Know before you buy
Standard peelers often tear or crush delicate skins like those on tomatoes or peaches. The Zyliss Soft Skin Peeler uses acid-etched stainless steel blades that are specifically designed to grip and slice through soft surfaces cleanly without bruising the fruit.
While it is optimized for soft-skinned produce, the durable stainless steel construction allows it to handle firm vegetables as well. However, it is specifically engineered for precision on delicate items, so you may find it performs differently than a heavy-duty swivel peeler on root vegetables.
The peeler is dishwasher safe, making cleanup straightforward. For the best longevity of the blade's sharpness, you can also hand wash it with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
The built-in spot cutter is a small, pointed tip on the side of the blade head. It is designed to easily dig out eyes from potatoes or remove small blemishes and bruises from fruits and vegetables without needing a separate paring knife.
Yes, the handle is designed with an ergonomic shape that fits naturally in the palm. This reduces the amount of pressure required to peel, making it a comfortable choice for extended prep sessions.
