Food Peelers & Corers
How to choose food peelers & corers
Type and sub-type
Choose a single peeler (Kitchen Tools & Utensils) if space is tight, or a combined cutter slicer for versatility.
Material
Material tradeoff: stainless steel lasts, but plastic/stainless steel is lighter for daily use.
Colour
Colour spans ten options (red, silver, black, white, green, orange, blue, grey, purple, yellow), so pick concealment or visibility.
Task fit
Frequent apple prep favours a corer over a multi-tool that spreads function across tasks.
Placement
Note the sub-type tag (Home & Garden, Kitchen & Dining, Kitchen Tools & Utensils) to match the tool to its setting.
What's good
- Basic peelers listed under Kitchen Tools & Utensils are compact and rinse fast.
- Multi-use tools like spiralizers or avocado prep items (within Kitchen & Dining) cut drawer clutter by handling several jobs.
- Stainless steel corers tackle apples cleanly, saving fruit versus a knife.
- Plastic/stainless steel hybrids give a lighter grip than full metal peelers.
- The colour choice (red, silver, black, green, orange, blue, grey, purple, yellow, white) helps you match decor or spot the tool.
Things to watch
- Spiralizers and 5-in-1 avocado tools are larger than a simple peeler, so they need more cupboard room.
- All-steel or stainless steel peelers can feel heavy and slip in wet hands compared with plastic blends.
- Wood or silicone handled items need hand washing, unlike stainless steel/plastic versions.
- A dedicated corer does one job well but adds another gadget to the drawer.
- Bright plastic in orange or purple may stain from strong veg like beetroot or turmeric.
Care & maintenance
Rinse after use
Rinse stainless steel and plastic blades soon after use to stop starch sticking.
Hand wash delicate handles
Hand wash wood or silicone parts, then dry them upright.
Clear pivots
Brush the swivel pivot on peelers to clear trapped peel.
Store multi-tools apart
Dismantle multi-tools like spiralizers before storage to avoid damp seams.
