I need a gadget that makes matchstick cut veggies. Any suggestions on a kitchen gadget, mandolin, etc that makes matchstick shaped veggies. I'd like to eat raw foods and make noodles from fresh zucchini. Any ideas are appreciated. I want to spend less than $50. Thanks.

If you want to learn how to cut perfect carrots for soups and stews or julienned carrots for salads and such, you're in the right place. The crew at Saveur shows you how. Executive food editor Todd Coleman demonstrates two easy ways to cut carrots in the video. The first method begins with cutting the carrot into chunks, starting from the tapered end and moving up toward the wider end.

The style of cut is called julienne. True, a mandoline can make a julienne cut, as well as thin slices. However, you can also use a knife to achieve a julienne cut. First, cut the carrot into manageable lengths--2 or 3 inches. Cut a piece into 1/8 inch slices lengthwise. Stack several slices on top of one another and cut lengthwise through all layers to make matchsticks or julienne-cut carrots. It works best to have a large slice on the bottom of your stack, not a small one or the round side of the carrot.

Take the peeled carrots and cut them into 3 inch long pieces. This is to ensure that they are small enough pieces that they can easily fit in the food processor feed tube. You can also use baby carrots in a food processor. They are small enough to fit in the feed tube of the food processor and will shred nicely.

The second method is a version of the famous julienne, which is typically a tricky, small cut that turns the carrots into tiny matchsticks. Coleman slices the carrot very thinly at an angle, lines up the pieces and continues to cut them into julienne -- an easy cheat. Video from Saveur.com.
