Tools That Love Veggies: For Gorgeous Presentation, More Taste, Less Food Waste
When prepping vegetables, deftly getting around the fiddly parts not only saves you time and effort, it lets you use as much of each plant as you can. A clever tool also makes it easy to wow your guests with impressive designs on their plates. Our paring knives and peelers help you sharpen your act, so you can create dishes that look and taste amazing.
Use it all, from root to leaf
Take as much advantage as you can of every vegetable you use, so there’s as little food waste as possible. Start by scrubbing your vegetables thoroughly. Here’s where that little “ear” sticking out of our peeler comes in: it’s great for digging out bits of any vegetable you don’t want, so you can use the rest, including the edible skin.
Save carrot, potato or kohlrabi peels; finely dice leftover veggies or cut them into slices; put them into the freezer in airtight containers. Use these vegetables for stock or to add to other soups. Sauté them to toss with pasta or sprinkle onto a pizza. Roast them on a sheet pan in the oven, dotted with garlic and dribbled with olive oil.

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.
