Opinel peeler

Buying an Opinel potato peeler

When buying an Opinel peeler, it is important to decide which material and shape you prefer. Opinel offers both Y-peelers and I-peelers. The Y-shaped peeler is especially useful for peeling thin-skinned fruit and vegetables, such as cucumbers, apples or pears. The I-shaped thin peelers are ideal for peeling hard-skinned fruit and vegetables such as a potato or carrot. Of course, both peelers are just fine for all fruits and vegetables.

In addition to the shape, the materials used are very important. Will you choose the classic wooden handle or a plastic one? The advantage of a plastic handle is that the peeler can simply go into the dishwasher. It is better to wash the wooden peelers by hand. The dishwasher affects the wood, which can cause discolouration and splintering.
