Typically used to peel the skins of fruits and vegetables, a good peeler is an essential tool in any kitchen. Kyocera peelers are a great choice. This particular peeler is a Y or Yoke Style Peeler. This style of peeler is often preferred when peeling larger items like mangos or sweet potatoes, but it can be used for more than just fruits and vegetables. Use your peeler to shave super thin slices of cheese or chocolate, make decorative vegetable ribbons for salads, garnish cocktails with the zest of a lemon, lime, or orange, or even shave frozen butter so it can be easily spread on your breakfast toast.
Kyocera peelers offer a great introduction to ceramic kitchen tools which are easy to use, lightweight and rust-proof. With an efficient, ultra-sharp blade that stays sharp 10X longer than steel blades, ceramic kitchen tools last for a very long time without any sharpening or maintenance.
Kyocera peelers are available in both vertical and horizaontal styles. This is a Y-peeler, also known as a horizontal or yoke style peeler. It has a one-sided blade that swivels in the centers and has corers positioned on both ends (these can be used to remove the eyes from potatoes and the stems from strawberries or other similar fruits and vegetables.
The blade of this peeler is Zirconia Z206, Kyocera's proprietary advanced ceramic formula that is made exclusively in Japan. No one else can use or claim to use this advanced ceramic material which has very dense sub-micron particles, leaving minimal voids. This translates into a stronger, denser blade that holds an edge longer than other ceramic knives - period! The blade on a Kyocera Advanced Ceramic knife or kitchen tool creates minimal resistance as you slice. Kyocera ceramic products create clean, precise cuts that require less pressure than any other ceramic.
