TOMATENSCHÄLER SPIRIT

The blade glides under the skin so cleanly that I stopped losing half the tomato to the knife. It's small enough to toss in the drawer, and now peeling a whole bowl for salsa takes maybe five minutes.

I've been blanching tomatoes for sauce for years and always burned my fingers trying to pull the skins off. This peeler makes it so much easier — the blade glides under the skin without gouging the flesh. My only wish is that the handle were a touch longer, but it's a solid little tool.

The little serrated edge grips the skin just right, so I can peel a whole bowl of Roma tomatoes without any boiling water. It's small enough to toss in the drawer and the handle doesn't slip even with wet hands.
