Product Pick of the Week: Swissmar’s Swiss Duo Peelers ::comment to enter contest::

Posted in Techniques on February 12th, 2010 by admin – 8 Comments

swissmar-swiss-duoI just got back from the Atlanta International Housewares Market and I cannot wait to show you the menagerie of new tricks and tools I saw. To spice things up, we are going to be giving away two of our Product Pick of the week.

I think my least favorite part of cooking is the prep work. I dislike it so much I usually try to talk an innocent bystander into prepping the ingredients for me, or I buy it already peeled and ready to cook from my grocer.

If this sounds familiar you are going to love the Swissmar Duo Peelers. Each set contains two different blades.

New, patented technology has given Swissmar’s Classic peelers a few new edges. These blades are scalpel sharp, which means less effort to peel and a thinner peel with every stroke.

Use the scalpel blade for hard fruits and vegetables such as apples and potatoes. It can also be used to shave hard cheeses and chocolate. Use the serrated blade to peel softer fruits and vegetables, such as tomatoes and zucchini. You can use a back-and-forth sawing motion to shred cabbage and create potato ribbons if desired.

I can’t guarantee these peelers will make you love prepping, but they will definitely make it a lot easier and less time consuming. Hope you win but if you don’t  Click Here to find a kitchen-wares store and purchase a set! Mary Beth :)
