Description
A peeler is a kitchen tool that is used to remove the skin or outer layer from fruits and vegetables. It typically consists of a handle and a thin, sharp blade that is mounted at an angle and is used to scrape or shave off the skin. There are several different types of peelers available, including straight-edged peelers, serrated peelers, and julienne peelers.
Straight-edged peelers are the most common type of peeler and are used to remove the skin from a variety of fruits and vegetables. They have a flat, straight blade that is mounted at an angle and is used to scrape or shave off the skin in a single motion. Serrated peelers, also known as soft fruit peelers, have a sawtooth blade that is designed to easily remove the skin from soft or delicate fruits and vegetables without damaging the underlying flesh. Julienne peelers, also known as matchstick peelers, have a thin, jagged blade that is used to create thin, even strips of skin or vegetables.
Peelers are typically made of stainless steel or other durable materials and are available in a variety of sizes and styles. The specification of a particular peeler may vary depending on the manufacturer and the intended use of the tool.
