Compact and easy to store, the peeler is suitable for both home cooks and professional kitchens seeking a reliable, simple tool for prep work.

Suitable for

• Peeling potatoes, apples, pears and other firm produce
• Removing skins from softer items such as tomatoes and kiwifruit (with care)
• Preparing vegetables for soups, stews and salads
• Everyday home cooking and small-scale professional food preparation

Key specifications

• Swivel metal blade that follows contours for even peeling
• Ergonomic handle designed for a secure, comfortable grip
• Handheld, compact design for easy storage
• Suitable for repeated daily use in home and light professional settings

How to use

Hold the peeler by the handle with your dominant hand and position the blade against the produce. Use short, controlled strokes away from your hand, allowing the swivel blade to follow the surface curvature. For round items, rotate the fruit or vegetable as you peel to maintain an even motion. Apply lighter pressure on softer skin to avoid cutting into the flesh. After use, rinse the peeler under running water and dry thoroughly before storing.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the peeler on clean, firm produce and inspect the blade periodically for wear. Avoid using the tool on frozen items or for tasks outside its intended purpose, such as cutting or prying, to maintain blade condition and safety.
