Are the noodles about the same size as a regular spaghetti noodle? Also, do think this would work ok on sweet potatoes?

They are not noodle like, but more like a shred. They are julienne strips that come out the length of the veggie you put on the blade. I tried it on a Jicama and it was great, the sweet potato would be nice.

It would work, makes a perfect size "noodle". But it is a bit of a knuckle buster, be careful.

If you slice the zucchini the long way, the 'noodles' come out out long and thin, just like spaghetti. I have not tried it on sweet potatoes, because they're too high in carbs--but the blades do seem sharp enough to cut a sweet potato, if you put enough pressure on it.

don't know about the noodles, but used it with apples. Sweet potatoes sounds great and regular potatoes work great.

The Julienne Veggie Slicer does make your squash the same size as spaghetti pasta. I don't know how sweet potatoes would turn out.... worth a try though!

I haven't use the slicer yet, so I cannot answer that question. But what a great idea!

It works great. They come out the size of spaghetti and could be used for sweet potatoes but they will be thin

I've had quite a few students make noodles with raw sweet potatoes and yams.

The cutter that comes with the machine will make either a thick or fairly thin noodle. It will be flat rather than round. If you want to make other shapes you will have to see if there are other attachments that you buy. I found the thin noodle cutter slightly harder to keep clean so rarely use it.

Hi Robbin...I looked at both packages for you. Regular noodles (Ramen) 26g. Shirataki-less than 1g.John

The size is like a fettucini noodle and does come out flat on the ends. This would be like the Reams frozen noodles you buy in the grocery store. I love my roller set. My grandma used to make her noodles by hand, but since I'm usually making 3-4 batches of noodles at a time, this really simplifies and speeds up the process. It was worth the investment for me.

In northeast Ohio, oven ready noodles and boil noodles are the same size. When I used to use a bread panI used to break off the noodles to make them fit. That may work for you.

We have never dried sweet potatoes. We use it for drying wet dog food to use as treats but I would suspect that it will dry just about any type of food. I can tellYou that it works well.

The cutting blades are about 3 1\4 inches square, so you can cut a pretty big potato with this unit. Overall it is a very nice heavy duty unit with four blade sizes. Keep in mind these type of slicers work great for potatoes or carrots but not really made to cut sweet potatoes. So I would say nearly all potatoes would fit this cutter just fine. If you had some really gigantic size potatoes you could cut them in half and run them through the slicer.

NO! The mesh holes of the basket are way too big for spaghetti. You might be able to use it for Rigatoni or other large pasta shapes, but not long, thin noodles. For reference, the holes in the mesh are approximately 1cm wide, and a spaghetti noodle is probably only 2mm wide.

i used summer squash and they were in different sizes. i was holding it wrong to begin with so i didn't get all the squash done correctly, but what i did get done i mixed with a bottled pasta sauce that i doctored up and it was wonderful. hate pasta, so this was filling and great. the machine worked much better when i started holding it right. it has two different sizes on the sides so you can try which one fits yours. will be making more veggie pasta

haven't tried that but feel like it would work perfectly if noodles aren't sticky. the blades are plenty sharp and are spaced at a distance that would work for noodles

Yes I've used it for sweet potatoes. Some can be really big like potatoes so you just have to cut it down to fit.

I have the Paderno and love it, other than carrots are a issue unless you can find very fat ones, like I found one time at HMart (oriental market). Rutabagas work well and they are my favorite new pasta, They have taste and texture.

I haven't tried it. I mainly use carrots zucchini and potatoes. I love zucchini pasta. I've seen others that are bulky do a little better job but I just don't have space for them. I also have a mandolin which I use for cabbage.

Speaking from experience, i.e., using all types of bowls to make ramen in a microwave (including supposed "microwave bowls"), the noodles always come out MUSHY. Not so with these bowls. With these Rapid Ramen bowls, the ramen noodles' texture is the same as when you make them on the stove. Tastes great. BTW, I thought it wouldn't work as well - truly impressed - and I'm rarely impressed! lol.

I just tried mine on pickle size cucumbers (which is what I wanted it for) and it works great, but they're too thin. Only about 1/16 inch, so sadly, I'm going to send it back and get one of the adjustables. If you were going to make potato chips and wanted things thin, this works great and it's all they said it would be, from what I can see.

Works good for regular potatoes. Not so good for sweet potatoes. works good for the price. I think if I needed a new one I would get something a little more durable that provided some leverage to make it easier to doo harder things like sweet potatoes. I find it works best with larger potatoes that will not move while you are cutting them.
