#FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PEELER SKIN#
Peelers can remove the skin from produce, including eggplant, mango and butternut squash.

This peeler makes it quick and easy to cut fruits or vegetables in strips for salads, stir-fries or as a garnish. The julienne blade is lined with several small blades to mimic the style of cutting known as julienning. Most julienne peelers function similarly to Y-shaped models: Pull the blade toward you to slice the fruit or vegetable. Unlike most peelers, the julienne model is designed for cutting fruits and vegetables into thin, uniform strips, instead of just removing peels. Handles often are made of plastic and come with a no-slip grip that makes it safer and more comfortable to use. This curved piece provides extra safety by covering the top of the blade. Swivel peelers have a half-moon design similar to the sword-shaped peeler but with a swiveling steel blade mounted on the “C”-shaped, or half-moon, part of the handle. These peelers can be more comfortable to hold and keep the blade farther from your hands - a safety perk for the user. Blades often are made of stainless steel, and handles are usually made of plastic. Unlike the sword-shaped design, this peeler works by pulling the tool toward you to remove the skin. This peeler has a “Y” shape with a horizontal swiveling blade in between the top end of the prongs. Handles come in many materials, such as metal, plastic or rubber. Blades on sword-shaped peelers can be serrated, making it easier to remove tougher skins, such as on winter squash or citrus fruits. Most sword-shaped peelers have a pointed end for digging out blemishes from fruits or vegetables, and the blades often are made of stainless steel. This is the original design and is referred to as a “Yorkshire” or “Lancashire” peeler in the United Kingdom. It works by running the blade along the fruit or vegetable and pushing away to remove the peel. Most often, peelers have a steel blade attached to a handle made of steel, metal, rubber or plastic.Ī widely used design, sword-shaped or straight peelers have a swiveling double blade that extends straight from the handle, much like a sword.
