Know before you buy
The XL version features a significantly wider blade, which allows you to cover more surface area on larger produce like squash or cabbage. This design makes it easier to create wide vegetable ribbons and handle oversized fruits and vegetables that standard peelers struggle to span.
Yes, the supersharp stainless steel blade is specifically engineered to tackle the thick, tough skins of squash. Its width provides better leverage, making the process much smoother than using a traditional narrow peeler.
It is excellent for creating thin, uniform slices of semi-hard cheeses. The wide blade acts similarly to a cheese plane, allowing you to get precise, consistent results for sandwiches or charcuterie boards.
While it is optimized for larger items, it works perfectly well for carrots. You can use the full width to create long, elegant vegetable ribbons for salads or garnishes, though it may feel slightly oversized if you are only doing a quick, standard peel.
While the stainless steel blade is durable, we recommend hand washing and drying it immediately after use. This helps maintain the sharpness of the edge and prevents any potential corrosion over time.
