OXO Good Grips Julienne Peeler, Black

Product Information

I bought an OXO Good Grips julienne peeler that worked great at first but after several uses the blades got soft and bent out of shape especially when I tried peeling carrots. With this particular product, they’ve also included a cookbook to help you familiarize yourself with the various techniques and functions that this tool offers. Julienne peelers are generally very easy to use, quick to clean, and, because they’re small hand-held devices, they’re quite accurate as well. Avocado Toast or Banh Mi Sandwich– Pickled carrot and daikon matchsticks add sweet, tangy flavor to these hearty recipes.

Stainless steel is the most common for julienne peelers because it can keep its sharpness, and it’s pretty easy to maintain. I attended a network marketing presentation in Riverside, California a few weeks ago and all the guests received a bag of naval oranges and a skinny plastic gadget for peeling them -- is it a julienne peeler? An added bonus is that this type of peeler also works on soft vegetables such as tomatoes without wasting any of their flesh underneath the skin. Spiralizers are astonishingly quick whereas julienne peelers can take quite a bit of time to make a full serving size or even multiples. It’s a great alternative for those who don’t mind paying a few dollars extra to avoid using a knife or worry about leaving behind small bits of fruit or vegetable.It is extremely sharp, making it easy to use without using a great deal of force, and it’s dishwasher safe so you don’t have to risk your fingers while you wash it.

Cleaning with a sponge or cloth could be disastrous, so invest in a quality cleaning brush to get around the edges. Their Good Grips collection elevates an average utensil multiple levels in terms of comfort and stability. A julienne peeler is a hand-held kitchen utensil which cuts vegetables into thin, even strips, in a style known as a julienne cut. The pointed tip is used to slice the peel and the other end is used to get under the peel and pull it away from the fruit with greater ease.

If you’re used to other julienne peelers, this one may feel a bit more awkward at first because it needs to be held at a different angle. A serrated peeler (aka speed peeler) is also a popular choice among home cooks because of its ease-of-use and affordability. This can cut shredding time in half, but remember to handle it with caution as you may not get a proper slice.

The stainless steel vegetable peeler is easy to use, just hold the vegetable near the top, then use some pressure and begin scraping the peel down away. Of course, julienned fruits and vegetables also made beautiful edible garnishes that are sure to impress at any dinner party or brunch.A julienne peeler may look similar to a Y-peeler but has sharp, jagged edges where you would usually find a straight peeling blade. Julienned carrots mingle with fresh herbs, pistachios, and sweet Medjool dates, and an aromatic dressing ties the whole thing together. Then, they must turn the vegetable so that strip size can be controlled and create compact rectangular shapes by slicing perpendicular to the original cuts until all desired pieces have been sliced. Working with half the onion at a time, make angled slices through your onion that are approximately 1/8” thick.
