Lurch Germany Catto Vegetable Sheet Slicer Cutter For Fruits And Vegetables - Perfect for Low Carb, Keto, Veggie, Vegan Dishes Like Zucchini Lasagna or Pasta Made From Potato, Apples And Pears

I wish it was able to sheet zucchini better, as I grow a lot in my garden, but otherwise, this is an amazing kitchen tool!

The product has serious design flaws that prevents it from cutting vegetables into sheets, which is the product's express purpose. Instead of securing vegetables on multiple prongs as is common with most vegetable cutters, this cutter is designed to secure vegetables on a single plastic drill that bores rather deeply into one end of the vegetable. This drill expands soft foods, like cucumbers and zucchini, to the degree that it blows the vegetable apart. Once the end of the vegetable is destroyed the plastic drill just rotates inside of it and won't turn the vegetable to cut it. The only vegetable that the cutter worked on to any degree, was a regular potato. I attempted to cut a sweet potato but the sweet potato was too hard. Again the plastic drill that is supposed to bore into the vegetables just cracked the potato and spun around inside. While the cutter is well made and is easy to clean, it simply did not cut vegetables into sheets.

My sister has many, many food allergies: gluten, fructose, sugar, starch...I am always in search of ways to cook for her to suit her dietary restrictions and still have an enjoyable meal. This is the newest tool in my arsenal and it is a very appreciated addition. I baked a lasagna with zucchini sheets instead of pasta sheets--And it was delish! The machine cut nice, long sheets of faux pasta and I was able to build with a natural, no-additive ingredients. Though their was a minuscule learning curve (I did lose a couple of zucchini in the process of learning to use this machine), it was nowhere near as complicated as some of the other reviewers have complained. The only way this machine would be unsafe to use is if the operator handed the blade to their infant as a pacifier alternative. Also, I would highly recommend against using this machine in place of a loofa sponge while bathing. My only regret is not being able to visit the users who gave poor reviews and confiscate their forks so they don't accidentally stab themselves in the elbow while eating. Also, the blade is not machine washable.

So this thing is not easy to use if you have zero experience with the mandolin machine. I did not know what I was doing and thought this was gonna be easier to use than it was but after trial and air I eventually did get a good rhythm with it. My suggestion is not to use oddly shaped items because it will definitely mess up the thickness which could affect your cooking. Overall though I do like the machine but I just don’t really see myself using it that much because it’s kind of a one trick pony. As far as learning how to use it it’s kind of a DIY situation because the instructions are in another language and you kind of have to look pretty deep in the booklet in those specific order to find the instructions and even then they’re similar to IKEA that they’re only images and it doesn’t really help actually. Also you do need to have some good solid strength in order to get the item you’re slicing into the holder. Overall good idea, Needs a little bit better of execution. On a high note though it is supremely easy to clean!

I used this the first time on Russet Potatoes. You have to cut the vegetable down to size - about 5 inches long. it takes some getting used to but, the potato "noodle sheet" it made was really good. Used a meat "stuffing" and rolled them up. Was very good. Likes: Makes a nice long sheet if you have a decent diameter potato to work with. Makes one good sized baking potato go a long way. I used 2 and made 2 whole 13 x 9 pans of "stuffed" potato rolls. Dislikes: The rolling handle and tube should drop into place instead of having to try to line up the vegetable in the middle of the machine and push the handle with tube through it. Very complicated set up in order to get ready to cut and there's no need for it. A little difference in the design would save oodles of frustration. I had thought when I ordered it that the tube would set through the vegetable then add the handle and end holder and drop into place into the machine. That would make things so much easier than trying to figure out what size to cut the veg. then, cut it again so that it fits on the end piece inside the machine, then try to set the tube through the veg.

You need to use thick vegetables so a very wide thick zucchini (much bigger than those little things at the store) will get you much further I would think. Apples also worked well. But bigger wider apples not little ones. I was surprised how it handled beets- that was oddly very successful. Also had success with - celeriac, some sort of turnip, and potatoes. I don’t know what to do with these sheets of veggies though so … 🤷‍♀️ Only so many vegetable zoodle lasagnas you can eat in a year- so, I might just use these sheets instead of bread for sandwiches/ wraps throughout the week. Kind of boring but better than frying tons of potato sheets in terms of calories. But the fried potato sheets are pretty tasty. I’m wondering about making beet bacon with this. Who knows.

I used this to make potato lasagna. I was happy with the results and the outcome of the potatoes as they were sliced. The only thing I didn’t like was the juice that came out while slicing. I didn’t expect it. It would have been also helpful if there was a cleaning instruction in the manual but since most of the materials are hard plastic, I just washed it anyway. The handle looks a little fragile as well. Overall, I love the product.

This is a piece of garbage. I expected so much more from all the hype, the video, and it being made in Germany. I could not get this slicer to work. I missed the return deadline, and it is a piece of JUNK. DO NOT waste your money, or contact me if you really want one. I'll sell it to you for half the price!

Hallo zusammen! Wir sind beim Stöbern auf den Catto von Lurch gestoßen. Wir kochen gern kreativ und "oftmals" auch gesund. Somit hat uns die Idee, Obst und Gemüse in dünne und zugleich breite Bahnen schneiden zu können, sehr angesprochen. Wir wollten das einmal ausprobieren, zumal wir von dem Hersteller schon einen Spiralschneider und den sog. Twister zum "aushöhlen" von Obst und Gemüse haben. Bestellt, schnell geliefert und kompakt verpackt. Schickes Design, gute Anleitung, Rezepte etc. liegen bei. Der Catto war schnell zusammen gebaut (auch ohne Anleitung) und die beiliegenden Rezepte haben uns zu Eigenkreationen angeregt. Der Härtetest: Wir haben ein Essen für 8 Personen geplant. Vier Zucchini (gerollt und gefüllt) mit Serrano-Schinken, einem selbst gemachten Dattel-Curry-Dip, Tomatensoße, gewürztem Mett und geraspeltem Gauda-Käse. Als Beilage noch "echte" Nudeln und Gemüsespaghetti aus Kohlrabi gewürzt mit Salz, Pfeffer und Paprikagewürz. Lecker! So funktioniert's: Obst o. Gemüse auf ca. 8cm Länge schneiden und auf die Vorrichtung drehen. Dann die Arretierung auf der anderen Seite in das Gemüse stecken. Anschließend die Messervorrichtung auf die Edelstahlstäbe schieben und an das Gemüse drücken. Jetzt braucht man nur noch zu Kurbeln. Nach einem kurzen Übungslauf waren wir mit den Ergebnissen sehr zufrieden. Je nach Dicke des Gemüses bekommt man ellenlange Gemüse- oder Obstbahnen, in die wir alles erdenkliche hätten einrollen können. Super Sache! Tipp: Es bleibt ein recht dicker Rest auf der Vorrichtung des Catto übrig. Um diesen so gut wie möglich zu verwerten, haben wir unseren Zucchini-Rest mit dem oben erwähnten Twister ausgehöhlt, mit Mett gefüllt und Käse bestreut im Ofen gebacken. So blieb nichts außer den Kernen über. Allerdings darf das Obst oder Gemüse nicht zu weich sein, da es sich sonst mitdreht. Alternativ könnt ihr die Reste natürlich auch in Scheiben oder Würfel schneiden. Fazit: Wir sind mit dem Lurch Catto sehr zufrieden. Er liefert gute Ergebnisse und bereichert unsere Küche mit weiteren kreativen Möglichkeiten und um bei Familie und Freunden Eindruck zu schinden :). Top!
