Peeling quickly and well is mostly about matching the tool to the food. A rotary peeler for batch peeling, a dedicated kiwi tool, a “finger” peeler for precision work, a mandoline for even slicing and an apple corer for fruit: here are the 5 essentials to save time in the kitchen.
1. The rotary peeler: batch peeling
To peel carrots, potatoes and fruit in a row, the 3-in-1 Rotary Peeler peels, juliennes and slices with the same grip. Thin peelings mean less waste and a steady motion.
2. The kiwi peeler: flesh without skin, in one move
Kiwi is slippery and delicate. The 3-in-1 Kiwi Tool opens, scoops and slices the fruit cleanly, without crushing it: perfect for fruit salads and breakfast bowls.
3. The finger peeler: precision and safety
For small vegetables and detailed work, the Finger Peeler follows the movement of your hand: more control, less risk of cuts, and great for getting kids involved too.
4. The mandoline: thin, even slices
When you need perfectly even slices (gratins, crisps, salads), the Premium Adjustable Stainless Mandoline saves huge amounts of time. Set the thickness and always use the safety guard.
5. The apple corer: cores and pips in one go
The 304 Stainless Apple Corer removes the core in a single motion: ideal for baked apples, stuffed fruit or simply clean wedges.
Tips to go faster (and waste less)
- Peel over a bowl or bag to collect peelings in one move.
- A sharp peeler takes a thin peel: less waste, less effort.
- Many vitamins sit just under the skin: peel thinly, or not at all for well-washed organic produce.
FAQ — Peeling fruit and vegetables
How do you peel a kiwi easily?
Cut off both ends, then use a dedicated tool that separates flesh from skin in one move, without crushing the fruit.
Do you always need to peel vegetables?
No: for well-scrubbed organic produce (carrot, courgette, new potato), the skin is edible and rich in fibre. A simple brush is often enough.
How do you avoid cutting yourself with a mandoline?
Always use the supplied food holder/guard and slice with a steady, unhurried motion.
