Could you use it for spinning boiled zucchini?

This is difficult to answer without knowing how crunchy or mushy you cook vegetables. I would not recommend you use this to strain any hot cooked items. Spinners are normally used for uncooked vegetable and fruits, including berries that are still firm. If you currently own this item and are intent on using it with cooked items, I recommend you experiment with very small batches. Remember that the baskets are usually plastic and hot items might damage or melt the basket. I hope this helps. Good Luck.

I haven't tried that, but I think if you went at a slower speed than I do for greens the zucchini would hold up well.

Don;t see why not--it was designed and created for making sauerkraut and other fermented vegetables. Give it a try.

I've only used a few times for zucchini. I think a food processor would chop it more. I think of a mandolin for slices. This spiralizer give you noodles, long noodles. Really cool. Kind of vague, hope this helps.

I've always used it as a salad spinner for herbs. That way they don't get lost in my large salad spinner.

I've only used it to make zoodles. I don't think it can be used for parking veggies.

YES, you can, make sure you have a "vent" hole and be sure its on/in a micro safe plate or bowl. First time, I only made 1 little hole and my creamed spinach burst !! I tend to use the boiling water method for heating. I've used BOTH regular sized bags AND special made sized bags.....its NOT the size of the bag, but the 'type' of bag that makes this so great.

From what I can tell, I doubt it. I think you would need a mandolin to slice the zucchini.

Hi Cold,Well, I don't think anything would stop you. The safety grip is not connected to the base unit so you can place the zucchini at the blade end and then put the grip at the upper end of the base. Zucchinis are stiff, so it's not going to droop off the back end. Hope this helps!

I don't see why not it will shred the zucchini I don't know if shape matters.

No, you would not want to cut the zucchini. Average size and smaller zucchini will work. The blades are very sharp. It is easy to twist the zucchini. You will get long spirals of zucchini and get left with a cute knobby end attached to a long small spiral from the center.

I use it only for chopping vegetables. I would avoid it for nuts as the body is plastic...

Yes we used it to chop up vegetables actually more like purée the vegetables for the salsa. Just make sure you're using an USDA approved recipe for canning salsa.
