Because they’re so cheap, you can just toss the peeler when it’s dull and start with a new one. “They are easy to use, clean, and replaceable when the blade wears down,” says Nina Brondmo, owner of Bakeri in Williamsburg.

That doesn’t mean they’re low-quality, though. These peelers are inexpensive - as little as $3 each when you buy in packs - and they’re readily available at most restaurant supply stores. And though they’re real multitaskers in the kitchen, they’re especially good for apples. The standard peelers in most professional kitchens are the Kuhn Rikon Swiss peelers as chef Jordan Andino told us back in 2016, a Kuhn peeler was one of the must-have kitchen tools he needed while working at the French Laundry.
