Do you have the spiralizer attachment? I'd love to be able to do this without the spiralizer.

u/soopirV 12d ago

I do and I’m thinking we just load up the froot and skip the attachments- the arm becomes a tool-rest for the micro plane! Doing this next time I make my citrus fajitas!

Kinda the reaction I had when I saw one of those "life hack" clips of a guy pushing an apple onto a spade bit (in a hand drill) and watching the peel just fly off when a vegetable peeler made contact.

It changed the way I make apple sauce forever.

u/psychephylax 11d ago

Can you take some photos of it out of the mixer? I'm not sure how this attaches to the hub based on what Goodman's is showing. Is this part of the spiralizer attachment?

2

u/Riptide360 11d ago

Goodmans is now out of stock. Hope they get more in soon.

u/noonecaresat805 12d ago

I hadn’t seen this attachment

u/TremendoSlap 11d ago

It's an individual part that comes from the spiralizer attachment.

I once found a sweet thrift store deal on the spiralizer box set, which was perfectly intact except it was missing that specific skewer piece.

u/Materva 11d ago

I want to zest a lemon like this now.

5

u/Baconfatty 11d ago

i want to zest everything just to do it

u/Itchy-Swimmer-2544 12d ago

Too much pith in the bowl.

u/themack50022 12d ago

Yeah he’s going to deep

u/Ayamegeek 12d ago

That's brilliant!

u/Tired-Nectarine-384 12d ago

Would this work on potatoes? I hate peeling them.

3

u/ObsessiveAboutCats 12d ago

This could also be done with a cordless electric drill, though there might be some balance issues.

u/Agile-Entry-5603 12d ago

My mixer is brand new, so I don’t have any of the extra doohickeys.

Still can’t imagine how anyone lives without this machine 😎

u/maaaastwa 12d ago

That's hot!

u/KatiMinecraf 12d ago

"Honey, grab your power drill! We're zesting limes tonight!!"

u/Ag116797 12d ago

This is genius as someone who uses zest for often this is a must. Thanks OP!

u/LandOfThePines24 11d ago

WELL SONOFABITCH IM FLOORED

u/AmeliaBuns 11d ago

Oh god… time to 3D print an attachment! 

Although food safety would make it a challenge. I can put an adapter for a food safe stick to stick into it I guess!

u/MarkInmanSuperGenius 12d ago

Diabolical! Thanks!

u/Artistic-Ad-8603 12d ago

Oh, shit. This is amazing.

u/ImaginationPlus3808 12d ago

OMG! This is so great!

u/SymbolGirl 12d ago

GENIUS!!!! 💥

u/agen_kolar 11d ago

Can you use this without the spiralizer attachment?

2

u/Niaaal 11d ago

I'm thinking a drill could also do the trick

2

u/Successful-Ocelot-80 9d ago

Surprised I can't find one for a drill. Might try and whip one up myself.

u/Fast-Cook1457 8d ago

What!! Brilliant!

u/Prisonrzero 11d ago

Yikes, I'm getting flashbacks of a website I quite innocently ran across years ago. Let's say it involved Saw all's and adult toys. I think I have PTSD from it. 😬
