This unit does require some practice to achieve beautiful garnishes.  It is important to use veggies that are relatively straight or have very little curve. Vegetables should be cut into pieces 3 1/2 inches long or shorter with ends cut perfectly straight. Make sure that the vegetable is centered in the spiral slicer.  With some practice and acquired skill you’ll be making lovely garnishes
