack.

Makes about 50 chips

1 pear, firm
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon granulated sugar

1. Trim pear to fit into spiralizer*. Preheat oven to 300º F. Prepare 2 baking

trays with parchment paper. Set aside. Combine cinnamon and sugars in a
small bowl. Set aside.

2. Prepare pear by spiralizing on ribbon setting. Break large pieces into single

layer rounds and place on prepared baking trays. Sprinkle pears evenly with
2 teaspoons of cinnamon sugar mixture. Turn pears over and sprinkle with
remaining cinnamon sugar.

oven and let pears cool so they become crunchy, at least 5 minutes.

making sure they are flat and even. Position tip of sharp knife over middle of
top of core and cut straight down (leaving ¼" from the bottom uncut) on one
side only. As food spiralizes, chips are pre-cut – there’s no long spiral that
needs to be cut into pieces.
