Korin Vegetable Peeler

Yes, carbon steel is prone to rusting if left wet. To keep the blade in top condition, wash it by hand immediately after use and dry it thoroughly with a towel before storing.

While the blade is very sharp, carbon steel peelers are generally best suited for firm vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and parsnips. For softer-skinned produce, you may find the blade catches more easily than a serrated-style peeler.

At 4.25 inches long, this model is quite compact and lightweight. It is designed for precision and maneuverability, making it excellent for smaller hands or tasks that require more control, though those with very large hands might find the handle a bit short.

No, we strongly recommend hand washing only. The dishwasher's high heat and harsh detergents can dull the carbon steel blade and potentially cause corrosion, significantly shortening the tool's lifespan.

The design is symmetrical, meaning it can be used comfortably by both left- and right-handed cooks. The simple, functional shape allows for a natural grip regardless of your dominant hand.
