🥦🔪 Become a food preparation master: genius cutting and peeling tricks

Maybe you’re craving a fresh fruit smoothie or you’re interested in sustainable kitchen practices and want to minimize food waste and maximize the value of your purchases. Either way knowing how to peel when to peel and with what tools can help minimize prep and maximize value. It can be worth spending a little extra on the best vegetable peeler because sometimes dirt-cheap peelers just don’t get the job done. With the right tools these peeling tricks can take your kitchen prep to the next level.

If you don’t have one yet it’s time to get a Y-shaped peeler. It’s exactly what it looks like the blade runs horizontally to the handle making it look a bit like the letter Y. You grip the handle under the middle of the blade instead of the bottom and you can easily pull the peeler without bringing the blade too close to your hand. Many leading product reviews put the Y-shaped peeler at the top of the list. These peelers are easier to handle safer to use and make the peeling process faster.

The standard swivel peeler can sometimes have a handy pointed edge that can come in handy so it’s not always the wrong choice. Different peelers have different ideal uses and you don’t necessarily have to throw your old one out but if you have room for one in your drawer the Y-shape is the way to go. It makes a big peeling job like working through an entire bag of potatoes a breeze. And it’s easier to grip.
