Easy to load—Cut the ends off of a zucchini, summer squash, sweet potato or other similar firm veggie, mount one end on the drive plate and slide the face plate up flush against the other end. Easy to use—The Noodler is securely mounted to the counter, perfectly balanced, and specially equipped with an extremely smooth drive mechanism. So, cranking out mounds of noodles, even at high speed, takes little to no effort. Easy to clean—Spin a few wing nuts and remove from the base mount. Just like that, the Noodler is prepped for a thorough wash down in the sink. Sound, simple mechanical design-operation minimizes potential for maintenance issues and makes troubleshooting a virtual no-brainer. Sand-cast aluminum construction withstands anything the commercial kitchen can dish out. NSF-approval meets food-safety standards.
