Samura Stainless Steel Vegetable Peeler, Julienne Blade

The Samura stainless steel vegetable peeler with a julienne blade cuts vegetables into thin strips. It is a small, handy tool for salads and garnishes, and you can use it in either hand. A small eyelet on the side of the blade takes care of potato eyes.

Blade and steel

The julienne blade is made of stainless steel, a corrosion-resistant material that suits a tool you use with wet vegetables every day. Instead of taking off one wide layer of skin, a julienne blade cuts the vegetable into thin, matchstick-like strips, the classic julienne cut. It is also a floating blade: it moves as you work rather than being fixed rigidly, so it follows the shape of the vegetable as you draw the peeler along it.

The blade is sharpened on both sides, which makes the peeler suitable for right- and left-handed cooks alike. On the side of the blade sits an eyelet designed for removing potato eyes.

Handle and size

The handle is made of stainless steel too. The whole peeler is compact and light: it is 124 mm long, 52 mm wide and 31 mm thick, with a net weight of 45 g, so it fits easily in a kitchen drawer. The peeler comes with a 2-year warranty.

Best uses

• Cutting carrots, courgettes and cucumbers into thin strips
• Preparing julienne vegetables for salads and garnishes
• Removing potato eyes with the side eyelet
• Everyday vegetable prep for right- and left-handed cooks
