Learn how to use the Kilner Spiralizer Jar to make healthy vegetable noodles. Step-by-step guide with tips for perfect spirals every time.
Quick Answer
The Kilner Spiralizer Jar lets you turn hard vegetables like zucchini and carrots into spaghetti-style ribbons directly into the jar for easy storage and serving.
Why Use a Spiralizer Jar Instead of a Handheld Spiralizer?
A handheld spiralizer often leaves you with messy countertops and a pile of vegetable noodles that need to be transferred to a bowl. The Kilner Spiralizer Jar solves this by letting you spiralize directly into the 1L jar, keeping your workspace clean and making storage simple.
The jar also doubles as a serving container, so you can dress and toss your noodles right inside before eating. This is especially handy for meal prep or packed lunches.
Which Vegetables Work Best?
Hard, firm vegetables produce the best spirals. Zucchini, carrots, cucumbers, beetroot, and sweet potatoes are ideal. Softer vegetables like ripe tomatoes or avocados will turn to mush and clog the blade.
For best results, trim the ends of the vegetable so they are flat. This gives the spiralizer a stable surface to grip and prevents slipping.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Kilner Spiralizer Jar
- Prepare the Vegetable: Wash and trim the ends of a firm vegetable like zucchini or carrot. Cut it to a length that fits comfortably in the spiralizer chamber (about 4-6 inches works well). A flat cut on the bottom helps the spiralizer grip better and prevents wobbling.
- Assemble the Spiralizer on the Jar: Remove the jar lid and screw the spiralizer attachment onto the 1L Kilner Jar. Make sure it is tight enough to stay secure during use. If the spiralizer feels loose, check that the jar threads are clean and dry. A tight seal prevents the jar from spinning instead of the vegetable.
- Insert and Twist the Vegetable: Place the trimmed vegetable into the spiralizer opening. Hold the jar steady with one hand and turn the handle clockwise with the other. Apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force the vegetable. If it stops turning, reverse the handle slightly and try again. Forcing can break the blade or produce uneven spirals.
- Remove and Enjoy Your Noodles: Once the vegetable is fully spiralized, unscrew the spiralizer attachment. The noodles will be in the jar. Add dressing, toss with a fork, and serve directly from the jar or transfer to a plate. For meal prep, seal the jar with the original lid and refrigerate for up to 2 days. The noodles will stay fresh without drying out.
