How to choose your cutting and peeling tools

Which peeler for which job?

A fixed-blade peeler suits firm vegetables, while a swivel-blade peeler follows the rounded shape of fruit. A serrated blade makes peeling soft skins such as tomatoes easier. See the details in Peeler, or the best-selling SwissClassic range and the Econome line.

Mandoline or grater for slicing?

The mandoline delivers even, calibrated slices, useful for gratins or crisps, as with the Mandolines and Benriner ranges. The grater is better suited to shavings, cheese and fine preparations, such as the Explore range.

Which steel and what maintenance?

Favour stainless steel blades for corrosion resistance and easy cleaning. Check the dishwasher compatibility stated by the manufacturer and store sharp tools away from impacts.

What protective equipment?

For the mandoline in particular, using a food holder or a cut-resistant glove is recommended in a professional setting to make fast slicing safer.
