Vegetable Peeler

• A peeler is a kitchen tool a metal/steel blade with a handle. It is used to remove skins/peels of vegetables and fruit.
• The peeler blade normally has a slot, one side that is sharp to peel the skins and one side to stop blade going into the food as you peel.
• Blunt vegetable peeler blades can be very dangerous as they can slip more than sharp blades.
• Veggies peelers can peel carrots, cucumber, apples, mango, potatoes, kiwi fruit and pears and more.
• The vegetable peeler was invented in 1947.
• The peeler was invented by Alfred Neweczerzal of Davos, Switzerland.
• The peeler has a swivel-blade for gliding over bumps
• The peeler has a potato eye remover on one side of the peeler from the opposite side from the swivel-blade.
• The handle sometimes has this black covering for grip and safe using.
• There is a hanging loop at the end or on the peeler for convenient storage.
• There are more than 1 type of veggie peelers.
• Euro Peeler is a sleek and stylish design that makes peeling fruits and vegetables simple. The Euro Peeler features a swivel head blade constructed of tough, rust-resistant steel. The peeler handle provides a sure, comfortable grip.
• A Y peeler is in the shape of a y and is a can go through the toughest of all fruits and veggie skins with ease and has a really good handle grip. It has a wider handle which is better than thinner handles and has more of an easier grip and doesn't slip even when your hands are wet.
• The swivel peeler kinda looks like an Euro peeler but can go through tough skins and doesn't waste and of the fruit and veggies and is very sharp.
• A fixed blade knife, sometimes called a sheath knife, doesn't slide, and is pretty stronger, and lack of moving parts. A fixed blade is typically not a peeler but its very sharp and could cut fruit and veggies if needed.
• Reasons why we need vegetable peelers are that it doesnt take as long if you were using a knife. It doesnt cut all the good vitamins out of the Veggies. We won't cut ourselves and if you’re in a rush you dont have to worry about making a mess and taking forever.
