Setup and First Use

3. Clean: Wash the peeler thoroughly with warm, soapy water before its first use. Rinse and dry completely.

Operating Instructions

The julienne peeler is designed for ease of use, whether you are right-handed or left-handed. It creates fine, consistent strips suitable for salads, stir-fries, garnishes, and more.

1. Prepare Food: Select a firm vegetable or fruit, such as a carrot or zucchini. Wash and trim as needed.
2. Grip: Hold the peeler firmly by its stainless steel handle.
3. Position: Place the food item on a stable surface, such as a cutting board. Hold the food item securely with your non-peeling hand, keeping fingers away from the blade's path.
4. Peel: With a steady, downward motion, draw the peeler along the length of the food item. The serrated blade will create thin, uniform julienne strips. Repeat until the desired amount of strips is achieved.
