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

A peeler for tomatoes?!? That’s amazing!
This is the kind of tool I would look forward to using while I cook.
I would love to have something to easily shred cabbage or shave chocolate.
Thanks for all of the great tips!
I love this style of peelers!

I just came across you website – excellent and relevant information that is clearly laid out. What a treat.
As for the Swissmar Classic peelers; these are the best I have ever used. I have tossed all others out and have several of these ones in use at all times; Cheese, garnishes, fruits, vegetables, chocolate, frozen butters, frozen/iced tuna peels etc.
A great use is for carrots. Clean and peel a carrot. Continue to peel carrot on one side creating wider peels, stack several peels together. Use a knife and slice the stack of peels very thinly on a bias creating very fine julienne carrots. Marinate julienne carrots with a good Japanese Rice Wine Vinegar for an easy garnish or salad. I also use the julienne carrots in sushi.
Glad you like the peelers. To date I have not heard from either of our winners so I can send them the peelers. If I don’t hear from them this week I will e-mail you to see if you would like a set. Thankyou
