Straight peeler Microplane 48091

The Microplane 48091 straight peeler combines a balanced design with an integrated potato-eye remover for efficient peeling and for creating thin strips of fruits and vegetables for salads and garnishes. The ultra-sharp, curved stainless-steel double blade swivels to follow contours of both soft and firm produce, and the slightly heavier body compared with traditional peelers allows smooth back-and-forth motion with minimal pressure. An ergonomic Soft Touch handle is shaped for comfortable use by right- or left-handed users and helps the thumb and forefinger find a stable position for precise peeling.

Advantages

The curved, ultra-sharp stainless-steel double blade provides precise peeling on a variety of shapes and textures. The integrated potato eye remover adds convenience when preparing potatoes. The blade’s swivel action and slightly heavier construction enable efficient single-stroke peeling with less effort. The Soft Touch ergonomic handle supports both right- and left-handed use and improves control and comfort during extended preparation.

Suitable for

• Peeling potatoes, carrots, parsnips and other root vegetables
• Peeling round fruits such as apples and mangoes
• Creating thin strips of courgette, cucumber and other vegetables for salads or garnishes
• Kitchen work by both home cooks and professional chefs

Key specifications

How to use

Hold the peeler with the thumb and forefinger resting on the Soft Touch handle to find a comfortable, stable grip. Position the blade against the fruit or vegetable skin and move the peeler in a smooth back-and-forth or downward stroke, allowing the swiveling blade to follow the produce’s contour. Use the integrated eye remover to extract potato eyes or small blemishes as needed. Apply light, consistent pressure rather than force to obtain thin, even peels.

Usage recommendations

For best results, wash and dry produce before peeling and maintain a light, steady motion. After use, hand wash or follow manufacturer cleaning instructions to preserve blade sharpness and handle condition.
