A la hora de preparar verduras, moverse con destreza por las partes complicadas no sólo te ahorra tiempo y esfuerzo, te permite aprovechar todo lo posible de cada alimento. Una herramienta ingeniosa también te ayuda a sorprender a tus invitados con impresionantes diseños en sus platos. Nuestros cuchillos mondadores y peladores te ayudan a afilar tus habilidades para que prepares platos con sabor y estética de otro mundo.
Usa todo, desde la raíz hasta las hojas.
Saca el mayor provecho de cada verdura que usas, y así desperdiciar lo menos posible. Empieza por lavar bien tus verduras. Aquí te mostramos para qué sirve esa “orejita” que sobresale del pelador de papas: es ideal para sacar pedacitos que no quieras de cualquier verdura, para que puedas aprovechar el resto, incluidas las cáscaras comestibles.
Guarda las cáscaras de zanahoria, papas o colinabo; corta las verduras en dados o rebánalos; guárdalos en recipientes herméticos dentro del congelador. Úsalos para hacer caldo o para agregarlos a otras sopas. Saltéalos para agregárselos a una pasta o ponerlos sobre una pizza. Cocínalos asados en una bandeja en el horno con un toque de ajo y aceite de oliva.

Yes, you can peel a tomato!
Sometimes you don’t want the thick skin to distract from a fine dish, so recipes call for tomatoes to be blanched, cooled and then peeled by hand. But there’s no need for all that work when you have our tomato and kiwi peeler – Yes, it does kiwis too! Its serrated edge is so sharp and precise that it saves you more time and effort during prep – time you could be using to focus on delicious creativity.
Use this peeler for tomato dishes like Italian bruschetta, or for smooth pasta sauces – cacciatore, arrabiata, amatriciana, puttanesca – where you don’t want chunks of tomato skin or their bitter taste. It also comes in handy for salsas – for tacos, for dips, or for nacho toppings. Here too, peeled tomatoes can make your salsa velvety, sweeter and easier to scoop up.
