Using our Safety Food Peeler:
Ensure the child is at the correct height, sitting or standing over what they are about to peel.
- Secure the chopping board and if required place a damp tea towel under it so it won’t slip.
- Let the child choose left or right-handed. Children sometimes swap hands to try each side; let them go and find what works best for them.
- Hold the peeler with the desired hand and place the index finger on the fingerprint guide. (Not the thumb, as this twists the Peeler.) The purpose of this is to keep the Peeler flat to guide and slide, NOT to push downwards.
- Slide the peeler along the vegetable slowly at a slight angle to remove the skin.
- Only light pressure is required. There is no need to press down hard.
- The peel should come off in a long ribbon, if it doesn’t, simply change the angle of the peeler.
Tips:
- Tip 1 Demonstrate the correct technique to the child before they begin.
- Tip 2 Remember: the lighter the pressure, the better.
- Tip 3 It is Dishwasher safe, but not too hot. A rinse under a running tap is really all that is required, however, if using a dishwasher please place your Safety Food Peeler on the top shelf.
