Vegetable Peelers, Salad Spinners, Herb Strippers, and Produce Prep Tools That Make the Boring Part Quick.
Nobody dreams about peeling potatoes or stripping rosemary, but a good tool turns that tedious minute into ten seconds. Better prep tools are the difference between actually cooking with fresh produce and letting it wilt in the drawer.
This collection is the fresh-produce pit crew: peelers, spinners, strippers, and corers built to speed up the unglamorous work between the cutting board and the pot.
Prep it and get on with dinner.
- THE EVERYDAY PEELER - the OXO Swivel Peeler glides through potatoes and carrots with a comfy grip, and the Rada Vegetable Peeler is the American-made classic that never wears out.
- Soggy salad, be gone - the Collapsible Salad Spinner dries greens so dressing actually clings, then folds flat so it doesn't hog a shelf.
- Stripping herbs or kale off the stem? The Herb Stripper / Chopper zips leaves off rosemary, thyme, and kale in one pull.
- Garlic clove being stubborn? The Garlic Peeler is a little silicone tube, just roll and the skin slips right off.
- (Fresh corn season.) The Deluxe Corn Stripper strips a cob clean in one push, and the Tomato / Strawberry Corer hulls berries and cores tomatoes without wasting the good part.
The fresher you cook, the more these little tools earn their keep.
