How to Use the Negg Boiled Egg Peeler

The Jonas peeler, designed in Sweden in 1953, is a straight design with a pivoting blade attached to the end of an oblong metal loop handle, which is held like a knife. A shaft runs through the length of the handle. The blade has two edges to enable use in either direction, and by either hand. While often copied, the original is still made by Linden Sweden. For many decades, it has been the standard type of peeler in the United States. [2] Y peelers [ edit ] A chef uses a Y peeler to peel a lime A peeler ( vegetable scraper) is a kitchen tool, a distinct type of kitchen knife, consisting of a metal blade with a slot with a sharp edge attached to a handle, used to remove the outer layer (the "skin" or "peel") of some vegetables such as potatoes, broccoli stalks, and carrots, and fruits such as apples and pears. A paring knife may also be used to peel vegetables. The blade of a peeler has a slot with one side sharpened; the other side of the slot prevents the blade from cutting too far into the vegetable.When it comes to peeling hard boiled eggs, everyone has their own particular method. Some use the edge of a spoon to tap a line around the center of the shell. Some bash it wholesale against the counter or roll it between their hands. The unique, crystal clear, egg-shaped design is equipped with 100 nodules on the inside that loosen and remove shells when you shake. The egg goes in whole and shelled, you shake for 5-6 seconds, and when you open the top, pristine eggs have been totally separated from their shells. All you have to do is pull them out and dispose of shell remains. There are numerous designs of peelers used today. Most handheld peelers are either straight or Y-type, while the particular designs vary depending on region and personal preference.

A particularly famous example of this variety is the Zena Rex peeler, invented in 1947 by Alfred Neweczerzal of Davos, Switzerland. Considered an icon of Swiss design, it was featured on a 2004 Swiss postage stamp. [3] It has a one piece aluminum handle and a pivoting carbon steel blade with dual edges. The stainless steel handled variant, the Zena Star peeler, was the model popularized by legendary New York City street hawker Joe Ades. Egg Stripper shortens the process considerably. All you have to do is boil eggs, covered, for 12 minutes, allow them to rest in an ice bath for 10 minutes, and then pop three-five eggs into the Egg Stripper with water and shake for 5-6 seconds to completely remove shells without damaging your eggs.

Peel three eggs in seconds with Egg Stripper’s easy and convenient egg shell removers.A straight peeler has the blade parallel to the handle, resembling a knife. The blade may be fixed or pivoting. The Lancashire and French Econome designs contain a fixed blade which does not pivot. The Lancashire often has a round wooden handle wrapped in string, and is often single edged, though there are dual edged variants. The Econome, invented in 1928 by Victor Pouzet, entails a unique blade design that features two slits. [1] Swivel peelers have the blade mounted on a pivot; the angle of the blade self-adjusts as pressure is applied, increasing ease of use. As soon as you see the white of the egg, stop and slide the egg out of the shell. If you have trouble, break the membrane to release the shell. (This is rare and just means the egg is exceptionally fresh.) Most "Y" and inline pivoting peelers have a straight blade. A few have a curved blade which is a closer fit to the contour of a potato or other item being peeled; it takes a wider bite, requiring fewer passes to complete peeling. [4]
