For years, I’ve been relying on a pair of produce peelers. One is red, the other green. Green is for hard-skinned produce like potatoes, carrots, apples—the red peeler for delicate, soft-skinned items like tomatoes, pears, and grapes. OK, just kidding about the grapes, but you get the idea … 

I’ve come to loathe my peelers, not only because they don’t do a spectacular job of peeling but because I can never remember which is which. I don’t think I have ever grabbed the correct option on the first try. And since they are not marked, I have to actually try, for example, the green one on a potato to figure it out. Should be red on an apple (makes sense) but I can’t remember. So annoying.

But here’s something I’ve never considered about any vegetable peeler. Like fine cutlery, a peeler needs to be sharpened! That being the case, surely my peelers are meant to be disposable. There is no way I could get in there with a sharpener.

 

Dreamfarm Sharple Self-Sharpening Peeler

After reading, testing, and joyfully throwing out my pair of peelers, I have added a new member to my kitchen utensil drawer—Dreamfarm Sharple. This clever gadget is a fruit and vegetable peeler that automatically sharpens itself every time I open it, use it, then again when I close it. How cool is that? My new Sharple has brought a little fun and a whole lot of efficiency to my meal prep.

Note: EC Readers are so crazy about this product, we seem to frequently sell out Amazon and Walmart. Typically Amazon restocks  quickly, Walmart can be iffy. So keep checking. Direct from Dreamfarm is reliable.
