I bought my girlfriend one for Christmas and she loves it. I love it because she likes to make dishes using it and I'm always hungry and up to try anything somewhat healthy and that's less I have to cook.

A cooked, healthy meal and a girlfriend? You win the internet.

Yeah I love to make zucchini noodles to replace pasta. It's surprisingly good (though nothing beats the real thing) and really healthy.

I hated that. Too wet. If my wife could figure out how to make them, then cook them without adding more water to the sauce, then maybe.

Would like to try with Butternut.

If you must use vegetables for noodles and they're too wet, after you shred them put them in a clean towel or a couple of layers of cheesecloth and draw up the corners and use a wooden spoon to make something like a hobo's bindle.



Twist the hell out of the top part where it attaches to the stick to squeeze the bejeezus out of the vegetables and wring as much water out as you can. Salting and letting them sit for a while before you wring might draw even more water out, but you run the risk of throwing your seasoning off if you're not careful.

Incidentally, if you're trying to make shredded hash browns and they just won't come out crispy or brown well, this is probably the exact step in your procedure you're missing.
