    If you don't cut off the non blossom end of the zucchini you can cut down further and just throw away that end instead of cutting it off and throwing it out beforehand. If that makes any sense. I also cut off the noodles into decent lengths as I spiralize them so no need to go into the bowl and do it later.

    I like the salt and pepper grinders you used in the zucchini recipe demonstration (which is very helpful because I always got watery zucchini before). What brand are the pepper/salt grinders please? Thank you for all your recipes. I have a favourite zucchini/shrimp recipe but I always ended up with too much water. Now, however, I am going to make sure I use your technique.
