Questions and Answers
Q: Is a Y peeler better than a swivel peeler?
A: It's down to how you like to hold it. A Y peeler pulls towards you and suits round veg and long strokes, while a straight peeler feels more like a knife.
Q: Can I peel tomatoes without blanching them?
A: Yes. The sharp blade takes the skin off ripe tomatoes and peaches without crushing the flesh, so there's no need to blanch them first.
