In this episode of Everyday Cooks Recipe Club, Stephanie reviews her OXO Tabletop Spiralizer. She will share her opinion on if it is worth the money and shelf space. She also explores what you can do with the spiralizer beyond zoodles.

  • What is a food spiralizer?
  • Choosing between a handheld, tabletop, kitchen aid attachment and motorized spiralizer
  • Stephanie has an OXO Spiralizer with 3 different blades (cuts 3 different shapes) and suction cups to help it stay put on the counter

  • Foods you can use in the spiralizer besides zucchini: cucumber, potatoes, apple, carrots, onions, beets, pear, parsnips
  • This device has sharp blades - be mindful!
  • The device is easy to use and a little addictive

About the Podcast

Everyday Cooks Recipe Club
Welcome to Everyday Cooks Recipe Club—a fun, no-pressure cooking podcast for home cooks of all levels who love discovering easy recipes, helpful kitchen tips, and the occasional hilarious cooking mishap. We’re Kelly and Stephanie, two friends who started a cooking club to make our dinners more exciting and now we’re inviting you to pull up a chair and join us.

Here’s the deal: Every month, one of us picks a recipe. It could be a cozy family favorite, a new dish we’ve never tried, or something that pushes us out of our comfort zone. We each make it in our own kitchens, navigating grocery shopping adventures, ingredient swaps, and plenty of “learning moments” along the way.

Then we get together to dish on:
~Why we chose it
~How the shopping went
~The steps that made us cheer, laugh, or groan
~The tweaks we’d try next time
~Whether it’s destined to become a weeknight staple or a one-time experiment

That’s our main monthly episode, a recipe deep dive with real talk about what worked and what didn’t. The rest of the month, you’ll get short and snackable episodes filled with quick meal ideas, time-saving cooking tips, kitchen gadget finds, and simple recipes you can make anytime. Think of them as the side dishes to our main course.

If you’re looking for a home cooking podcast that feels more like chatting with friends in the kitchen than watching a polished cooking show, you’re in the right place. We believe great food doesn’t have to be complicated, mistakes make the best stories, and every home cook deserves a little club of their own.

So grab your spatula, pour yourself something tasty, and hit play. Welcome to Everyday Cooks Recipe Club where we’re sharing recipes, tips, and laughs one month at a time, with plenty of delicious detours along the way.
