Spiral shredders come in a few different types. In some cases, you place the vegetable inside a small container. While others ask you to insert the vegetable into a horizontal platform. Read the directions carefully before using the slicer.

Don’t cut the zucchini in half vertically. The slicer will leave a small core that includes the mature seeds.

If you are shredding a very large zucchini, cut it into fourths. Scoop seeds out of each section.

Be very careful as you get closer to your hand. Reposition it frequently to avoid cutting yourself.
